[PATCH]: commands & auto-reload (was Re: dillo / time-controlled reloads)

by Melvin Hadasht

[Henning, you may be interested: the patch implements a --reload option] Hi, To implement the server and remote commands feature in Dillo, I'm going to go step by step. First, I'll implement commands to control Dillo at startup time, then I'll implement the server mode (where a Dillo instance can send the aforementioned commands to another Dillo instance). This is because I may try two differents approaches for the server mode part and because the commands are just a generalization of the command line options and can be implemented separately. Here is my first step: implement commands (like -c "open(URL)"). Patch is attached and is against CVS version. This is a generalization of the command line interface, and in fact, most of the old command line options are translated to a Dillo -c command. The advantage of such approach is that the commands can take optional parameters, like in: dillo -c "open(URL newwindow reload=10 fullwindow=yes)" which is approximately equivalent to: dillo -f -r 10 URL The commands are passed to Dillo as arguments to the -c, --command command line option: dillo -c "open(http://www.google.com)" 1. Command Syntax The argument to the -c command line option is of the form: CMD([STRING][ PARAM=VALUE]...) CMD: command name STRING: first and generic argument: in general a URL or yes|no PARAM: name of optional parameter VALUE: value of optional parameter. Currently, only booleans (yes|no) and integer values are supported. Boolean value can be omitted, in which case the value is considered to be "yes". Integer value cannot be omitted. Parameters are separated with a single space (no commas, to simplify the parser) Commands can be divided into two groups: actions commands, and options commands 2. Action Commands: They do some action: currently implemented commands: open(URL [ fullwindow[=yes|no]] [ reload=SECONDS] [ spamsafe[=yes|no]] [ xid=XID]) parameters speak for themselves. The "reload" parameter is a new feature: it allows to reload the URL each SECONDS seconds. The reload is halted when the page is not viewed and restarted if the user comes back to it. exit() exit the instance. This will be useful when passed to another Dillo instance running as a server. Other commands can be added. The framework is quite flexible and extensible. 3. Options Commands These commands set some options that will affect the following commands. For example, the parameters used in the open() command act only on that particular URL. But it can be useful to be able to set some defaults values. The currently implemented commands that influence these defaults are: fullwindow([yes|no]) reload(SECONDS) spamsafe([yes|no]) xid(XID) all open() commands that come after these options commands will have these default values, unless explicitly overridden. 4. Examples: dillo -c "open(http://www.google.com)" -c "open(file:///home/mhadasht/test.html newwindow spamsafe)" will open two windows: the first with google, and the second with the local file opened in spamsafe mode. dillo -c "reload(10)" -c "open(http://www.freshmeat.net)" -c "open(http://news.google.com newwindow)" will open 2 windows and will reload both URLs each 10s. This is equivalent to: dillo --reload 10 http://www.freshmeat.net http://news.google.com 5. Implementation details: 5.1. Command Line Parsing Command line options other than the help/version options are translated into a -c command and stored in a list. The list of commands is then executed (or, when the server mode will is implemented, sent to another Dillo instance) 5.2. Reload Function a URL can be set to auto-reload itself if it is currently viewed. For that, a new member (reload_interval [milliseconds]) to DilloUrl is added and set with a_Url_set_reload(). Each BrowserWindow can trigger a timer function if the viewed URL (Nav_open_url()) has a non-zero reload_interval. (As soon as another URL is viewed, or when the BrowserWindow is destroyed, the eventually pending timeout function is removed.) The timer is of the one-shot type: when it is triggered, it requests its BrowserWindow to reload the URL, then it stops itself. There is currently no UI to start/stop an auto-reload of a URL, but it is just a matter of using a_Url_set_reload() to a non-zero or a zero reload interval. 6. Remark The -c command and the normal command line options can be seen as two ways of doing the same thing: passing commands to Dillo. But the -c command is more generic and flexible and has a more powerful syntax. 7. Future Plans I plan to implement the server mode. After reading the dpi doc and source, I found that it cannot be used to make Dillo act as a plugin unless we accept to have only one Dillo server. This is because the socket names are tightly linked to the service name. Each service has only one socket. Whereas Dillo servers must have a distinct socket. If the we add another argument to the "start_plugin" cmd: <dpi cmd="start_plugin" msg="dillo" param="SERVER_NAME"> and if we modify the socket naming scheme, then it could be possible. I have to think about that again. But I may still use the communication infrastructure of the dpi. If I find this overkill, I'll revert to the straightforward approach I used before, that is, I won't use the dpi framework. OK, it's late, I hope I managed to be somewhat clear... Cheers. -- Melvin Hadasht

