Dillo FLTK CVS

by Alan Carvalho de Assis

Hi people, I am new in this list and I have a silly question. I want to compile dillo with no GTK libs. I already compiled kdrive and fltk with uClibc, now I just need to compile dillo. My problem is where to find the dillo fltk tree, I download the default CVS tree (dillo module), but it is not fully fltk, just the download.cc use fltk. I search at mail list and google, but don't find anything. Where can I download the dillo fltk source code? I know it is in development, but it is not problem. Thank you, -- ------------------------------------------------------------ | Alan Carvalho de Assis | ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Não importa o que os outros irão pensar, A cura para a infelicidade é a felicidade

Opening new URL in same instance and -s option

by Rainer M Krug

Hi I have two questions first: I would like to be able to have only one instance of dillo open and when I try to open a new url (from outside dillo), that this url is opened in the old instance. Is this possible, and if yes, how? second: I have seen emails concerning running dillo in server mode (dillo -s server). I tried it, but dillo didn't know -s. Is this feature imp[lemented, and if yes, how can I access it? Thanks a lot for a brilliant lightning fast browser, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys.

That's kind of what I did. Actually, I just removed the code that had to do with static buffers entirely (while still allowing for a Content-length check). If the GTK branch weren't pretty well deprecated, I'd go ahead and do it right: Add a boolean to the "entry" structure to indicate a fully allocated buffer and complete the allocation (where reasonable) at dispatch time.

OK, a good workaround is to check for huge filesizes while parsing the header and to set as if no Content-length was given in that case. This is simple and will work. (My FLTK2 source uses automatic buffers from a new library I made that also replaces glib). -- Cheers Jorge.-

Serious Memory Allocation Strategy Problem in Cache_parse_header()

by R.L. Horn

I'm currently in the process of modifying dillo for use in browsing an http media server (yeah, I know it's httpd abuse, but it's only for a local network and I was running Apache anyhow). At present, this basically involves sending a modified downloads plugin an "execute" command and the MIME type when AbortEntry is true in Cache_process_queue() (the plugin then executes an agent which deals with the URL entirely independent of dillo). (Actually, this is functionality that would be nice in the main branch, albeit with its own plugin and user-selectivity. If there's interest, please let me know.) So far, so good -- it seems to work passably well and it only took a couple of hours. Easy peasey. Unfortunately, the first time I click on a 700M video stream, things go horribly wrong. Seems that Cache_parse_header() attempts to allocate memory for the entire content *before* the header has been checked for viewability (since the dispatcher isn't called until Cache_process_queue()). As it happens, this has been reported as bug 726. The upshot of all this is that when you click on a link, there had better be room for the whole thing in heap even though the content may never be read. Otherwise, glib just gives up and dumps core via g_malloc(). I think I can get around this by doing a Content-Type check in Cache_parse_header(). I'd be happy to provide a patch provided I can come up with a reasonably elegant solution. Any advice would be appreciated.

Some companies want to have an advantage to justify investment (as a six month window for instance), some others not. This may be the case. Companies looking to reduce costs, just take whatever is there and don't give back. BTW, this happened most of the time with the GTK1 branch of Dillo. FWIW, our idea has always been to have a Free SW Dillo with a view to accomplish its goals. If we had aimed for selling Dillo as propietary SW, it would have happened already. > I'm one of the people waiting for the FLTK thing to show up before I > look whether I'm able and willing to contribute to Dillo.

How much time are you willing to contribute to development? -- Cheers Jorge.-

I'm one of the people waiting for the FLTK thing to show up before I look whether I'm able and willing to contribute to Dillo.
