A warning about HTTPS and proxies

by corvid＠lavabit.com

In the dillo 2.0 dillorc, I had written that HTTPS uses wget, and that configuring wget to use a proxy would therefore send https traffic through it. That's wrong; I was repeating outdated information. Right now, HTTPS will not use a proxy at all. I bring this to your attention in case it matters to those using Tor and the like. ------ In other news, have you noticed that the dillo website is particularly speedy now? Andreas turned on HTTP compression :)

I just thought that HTTP authentication looked rather "cookie-ish" and decided to copy and modify the cookies implementation. I'm new to this part of Dillo so I am following established practice. I already have a dummy auth dpi running and hooked into the main Dillo program, so I think that the dpi part of things is by far the easiest bit. The most work is actually implementing authentication! > Isn't an implementation of a_Dialog_user_passwd() enough to solve > it? It certainly appears to be the missing link, in the sense that everything else that authentication needs is the kind of thing that the cookies dpi already does and therefore counts as a solved problem already. I plan to continue with the dpi-based implementation on the grounds that the biggest part of the task is implementing authentication and a_Dialog_user_passwd(), and that code will not depend on whether we do authentication in the dillo main program or a dpi. If we decide to move authentication out of the dpi and into dillo itself then I will just move the authentication code around and delete some dpi wrapper code, which won't be much work. At least that's how I expect it will work. Stay tuned, and please comment further. Jeremy Henty

All comments > and advice are welcome. It looks OK. I wonder why a dpi is deemed necessary for this. Isn't an implementation of a_Dialog_user_passwd() enough to solve it? -- Cheers Jorge.-

What system do you have? I'm thinking in the "inbuf_t" wrongly detected for a BSD flavour, that has a patch in CVS, and AFAIR hasn't been acknowledged to work yet. -- Cheers Jorge.-
