There's no special algorithm, as far as I know. Regards, ~Benjamin

Need something with some junk in it. :-/) How does it behave with more recent code?

No doubt the security concerns are real but we need a solution that is not so bad for usability. Does anyone know if other browsers take similar precautions, and what their algorithm is?

dillo_port1.3: ctrl-q randomly kills dillo and all tabs

by rogerx.oss＠gmail.com

I took a snapshot of dillo_port1.3 a week or so ago and have been finding on CTRL+Q randomly acts like ALT+Q (or kills the Dillo session with all open tabs). One way I've been able to reproduce this, loading several websites and letting them to load completely and then do CTRL+Q. (This bug doesn't present itself on simpler web pages such as google.com or a simple weather forecasting website. Need something with some junk in it. :-/)

Try adding this to your dillorc: filter_auto_requests=allow_all The default is not to allow automatic requests (such as redirects) unless they're from the same domain. Frankly I think this is a stupid default, because even though it's a little more secure, it also breaks most real world sites. Then again, there's probably a reason I'm not a Dillo dev...

Bug: dillo fails to follow the redirects and reach the webpage

Hi i setup my RSS feeder to use dillo, but i found that dillo cant open the request pages for many feeds... example: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phoronix/~3/TPVKpXMovJ8/vr.php Looks like dillo sees the first redirect, but dont really follow it to see the next redirect... yet i see it follow other redirects just fine... If i pick the redirect url and give it to dillo, it opens the page just fine. So i would say that dillo fails to follow 2 or more redirects. Thanks for dillo and for the help higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946
