Disable caching

Hi, although caching mostly is good, there is serveral occasions when it's not wanted, specially with todays web2.0-concepts (user generated pages, etc.). Is there a way to disable caching in dillo? Maybe only for some sites? I've searched the archives and found a patch doing this, it was however dated back in 2003. So I'm intrested in som up-to-date information. Regards iveqy

html.cc cleanups
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Aug. 25, 2010

Aug. 25, 2010

I have started looking at html.cc to think about the "parse quoted attributes like Firefox" patch, and here are some cleanups in the meantime. They remove two unused structs and make variable names consistent between function typedefs and function definitions. (NB: the third patch depends on the second to apply cleanly, although they are logically independent.) Regards, Jeremy Henty

Quoted attribute parsing: summary
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Aug. 18, 2010

Aug. 18, 2010

Prompted by some private conversation with corvid I've been digging through specs and source code to see what the state of play is. The HTML5 specification[1] states that the user agent should consume text, converting character references until it finds the matching close quote. If there is no matching close quote (ie. it sees an EOF first) then it terminates (strictly speaking, it switches to the data state and reconsumes the EOF, which makes it emit an EOF token). Taking out Dillo's bogus attribute value detection as I proposed would make Dillo parse quoted attribute values as per the HTML5 spec. The Hubbub HTML parser library[2] parses quoted attribute values as per the HTML5 spec. Firefox parses quoted attribute values as per the HTML5 spec *except* that if it sees an EOF then it backs up to the open quote, discards it, then reparses as though it was expecting an unquoted attribute value. Otherwise (ie. if it finds the matching close quote) it makes no attempt to detect a broken attribute value, no matter what content the attribute value has swallowed up. So it seems that the world at large has given up on trying to detect and correct broken attribute values.

[patch]: do not let '>' terminate a quoted attribute value
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Aug. 6, 2010

Aug. 6, 2010

If you point dillo at http://www.reddit.com/ you will see many javascript fragments. These come from div elements with an onclick="$(this).vote('<$>votehash</$>', null, event)" attribute. Dillo thinks that the '>' looks suspiciously like an end tag character. It looks ahead, sees the '<' character and decides that its suspicions are correct, so it terminates the tag at the '>', warns of a missing attribute close quote and renders the rest as HTML. This algorithm may have been effective in the early days of the web but I think it clearly does not work well today. I can't think of a better way of doing the job so I suggest removing it and instead just finding the matching close quote in all cases. Patch attached. After applying this patch dillo reports 0 HTML errors from http://www.reddit.com/! Regards, Jeremy Henty

[patch]: Capi_filters_allow(): improve the logging
by onepoint＠starurchin.org July 30, 2010

July 30, 2010

Another skirmish in my eternal war against uninformative log messages! :-) Patch attached. BTW, dillo's loging is quite a mischmasch of different formats. Would there be any interest in patches to make things more consistent: eg. by always having the function name at the beginning of MSG calls? That would help debugging, I think. Regards, Jeremy Henty

On startup, go to websites.

Is there a way with Dillo to go to websites on startup? ie. Open the following websites on start: dpi:/bm/ http://www.google.com http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=AKZ222 -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/

[patch]: fix VPATH builds
by onepoint＠starurchin.org July 26, 2010

July 26, 2010

Currently src/Makefile.am adds -I.. to some compile flags so that all the #include statements work. This breaks when the build directory is different from the source directory. The right thing to do is add -I$(srcdir)/.. . Patch attached (with an extra tidy-up patch as a bonus). Tested both when building in the source directory and outside it. Regards, Jeremy Henty

Can't copy/paste, only urls
by rogerx＠sdf.org July 24, 2010

July 24, 2010

I think this is already answered within the FAQ, but just in case it isn't, I seem not to be able to copy & paste into form input boxes. When I do try to "middle mouse button" copy/paste, my output goes into the url entry field of the browser instead of where I intended to paste a form input box. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
