[RFC] external Dillo splash screen

by Frank de Lange

Hi'all, I've removed the Dillo splash screen from src/IO/about.c, and added a new preference 'splash_url' (currently set to '/usr/lib/dillo/dillo.html' by default, this can change). The contents of that file are identical to the current splash screen. I've also added a new pref 'show_splash', which - you guessed it - can be used to suppress the splash screen. Set it to NO, and Dillo will come up with a blank window instead. Dillo is now ca. 11 KB smaller than before. The splash screen loads just as fast. The splash screen can be distributed with Dillo just like the dpi's are. Should it be missing, all that'll happen is that Dillo will complain about not finding the file. No breakage... Seems like an improvement to me.

Hi Stephen; That was **EXACTLY** the problem! I moved ~/.dillorc to be ~/.dillo/dillorc...Works fine now!

Well, the dillorc provided in the Dillo-tarball should recide in ~/.dillo/ - i.e. the path should be ~/.dillo/dillorc and NOT ~/.dillorc - Victor

The impression I get from the earlier posts is not that your proxy server is not resolving requests from Dillo, but that Dillo is not sending requests to the proxy server. As Thorben stated: > Dillo does not support those either, it needs the actual address and port > of the proxy. So if you use the IP address or a name listed in /etc/hosts, it sounds like it should work. (I've never used a proxy with Dillo, I'm just basing this on what I've read today.)

Dillo does not support those either, it needs the actual address and port of the proxy. as long as your dillo tries to dns resolve the host of the url you enter, it is for some reason NOT using a proxy at all. > Are you saying that dillo under a proxy expects the proxy server to do all > dns resolution?

Re: [Dillo-dev] dillo won't resolve URLs under a proxy environment?

by Ken Wolcott

Hi Thorben; Thank you for your response. Yes, I didn't make myself very clear unfortunately, and I realized that some time after having sent the email msg. I did a diff of the supplied dillorc and my ~/.dillorc. The only line that differed was the extra line (copied http_proxy) that I had enabled with the correct URL for the proxy. What I provided in the email was the line that diff'd after it had been "sanitized". I had an "Automatic proxy configuration URL" set up for mozilla originally which is different than a "Manual proxy configuration" (http://ip:port) syntax. I decided to change the way the proxy was configured in mozilla to the form needed by dillo. It works fine. Are you saying that dillo under a proxy expects the proxy server to do all dns resolution? If that's the case, then why is galeon, mozilla, konquorer, netscape and opera working correctly under the proxy where dillo does not? I'm using the same proxy for all the web browsers I just mentioned.
