[Dillo-dev]UTF-8

Hi guys! I just added a small hack to view UTF-8-encoded quotation marks. Yes, it's a mistery to me why someone would want to serve pages in english, encoded in UTF-8 instead of Latin1. ...but you may find some as this one: http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0422/040602_news_microsoft.php Please let me know if you know of more pages like this one, or if you know the rationale for preferring UTF-8 over latin1 when the latter is enough. Cheers Jorge.-

[Dillo-dev]very simple question, and many kudos!

first off, i would like to say that i am completely impressed with dillo's efficiency. i finally found myself to be in the position where i needed to get X11 onto my Toshiba Tecra notebook so that i could use a web browser. it's a 166Mhz with 32M ram, so i asked around what would be the best browser for such a low resource machine, and was told firefox by a few. so i got a copy of firefox. it was so slow, not only was it unusable, it made the rest of my computer unusable. then someone mentioned dillo. so i got it. i have to say, i can't even put my surprise of how fast it was into words. i was floored. this is EXACTLY what i needed. so far, it's perfect for me. the only thing that i have a question about is PgUp and PgDn only moving half a page at a time. is there a way to get them to move a full page? thanks, and keep up the excellent work!! -brian -- "Performing a Google search on the fairly unique name you've chosen weeks ago for a piece of software you're writing, only to discover that the sole occurance of that name is as a pen-name for someone who spends his spare time writing X-rated PowerPuff Girls fan fiction is pretty-much a buzzkill." -- Jonathan Patschke --

[Dillo-dev][bug] ppc64 crash on right-click / bug tracking system
by Thomas Cort 03 Jun '04

03 Jun '04

Hi, I ran into a problem where dillo crashes when I right click on any part of a webpage. A full bug report is below this paragraph. When I went to use the bug tracking system I noticed the "Max 256 chars" notice. Is it possible to get this increased? I couldn't get my bug report into <= 256 characters. Dillo 0.8.1 on GNU/Linux (yellowdog 3.0) ppc64 (Apple G5) configure options: --prefix=/home1/students/tcort To reproduce bug: ssh with X11 forwarding and compression turned on, start dillo, and right click on any part of the webpage. Notes: I don't have local access to this machine, so I don't know if it's an X11 forwarding bug or a ppc64 specific bug. Browsing webpages works fine as long as you don't right click. Using other programs with X11 forwarding from this machine, such as gimp, work fine. Output: tcort@pepsi tcort $ ssh -X -C turing.ubishops.ca tcort(a)turing.ubishops.ca's password: [tcort@turing tcort]$ bin/dillo dillo_dns_init: Here we go! Disabling cookies. Nav_open_url: Url=>about:splash< Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) serial 2306 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0 Gdk-ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) serial 2307 error_code 10 request_code 102 minor_code 0 [tcort@turing tcort]$

[Dillo-dev]https (eg for posting to ps2 bulletin boards)
by robert w hall 02 Jun '04

Every time I read the playstation2-linux lists I realise how very useful dillo will be when it gets just a little further. How's the short/medium term future of https looking?(*) If an official plugin is in the offing then that's probably what we should all wait for. Otherwise, is the patch from 0.7 resurrectable??

[Dillo-dev]dillo as a debian package ..?
by Jorge Arellano Cid 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hi! It's been a long time since the debian package for Dillo is not updated. Since 0.7.3 to be accurate. :-( I've contacted Phil and, surprisingly, the only reason for them not being made is lack of time. Is here a Debian developer that can take the burden, or help Phil, or at least provide us with an x86 .deb to link to from the download page? It seems important because Debian lingering on 0.7.3 implicitly passes the (wrong) message of the latter versions of dillo not being worth an upgrade. TIA Jorge.- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jesper Olsen <__lazer __at phreaker__ net__> To: jcid(a)dillo.org Subject: dillo as a debian package ..? hello there .. Is there somewhere around where i can get dillo-0.8.1 as a .deb file?? i can't find it, i've almost looked everywhere :s MaNN, thank you for a wonderful browser .. it runs top stable and fast on my 166mhz .. well, it is a shame that i can't get the new versions of the browser ! DILLO ROCKS!!!!! - lazer

This is what I replied privately to Sebastian: > BTW, it is not very obvious, that there is a menu behind these two > buttons. Perhaps there should be, in the icon, a small arrow > directed downdwards, or so. In fact I didn't ever discovered there was such (useful) menu. :-( > (ii) It provides a function for attaching a menu in a better way, > than we have currently, for the "Back" and "Forward" menus, > and for the bug meter. Another menu I didn't catch, the bug meter menu. :-) > Comments welcome. Very nice. :-)
