[patch]: consistent screaming quotes

by onepoint＠starurchin.org

A small cleanup. I noticed the ugly unbalanced quotes in the '>>> a_Nav_repush <<<<' message so I did a quick grep and fixed all similar messages to have the same formatting. (I am still thinking about the "parse missing attribute close quotes like Firefox" patch, but it's taking me a little while to get familiar with html.cc again.) Regards, Jeremy Henty

Another (native) Dillo-Win32 patch

by obeythepenguin＠gmail.com

All right, I have it running on Windows 95! Screenshots: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/screenshots/dillo-win95.png http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/screenshots/dillo-wikipedia-win95.png It's still a little glitchy (FLTK issues, not Dillo per se), but now Dillo can truly run on any Windows system, for all practical purposes. [Of course, if you can prove people still use Win3.11...] Here's the latest patch: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/files/dillo-r1698-win32-20100902.diff I've also got a full installer up on the SourceForge page, if anyone has a Windows machine and wants to take it for a spin. I've been using it quite a bit myself the last few days, including three straight hours the other night. As long as you don't need DPI, it's quite usable. Speaking of which... there's going to be a few complications, mainly because on Windows, file and socket handles are NOT interchangable. DPI seems to rely heavily on dup2(), for which there's no direct Windows equivalent. I've written up a full description of the problem here: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/dpi.html This is where I'm going to need your expert advice. Jorge, if you have the time, I'd especially like to hear your opinion -- I know you're quite busy, and not a personal fan of the Windows platform, but I feel a well-executed port would ultimately help the project far more than it would hurt anything. Thanks again & cheers, ~Benjamin

[Patch] Work around lazy loading images

by obeythepenguin＠gmail.com

Another patch, this time not Win32-related. This works around the annoying "lazy loading" technique, which sets src to a placeholder image then uses JavaScript to fetch the real images after the pages load. Here's the diff: http://pastebin.com/wyP32Ukj (sorry it's not hg diff; I don't have access from school) I know Dillo aims to strictly follow standards, but I don't think it's a standards violation per se, so much as a trick too clever for its own good. I personally feel this helps the democratization of information access more than it hurts standards compliance, since otherwise the information might not be available until/unless Dillo implements JavaScript support. You may, of course, disagree... Cheers, ~Benjamin

By the way, I don't know if this patch is/will be quite good enough to merge in, but should this happen -- I think Johannes expressed some interest -- I'll happily maintain it. I can do Windows binary releases and support on the SourceForge site so it's not bothering anyone in main line. Cheers, ~Benjamin

Once again you've hit it dead-on before I can even fire up the debugger. Do you have psychic powers or something, or are you just that good? :-) My solution is to have dsock keep a count of active sockets, and rather than repush immediately, start a background loop that waits for all sockets to close before repushing. It seems to work fine on Unix with the regular iowatch mechanism, but I haven't tested that extensively, so if there's problems it could be #ifdef'd for just the timeout mechanism kludge. A few other changes: file paths are now correctly handled on Windows; disabled unnecessary pthreads check in ./configure; gzip compression is re-enabled; and possibly a couple other things I've already forgotten. The latest patch: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/files/dillo-r1698-win32-20100831.diff And an updated build is available from the usual place: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/ Assuming I didn't make too many more stupid mistakes, DPI sounds like the logical next step. Anything in particular I should watch out for there?
