CPU usage

by pete

Greetings, I notice when I have Dillo open for any bit of time, my CPU usage gets about 98%. Any ideas on fixes for this? O/S is FreeBSD 4.9. I notice this happens on my sons machine as well...same O/S. Thanks! -- Pete http://milneweb.com http://nomorevirus.com

Re: [Dillo-dev] An odd request, I know...

Hehe, you haven't heard my complaints yet ;) Don't worry, they're not so bad, and I'm not going to go making demands. Here you go: -I understand you not wanting the referer info being sent, even if it does make the logs from my hit-counter a bit less useful, *but*, some sites do seem to use the referer tags to work out if you're accessing their images, etc deep-linked from some other page. I'm afraid I can sort of sympathise with this, as the idea of "stealing bandwidth" does have quite a lot of truth in it (it does cost them money). So, perhaps (as someone else suggested) Dillo could have some button or menu option, etc that we could click to allow the referer tags to be set temporarily for pages that need them? Or alternatively, images on pages could automatically have the referer tags set for them, or they could be used for accessing *any* other file on the same server perhaps. Just thoughts. -It's probably because I'm using a snapshot of 0.8.0-pre from about November with Frank's tabs patch (OK maybe the tabs patch doesn't affect this), but once or twice I've found my load average go way up, and looking at PS, found dpid spawning the https plugin repeatedly (with each one dying again so there was only ever one at a time). IIRC this happened (some time) after quitting Dillo. Perhaps this is one of the things you've fixed since then. -It's great that the cache is used so aggressively with static content, it keeps things very very fast, keeps the network usage down, and is very useful when the connection goes down; but it does seem to get used in many places where it really shouldn't, such as dynamic content (revisit certain CGI scripts and you just get the cache), and that problem with images- where if a screenful of images stops loading, refreshing will *not* reload the half-done images. OTOH, it's *good* that dynamic content doesn't get reevaluated when I press the *back* button. That's a PITA when other browsers do that, as I usually just want to go back to where I was before. -MOST important to me: Bookmarks. I like the way Dillo now has bookmarks shown as a web page instead of a menu, I like that it allows us to put them into categories, and I like that the DPI system allows the bookmarks to be controlled by a separate program. Unfortunately, bookmarks are still one of the main reasons I still use Konqueror (despite the stupid crashes): I have lots of them, last time I tried to work it out I calculated maybe a thousand- and a great many of these are *not* pr0n! The only way I can cope with so many of them is having them organised into a very deep heirarchy. But not only does Dillo's bookmarks program not allow this, but it has every single bookmark shown on the same page! The scrollbar control is tiny! So, I'd love it if the bookmarks code stuck each section in its own page, and let me nest one section in another. Perhaps the current version is only temporary, so you'd have time to work on other stuff, and all this is already planned, but I thought I ought to mention it because *this* is one thing that would really make Dillo great for me. I'd have a go at this myself, but I've already got lots of other things to do. OK, I suppose you do as well. That's it, really. For me, the problems are definitely oughtweighed by Dillo's good points, like the stability and speed, I just want to be able to use it a lot more! > > seeing, every time I started Dillo, the tidy little splash screen... > > > > ...So basically, would Jorge (or whoever is responsible for that) mind > > if I effectively copied the HTML? > > Yes I do mind... > > I find it great if you reuse them! Go ahead. Excellent! Thanks very much. In fact, Sunny Raspet had already offered to let me use some of his layout, but as I'd already got my macros to churn out Dillo's tags, I figured I'd wait and see instead. > I'd be awful if it comes the day when those things can be patented > or copyrighted. Yeah, I know what you mean. > PS: Please let me know the URL after you finish. It's not strictly finished, there's various pages missing, but: http://www.angelfire.com/super2/duologue/ Thanks, Tom Barnes-Lawrence

The most recent I recall is Indan's HTTPS patch; details are here: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2003-November/001524.html The patch is against Dillo CVS from November. It's a bit old at this point, so I don't know if it will apply properly to more recent CVS revisions. Indan's patch is also integrated into my GNU Arch archive, which one can read about here: http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~pelzlpj/tla/README.dillo Paul

It sounds like Yahoo is requiring an SSL connection to log in. There are some people working on adding SSL support, and at least one set of patches to 0.7.3, though I think there are at least two approaches right now. Anyone have more detail?

Yahoo

by Peter Milne

Good Morning All, I certainly am liking Dillo still but wondering if I am ever going to be able to use it on my Yahoo? I try to sign in and it tells me 'unsupported protocol'. How long before we get to use Dillo 80% of the time? I would guess now I am at about 50% usage for a browser. Thanks for the great work! -- ~~~Pete~~~ http://milneweb.com http://nomorevirus.com

Url box and more history

by Fisco ;)

Hi all, I have recently started running Dillo, and yip its awesome. Anyhoo I want to add my own custom modifications to the browser, 1) Allowing the history list to be displayed in the url-box, as the user types an address. Kinda like how internet explorer used to work before they used drop down lists. What I want to know is where I can take the history list located in history.c and use it in the url-box whenever keypress is done. Any ideas suggestions?
