https approaches?
by Ami Fischman 14 Mar '03

Hi there, SSL support is one of the biggest lacks in dillo for me. To that end, I'm thinking of adding it in. Without knowing the dillo codebase, I see two obvious options: 1) Add a src/IO/https.c file based on src/IO/http.c 2) Move http.c to using openssl's BIO's which can support either encrypted or clear traffic, as well as filters. 1 seems much more straightforward and will result in quicker https support, but will cause there to be a whole hell of a lot of code duplication between http.c & https.c. 2 seems like the more "moral" choice and will make dillo better, at the cost of making openssl necessary for dillo builds. Is anyone currently working on ssl support in dillo? Are you using either of the above two options? If the answer to the first question is negative, do people have feelings about code duplication vs. reliance on openssl? (of course, there's a third option of #ifdef'ing the hell out of http.c, adding BIO support that can be compiled out leaving the current plain socket-based code, but that would probably be more of a nightmare to maintain than 1) above).

VERY URGENT
by Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

Dear Friend, I am Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha, wife to the late Nigerian Head of state, General Sani Abacha who died on the 8th of June 1998 while still on active service for our Country. l am contacting you with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me, I currently have within my reach the sum of 24 million U.S dollars cash which l intend to use for investment purposes outside Nigeria. This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my husband and a Russian firm in our country's multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta steel plant. The Russian partners returned my husbands share being the above sum after his death. Presently, the new civilian Government has intensified their probe into my husbands financial resources which has led to the freezing of all our accounts, local and foreign, the revoking of all our business licences and the arrest of my First son. In view of this I acted very fast to withdraw this money from one of our finance houses before it was closed down. I have deposited the money in a security company with the help of very loyal officials of my late husband. No record is known about this fund by the government because there is no documentation showing that we received such funds. Due to the current situation in the country and government attitude to my family, I cannot make use of this money within, thus I seek your help in transferring this funds out of the sub-African region. Bearing in mind that you may assist me, l have decided to part with 20% of the total sum. Your URGENT response is needed. Please include your personal phone and fax number. Regards, Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha

I can't see iso-8859-2 fonts in my dillo. Is it possible to use *-iso-8859-2 fonts, to display pages? -- W.Karas tel:0048(12)411-52-22(home),0048(12)617-25-88(work) mailto:karas@uci.agh.edu.pl http://gollum.uci.agh.edu.pl visit 'aid for polish children' site http://www.pajacyk.pl

space in urls
by Ami Fischman 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

Is there some reason why spaces are dropped from URLs in dillo? Most other browsers will convert such spaces to %20 (and similarly with other illegal URI characters) automagically. It's a convinience which some webmasters take for granted (and which breaks browsing with dillo). Cheers, -- Ami Fischman usenet(a)fischman.org

dillo binary size
by Simon Davis 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hi, After building dillo 0.7.1.2 and stripping the binary the file size is almost 1.6 megs. When I built 0.7 the final binary came out to be 289k. I built both using the uclibc library and gcc 3.2. Is there some special configuration option I need to add to make the binary smaller? Thanks SD __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

nowrap and prefs.limit_text_width
by Nicolas Kaiser 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hi there! I'm having a little problem with sites that excessively make use of "nowrap" tags, like <http://futurezone.orf.at> I toyed with limit_text_width (quote from dillorc: # Set this to YES, if you want to limit the word wrap width to the vieport # width (may be useful for iPAQ) limit_text_width=YES ), but I noticed that this option doesn't work as I would have expected, because it doesn't force wrapping here (nowrap). Now I think in the context of this dillorc remark, it might be a good idea to override 'nowrap' when limit_text_width is wanted. Am I cruelly breaking standards, or would that make sense? Please have a look at the above site with limit_text_width=YES, and then with the below patch. Thanks for your fantastic work, n. --- src/html.c.orig 2003-03-10 22:04:45.000000000 +0100 +++ src/html.c 2003-03-10 22:10:21.000000000 +0100 @@ -1398,7 +1398,7 @@ style_attrs = *old_style; if (!html->stack[html->stack_top].cell_text_align_set) style_attrs.text_align = text_align; - if (Html_get_attr(html, tag, tagsize, "nowrap")) + if ((Html_get_attr(html, tag, tagsize, "nowrap")) && (!prefs.limit_text_width)) style_attrs.nowrap = TRUE; else style_attrs.nowrap = FALSE;