finger plugin

by Andreas Schweitzer

Hi, as promised in a previous mail. Here is the still quite rough finger dpi intended for interested developers : http://www.hs.uni-hamburg.de/~stcd102/dillo/ http://www.hs.uni-hamburg.de/~stcd102/dillo/adpi-0.1.tar.gz It's configure.in is essentially dillo's configure.in :-) you could actually just put finger.c in the ./dpi/ subdirectory of dillo and adjust Makefile.am accordingly. but now I have an actual distribution :-) In the tarball is also what I call so far a library ... well, or at least the routines that have been re-used over and over. Lastly, there is also an experiment : a term plugin, which lets you call arbitrary programs from within dillo (read the source, though !) Installation: just copy the created .dpi files to ~/.dillo/ and edit ~/.dillo/dpidrc (as long as this file exists), then go to dpi:/finger/ If you want dillo to actually recognize the finger URL you will have to edit src/IO/Url.c and sr/capi.c. Search for the string "ftp" inside these two files and duplicate the relevant part for the finger protocol. Or await how dillo evolves :-) Cheers, Andreas -- **************************** NEW ADDRESS ****************************** Hamburger Sternwarte Universitaet Hamburg Gojenbergsweg 112 Tel. ++49 40 42891 4016 D-21029 Hamburg, Germany Fax. ++49 40 42891 4198

I have been thinking back and forth about that point. I think what I will end up doing is at least implementing the actual download from within the ftp plugin. Weather it will be included in the "official" one, or if I make 2 versions (a basic one and a fancy one), or whatever, remains to be seen. I guess one could also think about sending the data from the ftp plugin directly to the download plugin w/o relaying it via dillo. > I left some code inside ftp.c that shows a beautiful trick to > tell whether an FTP URL is a directory when using wget (it > probably can be re-used). I saw it, and this is indeed a problem. I checked the ftp rfc and there is no command that will tell me if something is a regular file or a directory. Also, after checking the ftp rfc and the url syntax rfc (rfc 1738) especially, section 3.2.4 and 3.2.5 makes the logging into ftp sites somewhat problematic. Essentially, it says, unless you actually travel an ftp site like within an interactive client, there is no way of telling how to get from ftp://site.com/foo/bar/ (which could be one link in an html page) to ftp://site.com/foo2/bar2/ (which could be a 2nd link in an html page) > The most time consuming task with this approach is to parse the > ASCII from the ftp server into HTML (easy in theory but you'll > find different layouts).

[PATCH] version 9 of tab+frame patch, frame support 'complete' (?)

by Frank de Lange

Hi'all, The next version (9) of my tab patch is ready (see bottom of this message for download instructions). Frameset support is now almost complete, manual resize has been added, targeted link functionality has been improved, most frame-related attributes actually work, try it I'd say... Frameset (and iframe) support is enabled by default, it can be disabled using the configure option --enable-xhtml-dtd=strict. You can also use --enable-xhtml-dtd=transitional, which will give you iframe but no frameset support. The default option, --enable-xhtml-dtd=frameset, gives both iframe and frameset support. As usual, tab support can be disabled using --disable-tabs. Other new features (since the last version): - CTRL-U pops up the view source window - CTRL-B bookmarks the current page - CTRL-S pops up save page window New preferences frame_blank_in_tab=([NO]/YES): show frames with "_blank" target in new tab (instead of new window) (read the Browser_Frames.txt and Browser_Tabs.txt documents (in the doc/ directory) and the dillorc file for more info on tab- and frame-related preferences (after applying the patch, of course...)) Of course, the patch also fixes some bugs (and possibly introduces new ones). More on frame/iframe support ============================ Frameset support is based on a new widget (GtkFrameset) which implements <frameset> as specified in xhtml-dtd-frameset. This widget is not Dillo-specific, so it can in theory be used in any GTK program. It is a pure GTK widget, not rooted in Dw. It does not provide any special support for Dw-specific features (eg. the full-screen-off-button is not displayed in the widget). I might make a special version for Dillo after the GTK-version has been debugged sufficiently. What works: - loading (nested) framesets, displaying frames at their appropriate location and appropriate size, including margin width/height and scrolling. - loading (nested) iframes, displaying iframes at their appropriate location and with (mostly) appropriate size and alignment. - manual frame resize (row, column or both at the same time (drag border crossing - this does not work between nested framesets) - all frame-related menu options (in the popup menu). Frame menus can be accessed using the 'This Frame...' button in the popup menu, nested framesets have their own 'This Frameset...' menu. This way, Dillo allows you to limit actions to a subset of a framed document, eg. you can search for text in just one frame/iframe/frameset. Top-level menu options usually refer to the whole document (the frameset). An exception to this is the 'Jump To' option, which refers to the frame in which the menu was opened (question: should this contain the anchors for all frames?). Use the 'Show only this Frame' option in the Frame Options menu to get a full-page view of a frame. Same for 'Show only this Frameset'. What does not work yet: - the full_screen_off_button is not shown in frame documents. Use double-click instead to toggle the full screen setting... - the frameborder attribute works, but dw_gtk_scrolled_frame always draws a (focus) shadow around itself - even with the border size is set to 0. This makes it impossible to draw frames seamlessly. Tabs, Frames and browser bloat ============================== version: 0.8.0-pre patch: dillo-20030821-tabs.patch.gz unpatched: 285536 bytes patched, no tabs, no frames: 290444 bytes patched, with tabs, no frames: 298092 bytes patched, no tabs, with frames: 307116 bytes patched, with tabs, with frames: 314892 bytes version: 0.7.3 patch: dillo-0.7.3-20030821-tabs.patch.gz unpatched: 284416 bytes patched, no tabs, no frames: 289708 bytes patched, with tabs, no frames: 297324 bytes patched, no tabs, with frames: 305708 bytes patched, with tabs, with frames: 313452 bytes (gcc 3.2.2, binutils 2.13.90.0.18, CFLAGS "-Os") Judge for yourself if the features are worth their weight in bytes...

