I would, but unfortunately it really requires a faster machine than I've got available - running code under Valgrind is a *lot* slower than running it natively. > The home page is at: http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/ > > Note that most probably the development version is required > because dillo uses several threads (POSIX).

Valgrind

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! Sometime ago someone suggested using "Valgrind" to test our memory management. After reading its docs, it looks quite worth a try! As using Valgrind to test dillo is akin to using efence (mostly userland), I thought it may be very well done while I keep working on dillo internals. Is anyone interested? The home page is at: http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/ Note that most probably the development version is required because dillo uses several threads (POSIX). Cheers Jorge.-

When listing directories, dillo analizes the filename extension to know what type a file is. If there's no extension, plain text is used. Now, I just commited a patch to the CVS that when analizes the file's data when its filename doesn't have an extension. The process is more tricky than it seems at first sight. Because lots of trouble come when a filetype is misdetected. I added this commet to file.c: /* Content type info: as we may misdetect a lot of files, * every unknown type is rendered as "text/plain". * todo: a better approach could be to detect&reject thosetypes we know * for sure we don't handle (as gzip, bzip, ELF, etc) */ Now, dillo tries to detect the file type (among the few types it knows how to handle), but if forced (clicking the file), it renders as plain text. It works quite nice for me, and it should solve your problem. > I don't mind working on a patch if this capability doesn't already > exist, but before embarking down that path I thought I'd check with > the experts as I didn't see a reference to this "problem". Well, if someone has time, it'd be good to detect gzip & bzip2 and not to try to render them as plain text (because it makes little sense and wastes memory cache). For that purpose, a little extension to a_Misc_get_content_type_from_data (based on /etc/magic logic) is required, and also arranging the details: for instance, showing "Compressed" as file type in directory listings, and sending a message to the status bar when those files are clicked. Something like: "Sorry, I don't know how to display this file" That'd be nice for now. Sometime in the future, this file type can be used to handle the file to other programs/viewers using the dpi gateway. Cheers Jorge.- PS: but please bear in mind that dillo is not a file browser! :)

(this is minor change in configure.in) Done! BTW, we still have some problems with our configure.in: - `make dist` doesn't work - There're problems with Jpeg includes. - some people has had problems with our workaround for /usr/local Please, if someone with autoconf knowledge can look at those, please do so (the bugtrack has more details). Cheers Jorge.-

Hi there, I just commited a patch for BUG#434. It modifies dillo and the bookmarks server, so you must: 1.- kill the running bookmarks server. 2.- install the new one. 3.- install the new dillo 3.- Enjoy and test! Cheers Jorge.-

Feature Requests

by Christoph Bauer

Hi, first, thank you for this great browser! But I need some tiny features: * new window (Ctrl-N) should set the focus to the location bar * new window (middle button of mouse on a link) should be lowered by the window manager. (-> this realizes my tab browsing + background download ;-) * ftp://.*/ links should open a external program, e.g. xterm -e lftp $url greetings, Christoph Bauer -- proc self {} {foreach c [split [info body self] ""] d {14 -7 0 0 4 -67 4 73 11 69 24 -83 -15 6 -4 -84 78 20 11 -78 -1 -1 79 19 -8 4} { binary scan $c c c if {[catch {append r [format %c [expr $c+$d]]}]} {return $r};}};puts [self]
