Feature request

With other browsers, if I copy a URL that begins with www (i.e., no http://), I will get to the site; with some, I don't even need the www -- I can type simply "loc.gov" for instance, to be taken to the Library of Congress. This is a great help, not only with sites whose address one knows by heart, but also with email, in which people omit the front part(s) of sites routinely. It would be an especially welcome feature for those of us who keep Dillo set as our default browser. I have no idea how those other browsers do it, nor why Dillo does not.

I almost regret this because I liked the little squares best.

patch: http warnings
by place＠gobigwest.com 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

HTTP/1.1 has warning headers to tell you things like "110 Response is stale" or "214 Transformation applied". There should probably be some mechanism to actually notify the user properly -- nobody's ever going to notice an MSG_HTTP string. As was the case with the "100 Continue"s some time ago, I am not encountering genuine ones to test against. I just tested by letting it treat date headers as warnings...

select crash
by place＠gobigwest.com 08 Jan '08

dillo crashed on a form where an option didn't have a value (clicked on the Go button at the bottom of http://www.syllable-hardware.info/hardware.php?list.1 ) A glance at the spec suggested that what I wanted in that case was the contents of the tag. So... Trying the change below at least makes it not crash, but I don't know the code, so I'm not calling this a patch. diff -pur dillo2/src/html.cc dillo2-cur/src/html.cc --- dillo2/src/html.cc 2008-01-02 20:20:31.000000000 +0000 +++ dillo2-cur/src/html.cc 2008-01-08 01:30:08.000000000 +0000 @@ -3808,7 +3808,8 @@ static void Html_submit_form2(DilloHtml if (sel_res->isSelected(i)) { DilloHtmlOption *option = input->select->options->get (i); - Html_append_input(DataStr, input->name, option->value); + char *val = option->value ? option->value : option->content; + Html_append_input(DataStr, input->name, val); } } break;

[patch] segfault when closing window while it is loading

Happy new year! Below is a small patch to fix a crash that happens when I open a new window (e.g. with the middle mouse button) and close it immediately while it is still loading the page.

Re: Colspan and table percentages
by place＠gobigwest.com 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

I've noticed that sometimes people will make a table with two columns for the purpose of indenting their text, specifying only the width of the first column as some percentage. When they do this, dillo squishes everything to the right. Tiny example: <html><head><title></title></head><body> <table width=500 border=3> <tr> <td width="50%">Is explicitly 50%</td> <td>should be 50%</td> </tr> </table> </body></html>

hook up the limit_text_width pref
by place＠gobigwest.com 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

I'm not sure under what circumstances this pref. actually changes anything, but here it is anyway. (I didn't notice a difference when I enabled it in my old dillo either...)