Well, you could add a portable implementation e.g. from the *BSD libc to dillo and a AC_CHECK_FUNCS to autoconf to conditionally include that code.

This is the only point I have some doubts. I've always thought that it is a good idea to keep separate configuration files for dillo, and its dpis (and dpid). One file with a lengthy collection of not tightly-related configuration directives sounds to me as low-cohesion and high-coupling (I'm not sure about what are the words in english for those technical terms. In spanish it is: cohesión y acoplamiento). The idea of having a preferences plugin providing an HTML GUI for: dillo, dpid, and each dpi, is what I picture in the long term. Something like: .-------. | Dillo | Dpid | ftp | https | .... | ---------------------------------------------------. | | | <dillo's preferences here> | | ... | | '-----------------------------------------------------------' Restore Apply Save I think that is easier and cleaner with separate configuration files. Also, the rc for each dpi would be located in its own dpi directory tree (available in next dpid patch). Note that the task of the preferences dpi is to change the rc file providing a nice GUI, not to make the changes effective. Taking the changes into account is a thing that each program knows better. The preferences dpi will "tell" that program to reread the rc and update its state, probably through dpidc or dpip. > > > I guess some of this (or all of it ?) is being worked on > > by some of you.

Note that you only need to provide the HTML output for FTP directories. Downloads are to be bounced back to dillo for it to forward them to the downloads plugin (that way the whole downloading is centralized in a single place, stats can be provided etc.). I left some code inside ftp.c that shows a beautiful trick to tell whether an FTP URL is a directory when using wget (it probably can be re-used). The most time consuming task with this approach is to parse the ASCII from the ftp server into HTML (easy in theory but you'll find different layouts). In fact that's what I did with and ancient FTP plugin I wrote. If the library you think of using writes HTML itself, great! If not, just tell me to dig in for my old FTP code, and to send it to you.

Don't panic! The mkdtemp() issue needs to be solved. Thanks for reporting the problem. If configure has a way to deal with it, we'd need to find it out how. If not, just to think of something else (as implementing a custom function as you did, or see if there's a wrapper in glib etc.) I'm open to suggestions. Cheers Jorge.-

The fact of dillo working perfectly without the explicit visual and colormap push in a wide variety of platforms, and it not being documented in the GTK+ docs, makes me at least suspect the bug may be elsewhere. Anyway, if you (or someone else) can ask to the gtk+ mailing list about whether this is required, it'd be great. Don't be shy, they've answered us in the past! :-) Ah, don't forget to point that we're using GTK+ 1.2.x.

OK, but I think we should hold off on 1 and 1b until I make the next dpid patch available. > 2) Does it make sense to write a library for all the dpi's ? > I, for myself, did start simply collecting all the functions > that I found in dpi/ and are used by many dpi's and put them > in a library.

Your strategy of creating a library of functions which are actually used by many dpis is a good one. > 3) About configuration (and I think I read comments about this > in the code), shouldn't there be only one config file ? > and not dpidrc and possibly different configs for all the dpis ? > maybe even merge cookiesrc with dillorc ?
