HTTP persistent connections / keep-alive

by eocene＠gmx.com

I have been experimenting with persistent connections for http, and wanted to see what your thoughts were. This has been working well enough for me: http://flpsed.org/hgweb/eocene_persistent_connections/ Why? To be a good internet citizen, tcp slow-start, etc. Johannes gave it a try and said it performed well. Initially I let FDs stick around even if I didn't immediately have new queries for them. When the server closed it, I'd get EPIPE on the write side and... I think it was ECONNRESET on the read side, send the OpEnd around ccc, and that worked all right and wasn't too messy. But then I wanted to handle the case where a FD sits idle and we try to reuse it and it fails. Sending the notifications around and getting everything back in a state where we could try again with a new connection was looking like it would be very messy. So I trimmed it all down so that, when we have our full reply, we reuse the FD if we already have something queued that can use it, and if not we just close the connection.

Floats are in the main repository

by sgeerken＠dillo.org

Hi! Finally, after a long time, floats have become stable enough to be merged into the main repository, and so become part of the next dillo release. There are still some bugs, which will hopefully be fixed soon. Notice that this does not include absolute positions, which are often used for page layouts; this is one of the next issues. Sebastian

Looks like it is a better replacement for Scroogle then DuckDuckGo. I think it should at least be added to the list of search engines along with ixquick.

It's rather too late for this release, but... Does anyone have any opinions about startpage.com?

Between this and the file path thing, I wonder whether irix doesn't like that va_list/va_copy/vsnprintf stuff in the dStr code in dlib/dlib.c.
