tab and frames in webmail

by �޽��

hi, Frank de Lange: I apply you dillo tab frame patch,and it seem very cool. But when I go to the www.163.com and www.163.net, I found I can't go into my mailbox.It only says that "This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them."And the statusbar shows "Contacting host", for ever. In windows IE I can see the soursecode of that page as following: <html><head> <title>网易邮件系统</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312"> </head> <frameset frameborder=NO rows=80,* border=0 framespacing=0> <frame name="2" src="/newtop.htm" target=contents scrolling=NO marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=NO > <frameset border=0 cols=160,* framespacing=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 frameborder=NO> <frame name="folder" src="/cgi/ldapapp?funcid=simplefdr&sid=DBTpkvElTAQAKUwf" target=rtop marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=NO scrolling=yes>  <frame name="main" src="/cgi/ldapapp?funcid=foldmain&sid=DBTpkvElTAQAKUwf" target=rbottom marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=AUTO frameborder=NO> </frameset> </frameset> <noframes> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p> </body></noframes> </html> What's wrong? best reguards 　　　　　　　　Jewen_Luo(a)163.com 　　　　　　　　　　2003-08-27

CinePaint and Windows port

by Robin Rowe

Hi. I'm the project leader for CinePaint, an open source paint program used mainly by the motion picture industry. Our code was branched from GIMP in 1998. How would the Dillo project feel about Dillo being embedded in another application as a help browser? We're looking for a new help system browser and considering Dillo. We are impressed how compact your implementation is. We only need a limited set of HTML features: links, images, tables, bullet lists, number lists, headings, ordinary text, bold, and italic. In these features we need the browser to be absolutely stable. Any issues there? We support all platforms, including Windows. One of the first things I would intend to do is port Dillo to Windows. I saw in your archives that you had made some effort in that direction, but it seemed to peter out. What are the problems? Thanks!

On-line demonstration against software patents in Europe

by Frank de Lange

Hi'all, As you might know, the European Parliament will vote on software patents in the EU on the 1st of september 2003. I have added a notice to my patch page (http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank) about this. Maybe the main Dillo page can do the same? For more info on this issue, go to http://swpat.ffii.org Cheers//Frank -- WWWWW ________________________ ## o o\ / Frank de Lange \ }# \| / +46-734352015 \ \ `--| _/ <Hacker for Hire> \ `---' \ +31-640037120 / \ frank(a)unternet.org / `------------------------' [ "Omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est." ]

Frameset & lanlaw.org

by Frank de Lange

I just noticed that my current version of the tab+frame patch still has problems with sites like lamlaw.com, which put body content outside of frameset content. Even though this is against the spec, I've changed my current version of the patch so it displays the right (frameset) content for sites like this. BTW, lamlaw.com is really weird... The sequence of tags is html - head - frameset - /frameset - noframes - /head - body - /body - /noframes - /frameset - /html. So, it has frameset inside head (wrong), /head inside noframes, an extra /frameset, etc. The document claims to be html-4.0-transitional. Sure.

New dpid patch

by Ferdi Franceschini

There is a new dpid patch for dillo-0.8-pre available from http://www.geocities.com/ferdif2003/ Plugins are now stored in a directory structure under libdir/dillo/dpi. You need to put dpi_dir=/usr/local/lib/dillo/dpi in ~/.dillo/dpidrc so that dpid can find the plugins, there should be no other entries in this file. Dpid now uses a .filter suffix in the plugin name to identify plugins which read and write to stdio (eg hello.filter.dpi). The following changes affect the CVS repository: Renamed dpiddir.[ch] to dpi_socket_dir.[ch] New files dpi_service.[ch] Cheers, Ferdi

It works great on OpenBSD/i386 and OpenBSD/sparc, all OpenBSD -current (3.4-beta atm). there are two small problems: -if you specify a small reload time, and by that time is over before the page is actually loaded -> coredump -on sparc, using the "void" input drivers for keyboard and mouse -> coredump that must be the visibility check? both issues are unfortunaltely pretty much showstoppers in my application :-((

A periodiciy of 0 will > stop reloading. For that, I need to take a look on the browser history/cache, too. Don't worry, I can do that easily (I know pretty well the cache). I'd prefer you to focus on the dpi part. I mean, this dpi will end asking dillo to do the job. For instance: <dpi cmd='set_reload_URL' url='...' always='true'> > > - add a "-r, --reload-every" command line option that calls that function. > In fact, when I finish implementing the "(remote-)command" option, it would be > something like: "-c open(URL, refresh=60)" (that is if I finally decide that > supporting commands with more than one argument is worth the work). Hmmm, I think a simple cli switch to tell dillo to listen to the reloads.dpi is enough: dillo -reloads (or something like it) Then, the client communicates with the dpi socket. All this API is what needs to be designed. I'd appreciate you to work on this part. > > > The first duty is to define what is required for a good, > > > general purpose, kind of reloading dpi.

For instance: fprintf(reloads_dpi_socket, "push http://localhost/someurl visible\n"); may be all the client program needs to know. Of course it could also be something like: fprintf(reloads_dpi_socket, "<dpi cmd='reloads' url='http://localhost/someurl' visible>" * The first example makes more clear that it goes trough reloads.dpi who parses it and then sends a dpip tag to dillo to request the job done. This may also be handy: "<dpi cmd='reloads' url='http://localhost/someurl' stop>" Note that it may be good to integrate the remote control functionality into the same dpi (and maybe call it remote.dpi?). This means adding a simple and useful API for help programs to use. For instance to let them push new URLs into the same instance of dillo (and not having to start a new dillo per requested page). Ex: The client app. asks the remote control dpi whether there's a running instance of dillo. YES -> send new to-be-pushed URL NO -> start "dillo -rc" (remote control) send new to-be-pushed URL Please polish along these lines. Cheers Jorge.-
