Fake FTP support?
by Ed Avis May 12, 2003

May 12, 2003

I was able to add FTP support to my copy of Dillo with a one line patch in IO/Url.c: static UrlMethod2_t cccList[] = { {"http" , a_Http_ccc}, + {"ftp" , a_Http_ccc}, {"file" , a_File_ccc}, Of course this is cheating becuase it requires an http proxy server. But given that I have such a server running, ftp in Dillo works well. Perhaps Dillo could look at the ftp_proxy environment variable, or an ftp_proxy option in the config file, and if it is set use that option to handle ftp URLs by sending http requests to the proxy. I don't know what the maintainers will think of this idea. From one point of view it is a good thing to do because it doesn't add duplicate ftp-handling code to Dillo itself - the proxy server already has code to make ftp requests and translate them to web pages, so why not use it? On the other hand the maintainer may feel that ftp should be either fully supported within Dillo or not supported at all. (Using an external program for ftp is okay, but having the ftp sites shown directly within Dillo is much smoother and faster. You can use the Back button, for example.) But anyway I hope some people find the patch useful in the short term. -- Ed Avis <ed(a)membled.com>

Oh yeah, the speed thing is fantastic! Since loading 1300 fonts in my machine, Opera went from firing up in six seconds to taking 23 seconds to load. Dillo starts in 0.78 seconds! ;-) -- Gregg

Konqueror is an excellent browser. However is main disadvantage is that it is a slow starter. Therefore I appreciate dillo very much. I use it for viewing local .html, especially documentations, and as an super quick internet viewer. Therefore I configured dillo as browser for my mail client, emacs, and many more programms.

reason for dillo's existence
by Philippe Laporte May 7, 2003

May 7, 2003

Hi, Would a Konqueror(Khtml) ported to GTK render dillo irrelevant, or is there really a spot out there for browsers with conformance to subsets of widely used web standards? I mean, why was dillo ever started? Would it have been started if KHTML had been ported to GTK at the time? Thaks, Philippe

GUI library changing
by Isaque Galdino May 6, 2003

Hi guys, I would like to know how hard would be changing the GUI library. I would like to change GTK+ stuff by FLTK and run dillo on my PDA that uses mainly FLTK library. Thnx.
