DNS code changes

Could you please leave the configure option " --disable-threaded-dns" in the code since I use that for my DOS version? I cannot use dpi. Georg

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, all. I'm trying to install Dillo v.3.0.2 from source on OS X 10.6.8 & after successfuly installing fltk-1.3.0 into /usr/local & running configure & make I get this error: `ld: duplicate symbol Fl_Printer::class_id in /usr/local/lib/libfltk.a(Fl_Printer.o) and ../dw/libDw-fltk.a(libDw_fltk_a-fltkplatform.o) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [dillo] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2` I've tried Googling it (this is where I got the email address for this list.

Ok good. I just committed it as it no longer has the drawbacks of the initial patch I sent. Cheers, Johannes

I just re-read the patch, this time from HG, and it looks clean. The pipe trick is very well tested within dpi so it should work as well as it looks. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Ok, attached is another approach that avoids the Fl::lock() and instead uses a Fl::add_fd() which is already used in src/IO. Let me know what you think. Cheers, Johannes

Well, I don't like the polling :-) There might be an increased power consumption related to the 5 times/s timer, but I'm not sure whether it really matters. > > The cost is using an FLTK mechanism (awake) which we don't in > the rest of the code. Yes, plus we need to switch on locking for all fltk just for the dns thing. That's the major drawback I think. > > It looks clean.

I still want to try other approaches that would avoid switching on the fltk threading stuff with the Fl::lock() call. Cheers, Johannes

Well dns resolving is delicate, but not sacred ;) AFAIS the main advantage would be a near 0.1 second speedup on average when displaying non dns-cached pages, (0.2 best case). Which is significative. Please let me know if there's another advantage I miss. The cost is using an FLTK mechanism (awake) which we don't in the rest of the code. It looks clean. It should be tested on different platforms/OS. BTW, dns.c has code for a blocking server (not threaded). Does this awake() call work OK when called from the same main thread? Is this by design or by chance? Maybe it would be safer to avoid calling awake() in this case. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Other protocol handler dpi for mailto etc

by dennisn＠dennisn.dyndns.org

What ever happened to the (idea of a) general protocol handler for mailto: and irc: and other such links? It was mentioned once upon a time, at least, in: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2004-November/002404.html

Hi, attached experimental patch replaces the polling for DNS answers with the wakeup mechanism fltk provides. What do you think? Cheers, Johannes
