Towards 3.2.0
by Rodrigo Arias Dec. 19, 2024

Dec. 19, 2024

Hi, I'm planning to close the feature window shortly, so I will need to think what else to include for 3.2.0 before it is closed. One of the features I would like to include is the ability to open a link with an external handler. We have a proof of concept that uses the rule file, but I think it is too complex for now: https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/pull/199 I'm thinking it may be better to add an easier variant first, that we can extend later. I'm considering adding these to dillorc: actions="default Open with external tool" actions="firefox Open with Firefox" actions="mpv Open with MPV" actions="mpv-audio Open with MPV (audio)" handler="/bin/the-handler" Where you can define multiple "actions" but only one "handler". The actions have a label at the beginning (first word) and a human readable text that will be presented in the menu. Then, your handler will be invoked using the label as: /bin/the-handler <URL> <action-label> And you do whatever you find convenient in your handler, so you have more context to decide the proper action based on the label. I think this would cover most of the use cases of opening URLs with other programs without being too convoluted. Best, Rodrigo.

[PATCH] make downloads.dpi use http_user_agent from dillorc
by a1ex＠dismail.de Dec. 10, 2024

Dec. 10, 2024

Hi, Here is a patch which allows wget called from downloads.dpi to use the user agent provided in dillorc, and fallback to the hardcoded Dillo/version agent if not defined.

XSLT
by Schimon Jehudah Nov. 14, 2024

Nov. 14, 2024

Good day, everyone! I would want to know of an example or an elaboration as of how would it be possible to wriite a plugin which would parse XSLT. I want to know how to trigger Dillo to engage such type of a plugin. P.S. Did anyone examine my XMPP plugin for Dillo, yet? Kind regards, Schimon

XMPP PubSub Plugin
by Schimon Jehudah Nov. 9, 2024

Nov. 9, 2024

Good day, to one and all! My name is Schimon, I am a pianist, attorney at law, and I also work on software that mainly involve the technologies of Syndication and XMPP. My current intention, is to design an XMPP client, based on Slixmpp, to allow Dillo to interact with Atom Over XMPP (XEP-0277 and XEP-0472). Atom Over XMPP specifies storage of textual content (be it text or HTML) on XMPP PubSub nodes. It is useful for publishing (see Libervia, Movim, Rivista XJP), annotating resources (see Blasta) and for any sort of mean which may require textual content. References: https://blasta.woodpeckersnest.eu/help/about/xmpp/atomsub https://blasta.woodpeckersnest.eu/help/about/xmpp/pubsub Projects: https://schapps.woodpeckersnest.eu/blasta/ https://schapps.woodpeckersnest.eu/rivista/ I intend to utilize the Python computer language for this task. Any help, encouragement, and especially accompanying (not in the musical sense) my efforts be welcome. This is my first time which I intend to collaborate with Dillo developers, and I am excited by this opportunity. Kind regards, Schimon

Testing without Dillo
by Schimon Jehudah Nov. 8, 2024

Nov. 8, 2024

Greetings! Is it possible to run Dillo plugins without installing them? I ask for two reasons: 1) Ease of development. 2) I fail to activate plugins. ** ERROR **: [Dpi_read_comm_keys] No such file or directory Dpi_blocking_start_dpid: try 1 [dpid]: a_Misc_mksecret: 1j91dh5 dpid started Dpi_get_server_port: can't read server port from dpid. Dillo: normal exit! Regards, Schimon
