The problem was that I incorrectly thought that the rc file should be ~/.dillorc instead of ~/.dillo/dillrc. Thanks, Ken

I think you'll find that was a misinterpretation of Dillo: error reading /home/<user>/.dillo: No such file or directory Which gets created, so the next time you run dillo it doesn't complain. -- Stephen Lewis

[RFC] external Dillo splash screen

by Frank de Lange

Hi'all, I've removed the Dillo splash screen from src/IO/about.c, and added a new preference 'splash_url' (currently set to '/usr/lib/dillo/dillo.html' by default, this can change). The contents of that file are identical to the current splash screen. I've also added a new pref 'show_splash', which - you guessed it - can be used to suppress the splash screen. Set it to NO, and Dillo will come up with a blank window instead. Dillo is now ca. 11 KB smaller than before. The splash screen loads just as fast. The splash screen can be distributed with Dillo just like the dpi's are. Should it be missing, all that'll happen is that Dillo will complain about not finding the file. No breakage... Seems like an improvement to me.

Hi Stephen; That was **EXACTLY** the problem! I moved ~/.dillorc to be ~/.dillo/dillorc...Works fine now!

Well, the dillorc provided in the Dillo-tarball should recide in ~/.dillo/ - i.e. the path should be ~/.dillo/dillorc and NOT ~/.dillorc - Victor

The impression I get from the earlier posts is not that your proxy server is not resolving requests from Dillo, but that Dillo is not sending requests to the proxy server. As Thorben stated: > Dillo does not support those either, it needs the actual address and port > of the proxy. So if you use the IP address or a name listed in /etc/hosts, it sounds like it should work. (I've never used a proxy with Dillo, I'm just basing this on what I've read today.)

The proxy settings are identical. One of them exists in the ~/.dillorc and the other exists in the mozilla advanced proxy setting preferences. So, it looks to me like dillo doesn't like my ~/.dillorc and isn't telling me that there's a problem. Mozilla works fine, dillo doesn't, the proxy settings are the same. Ken

Dillo does not support those either, it needs the actual address and port of the proxy. as long as your dillo tries to dns resolve the host of the url you enter, it is for some reason NOT using a proxy at all. > Are you saying that dillo under a proxy expects the proxy server to do all > dns resolution?
