Let's see: "sessions that require periodic client refresh" It sounds more like cookie sessions combined with cache control directives than HTML-embedded meta refresh tags. (if you can see our custom warning msg, it's a meta-refresh) AFAICS It'd be rare for a server to send a meta-refresh tags because it can generate the page itself. Although I also see that if the resource is elsewhere it can try to redirect the browser, but again HTTP does it better. In anycase, please explain me in more detail what the desired functionality is, to study how to make it happen for you. If it is a cache issue, Madis Janson has a patch for that (only half reviewed by me, but with a good chance to make it into the official tree). I hope this to be the case. ... and if it is the propietary meta-refresh tag, considering that it'll be deployed as a kiosk, a private patch can cut it, but let's hope that's not the case! Cheers Jorge.-

Re: [Dillo-dev] Re: Dillo RPM/build on SuSE 8.1

by Kelson Vibber

OK, here's a test SRPM that includes the patch: http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/rpms/dillo-0.7.3-2test1.src.rpm Right now I just have it adding the patch by default, since it won't actually change any behavior on Red Hat <= 9 or Mandrake <= 9.1. They don't include libpng-config or libpng12-config, so the line being changed never gets called. I'll have to check to make sure it doesn't cause problems for SuSE 8.2. Give it a try and let me know if it works - and what size it ends up being. That's the other mystery: how checkinstall ends up with such huge binaries. I don't do anything special to minimize the size, except calling "make install-strip" instead of "make install" - but I seem to recall that wasn't the issue in this case. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

Will be included in the next version of the tab patch, which is forthcoming... I'll remove it from there if it appears in CVS Dillo. I miss it as well...

re: Anti-aliasing patch for dillo-0.7.3 available

by Reid Fleming

> Please, could you also tell us what you have changed besides > adapting the patch to 0.7.3? There were almost no changes from your patch, aside from "src/Makefile.in" where I changed LIBS = @LIBS@ to LIBS = @LIBS@ -lXft2 -lXrender -lfontconfig so that it would correctly link on my machine. There might have been an additional instance of gdk_text_width that I changed to gdk_text_width_xft but that's it. Thanks again for your patch. Will this make it in to the next version of dillo ?
