The problem is that our former plugin didn't do certificate authentication (among other things commented in the code). As the Dillo project takes security seriously, it was withdrawn from the newer releases... In other words, the https dpi allowed the user to see https URLs, but there was no security backing it. I know that some big browsers had the same bug for years, before it was made public. This allowed for instance, man-in-the-middle attacks by faking the destination site. Https is a very complex matter, and I'd rather prefer not to assert ours will be flawless. The least we can do is not to release one we know is broken. I hope we can make a good https dpi soon. If you want to use it anyway, assuming the risks, just get the https.c from 0.8.0 and drop it into the new tree. You will not even be able to post or send forms, but it'll allow to read some https forums. Atentamente Jorge.-

[Dillo-dev]thread-safe X at fresco
by robert w hall Aug. 13, 2004

Aug. 13, 2004

The thread-safe versions of XFree3.3.3.1 have disappeared from linuxsavvy, (and my own attempts too recompile my own have produced useable, but not wholly error-free results)... But I note that vintage.fresco.org still has two earlier thread-safe Xlibs, 3.1.2 and 3.2, linked statically. Anyone used these? dillo glib gtk appear only to use libX11, libXext, (which is all the earlier fresco 3.1.2 package provides). Bob Going bravely backwards from kernel 2.6.7! -- robert w hall

[Dillo-dev][patch] dillo-cvs fails to detect OpenSSL on FreeBSD
by Thomas-Martin Seck July 31, 2004

July 31, 2004

Hi all, I am the current maintainer of the dillo FreeBSD port. While looking at the current CVS version, I noticed that it fails to detect OpenSSL on FreeBSD (which has OpenSSL 0.9.7d in the base system) because the test program does not link to libcrypto, which causes the linking of the test program to fail with "unresolved symbols". The following patch "works for me", i.e. dillo compiles and the https filter does not error out directly (well, it failed anyway with "The remote certificate cannot be trusted" when I tried accessing <https://www.iks-jena.de> but I guess that is to be expected right now?). Anyway, keep up the good work!

[Dillo-dev]RE: MGDillo-porting Dillo to MiniGUI,are you interesting?
by david feldman July 27, 2004

July 27, 2004

Hello, Since I began using dillo (about a month or so), this is the second time I've seen the topic of a light(er) weight toolkit (the former was fltk, I believe.) I have been considering if it is possible to port either (miniGUI or fltk) or something similar to windows CE; there is a problem in the world of windows CE where the browser microsoft supplied (Pocket IE 3 for CE 2.11 and Pocket IE 4 for CE 3.0) is essentially obsolete (the problem is so severe on CE 2.11 that those machines aren't really robust enough even to access commercial hotspot websites that depend on some degree of competent web client.) There isn't as far as I know a browser under current development targeted at the Windows CE world (that is, something really independent of Pocket IE.) When I first saw Dillo it occured to me that a "Dillo for widows CE" would be nice, but as I looked at GTK+ it seemed alot of work. So, I'm wondering if anyone here in dillo-land has any interest in attacking a port to CE, perhaps through one of these lighter-weight GUI libraries?

Hi,everyone I am a developer from Beijing Frynman Software of China(http://www.minigui.com),My boss leaded the MiniGUI which is lighted GUI library of linux as an open source project some years ago(http://www.minigui.org). Now,we want to startup an open source project--MGDillo,its target is to port the Dillo from GTK+ to MiniGUI, so,maybe we perhaps need the Dillo developers' help,on the same time,I hope you can visit the MGDillo's website :http://www.minigui.net.

[Dillo-dev]Re: any documents about html parser?
by Calvin Yu July 26, 2004

July 26, 2004

yes, I'm going to make dillo able to render chinese. Furthermore, I wish I can add support for JavaScript for dillo. So I must analyse the code of html parser. Am I right? By the way, what do you think of porting GUI to gtk+-directfb? Then we don't need X Windows any longer. I'm a newbie in browser. Please tell me whether what I think is right or not. Thank you very much!

[Dillo-dev]HTTPS Cleanup
by Garrett Kajmowicz July 24, 2004

July 24, 2004

I have gone through and modified the https.c file to use (what I believe are) your preferred coding standards, with one exception. I *cannot* stand unbraced if statements (or any other statements), and thus I braced them in two locations. I also don't care for use of the tertiary operator, but you wrote the function it is used in, so I don't plan on touching it. I would also like your opinion on how to "clean up" the function save_certificate_home() It has three exit points, and dropping it to fewer would be somewhat of a challenge to do cleanly. There are a few loctions where I believe you broke a statement which would ift on one line, specifically snprintf statements. I might have dont this (though I can't think of why). If this is the case, could you let me know your reasoning behind this? I'd like to learn from this if possible... - Garrett Kajmowicz

[Dillo-dev]Your attention please: we have a webmaster!
by Jorge Arellano Cid July 23, 2004

July 23, 2004

Hi there, Yes it's true, now we have a dedicated webmaster. Jörgen Viksell (or Jorgen if the umlaut doesn't display) has accepted these duties, so now you'll see our old site starts to renew. For instance now we have a FAQ link (a work in progress). Please contact him for site-related suggestions/fixes/etc. He's in charge now. Cheers Jorge.- PS: Jörgen: please don't forget the webmaster link. (you can use an image or the same mangling as in the bugtrack for the email address). PS2: Garret: I added your suggestion to the NC_Design.
