experimental patch: Re: dillo2 wrapping Chinese
by corvid＠lavabit.com June 6, 2009

June 6, 2009

dillo people: It turns out that dillo handles Chinese quite badly because the text doesn't contain whitespace (BUG 827). It looks like Japanese is that way as well. 1) People using East Asian languages: Does this do roughly the right thing? I've read that there are picky rules about certain individual characters, but I just mean in general here. 2) Thoughts on optimization are welcomed. littlebat: For some reason, I was thinking that whitespace was required between words in dillo, but I misremembered. littlebat wrote: > Hi, > Thanks for the work on Dillo. > > I think it isn't a good idea to resolve long chinese line wrapping > problem by inserting space after punctuation mark("?" or "?" or "?", > etc..). > > Here is a "Dillo2 Wrap Long Chinese Line Test" page: > http://www.learndiary.com/en/dillo2-wrap-long-chinese-line-test.htm . > Open it with Firefox or IE, then open it with Dillo2, You will see the > different of wrapping long chinese line between them. > > Note, unlike english, there is no space between Chinese characters.

[patch]: fix dialog callback
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Jan. 2, 2009

Jan. 2, 2009

Dialog_user_password_cb() should not use VOIDP2INT, because the (void *) argument was originally an (int *), not an int or long. This bug makes the dialog always call its callback even when the user presses the Cancel button. As a result it is futile to cancel the Basic Authentication dialog: the page reloads and the dialog pops up again. Patch attached. Jeremy Henty

Well, in fact, images were always truncated when the repush caught them still rendering. I've been working on this for days and yes, it's a problem in the dicache. Unfortunately the cache/dicache/image-decode/image code is so entangled that it needs a rewrite. Quite surprising it works stable "as is". The idea is to try to devise a single path of execution that allows handling each image request (repeated or not) as a simple cache client. It's more complex than it sounds! The good news is that after you merge the latest cleanups in dillo main, the attached patch will more or less make it work as desired. There'll be some added unstability, and the underlying mess ;), but it should be a good basis to keep improving CSS while I work in the image process stream. -- Cheers Jorge.- _... o_.-"` `\ .--. _ `'-._.-'""-; _ .' \`_\_ {_.-a"a-} _ / \ _/ .-' '. {c-._o_.){\|` | (@`-._ / \{ ^ } \\ _/ `~\ '-._ /'. } \} .-. |>:< '-.__/ '._,} \_/ / ()) | >:< `'---. ____'-.|(`"` \ >:< \\_\\_\ | ; \ \\-{}-\/ \ \ '._\\' /) '. /( `-._ _____ _ _____ __.'\ \ / \ / \ / \ \ \ jgs _.'/^\'._.'/^\'._.'/^\'.__) \ ,==' `---` '---' '---' ) `"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""`

remove generate_submit pref?
by corvid＠lavabit.com Dec. 29, 2008

Dec. 29, 2008

Any objections to getting rid of it? dillorc: # Some forms lack a submit button, and dillo can generate a custom one # internally. Unfortunately there's no guarantee for it to work. :( # (my experience is that forms that lack a submit rely on Javascript) #generate_submit=NO

experimental patch: image error status as alt text
by corvid＠lavabit.com Dec. 28, 2008

Dec. 28, 2008

You know how for image redirections and 404s, nothing at all happens? User's mind: "I didn't get the image. Dillo must be broken." (or the address can't resolve, or content-type doesn't match...) So I tried making something recently that shows, e.g., [404] as the alt text. In this form it's probably wrong in a design sense because cache probably isn't allowed to call image, but maybe it'll prompt some discussion... (and maybe it'd be better to pull the status out of the header whenever needed rather than adding more junk to the cache entry.)

gmail access
by furaisanjin＠gmail.com Dec. 23, 2008

Dec. 23, 2008

Hi all. Now I figure out the way to access gmail but I realize that isn't sophisticated. Anyway what I have modified dillo after all is add "force reload link" feature. This is the step to access gmail 1. Goto gmail.com and login in. 2. You will see meta redirect page so just force reload the link on meta redirect link. However you won't go anywhere yet. 3. Goto mail.google.com/mail, then you find link to simple HTML page. If some of you are interested the patch, I will post. Regards, furaisanjin

If you would like one just to play with, well then: http://www.dillo.org/test/adblocker.patch (Blocking * pretty much suffices for me, so I might as well put it there as-is before I become dangerously bored with it.)
