[Dillo-dev]Invoke application upon clicking a link
by huy Oct. 8, 2004

Oct. 8, 2004

Hello all, I would like to be able to click on a link and invoke a local executable. As you might already know, this is similar to the activeX IE or the shell model in mozilla. And this is for a quick and dirty demo, so security isn't an issue. Is there a way I can do this with dillo (short of modifying the source code). The HTML will be on the local machine too. Thanks all Huy

[Dillo-dev]Mailing list search
by Jorge Arellano Cid Oct. 6, 2004

Oct. 6, 2004

Jörgen, and everybody I just noticed that GMANE is forcing javascript to display mailing list searches :(. Well, we have the relevant dillo-dev mail folders, so maybe it's time to provide that service from our web site. There surely are good programs for doing this. Does anyone know of a good candidate? (the problem is: given a set of mailfolders, provide a search engine with an HTML interface to them). -- Cheers Jorge.-

Hi, Here's the https-relevant part of a private email: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2004 10:25:24 -0400 (CLT) From: Jorge Arellano Cid <jcid(a)dillo.org> To: Brett Wynkoop <wynkoop(a)wynn.com> Subject: Re: dillo 0.8.2rc2 On Wed, 7 Jul 2004, Brett Wynkoop wrote: > [...] > I was surprised that there is no SSL support.

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 As the Dillo project takes security seriously, it was withdrawn from the newer releases...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]dillo rendering redesign version 3
by Sebastian Geerken Sept. 1, 2004

Sept. 1, 2004

Hi, the newest version of the rendering abstraction prototype (at <http://www.dillo.org/misc_files/dillo-0.8.3-pre-dw-redesign-3.tar.gz>) does not contain anything fundamentally new, but features an interesting application of the new design, a preview window. Just press the mouse button on the button in the lower right corner of the right viewport. Sebastian

[Dillo-dev]dillo rendering redesign version 2
by Sebastian Geerken Aug. 28, 2004

Aug. 28, 2004

Hi, a new version of the rendering abstraction prototype can be downloaded at <http://www.dillo.org/misc_files/dillo-0.8.3-pre-dw-redesign-2.tar.gz>. The new version adds images, which are in the Gtk+ version realized with GdkRGB, we'll have to see how this is done in FLTK. Sebastian

[Dillo-dev]Porting dillo to another UI toolkit
by Sebastian Geerken Aug. 25, 2004

Aug. 25, 2004

Hi, I intended to post this a bit later, not before some usable code is available, but I changed my opinion, it may be useful to outline, how porting will happen. The most complex part is certainly Dw, since it is tightly bound to Gtk+. By all means, I want to prevent, that there exist different versions of Dw, with different features (e.g., when the development of the Gtk+ version continues, while the FLTK version is developed), which are hard to integrate. For this reason (and others), I'm currently working on a redesign of Dw, which will make Dw toolkit independant. This is not the single goal of this redesign, it will also make some other features possible, e.g. a preview window, in which the whole page may be seen with reduced size, also, it will make reusage of Dw within graphical plugins possibel, and some more. (Actually, the idea for this design is already older, except the platform independency, but this was simple to add.) I'll soon (within a week or so) post the first usable version of it, which will only include a small program to test Dw, not dillo itself, the integration into dillo will be done later. However, it will already make it possible to start with the porting work. A documentation, which changes should remain small, is already attached. As for the actual port, the following steps should be done: 1. Realize the test program, but for another UI toolkit. This will still have to include Gtk+, because of the Gtk+ object model, but the new toolkit should be in control over the event processing. (Furthermore, GLib will, in this phase, still be needed.) What is needed for this step: (i) an implementation of DwRenderPlatform and DwRenderView, and (ii) ports of the modules Dw_style and Dw_tooltip. These will perhaps also be abstracted, see DwRender.txt for details. The rest should not be touched, if this should become necessary, this is a bug. The changes in Dw_style and Dw_tooltip should not be too hard, and these modules will not change much in the near future, so this simple approach for porting is reasonable in this case. The experiences made on this should be interesting, if the design of Dw_style and Dw_tooltip should be enhanced, as described as an idea in the attached document. 2. The second step (regarding Dw) should be to get rid of Gtk+ and GLib. Since a port to FLTK is planned, it makes sense to port the C code to C++, this would also make the code cleaner, since dealing with classes and interfaces in C (with the Gtk+ model) is quite fiddly. Details of this step have still to be clarified, but the features, GLib and Gtk+ provides, should be relatively easily replaced. Notice also, that I plan to make an own library of Dw (at least the core of it), most of it has already been finished, but the release has been delayed, because I assign a greater priority to the dillo project. For the rest of the port, I do not have any plans, but AFAIS, I see far less problems as for Dw. Sebastian

[Dillo-dev]why must FLTK?
by Calvin Yu Aug. 20, 2004

Aug. 20, 2004

hello everyone: In order to support double-byte characters, we must port GUI from gtk+1.2 to others, right? The FAQ tells me that the developers are planning to port GUI to FLTK. Who is so kind to tell me any alternatives? I hear FLTK is very complex and not stable. By the way, has anyone taken gtk+-directfb into account? I complied it and ran some example applications. It looked pretty. If we port GUI to gtk+-directfb, we don't need X server any more. It would save a lot of resources. Futhermore, the work will be much less because of similar APIs between gtk-1.2 and gtk-2.x. Best Regards From Calvin Yu

[Dillo-dev]contrast_visited_color
by Jorge Arellano Cid Aug. 16, 2004

Aug. 16, 2004

Hi there, I've been playing with this patch for enough time to start to like its effects. It changes the old 'force_visited_color' dillorc option with 'contrast_visited_color' (featuring a new algorithm). This allows Dillo to choose the visited link color, in such a way that it makes good contrast with the rest of the page. Please update your dillorc with the new option, test it, and say how it works for you. A suggestion: http://www.paulgraham.com (any link). -- Cheers Jorge.-
