Currently dillo DoS'es the server if it tries opening a page with hundreds of images. (It causes the server to exceed the thread limit, which stalls everything :|). I hope they'll do something on their end as well :). > > This will probably get into the feature request queue for dillo-2.2. >

dillo-2.1.tar.bz2

by jcid＠dillo.org

Hi there, We're approaching quickly to the release of dillo-2.1 ! :) The idea is to make the official announcement this Thursday 18 (June) I've uploaded the source tarball: http://www.dillo.org/download/ We need the main .deb and .rpm before Thursday (e.g. Ubuntu & Debian current, same for the most used Fedora). Would you mind Andreas, Kelson? Any comments, confirmation of OK-ness, tests or last minute touches, this is the moment. TIA. -- Cheers Jorge.-

I assume that apache has a way on the server side and that more or less has made of it a smaller problem. What http server are you using? This will probably get into the feature request queue for dillo-2.2. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Is there a > way to limit the number of connections made? I really wish there were. Dillo should be a good citizen. (Well, there's always the 'solution' of turning off automatic image loading :)

Limiting number connections made to server

by dennisn＠dennisn.dyndns.org

Currently, I don't think dillo places any kind of regulation on the number of connections it tries to make with an http server, and this causes bad things to happen with some -- ie. if it tries to open a page with hundreds of thumbnails, it can crash some http servers. Is there a way to limit the number of connections made?

Johannes, Corvid, I'll be out of town this weekend, please attend any problem on the repo. as it's rc1. The idea is to make a release next week. On the pending things that you may like to advance: - write the dillo-2.1 about:splash page - check making packages - polish FAQ and help text -- Cheers Jorge.-
