It's been a long long time I haven't had a laugh so good as this situation produced me! ! ! :-) ! ! Ah, life is incredible, even in the software world! This happened: as I needed a short dialog for testing the 'chat' capabilities of the dpi framework, I decided this funny one: Dillo: Hi server bm_srv: Hi browser Dillo: I want to set a bookmark bm_srv: Is it worth? Dillo: Sure it is! bm_srv: Ok, send it Because of a uninitialized character string bug, and some downright uncanny forces of our universe it happened to stop just at that point for you! ;) (some other reports show a direct crash or no problem at all!) Believe it or not, that short dialog takes place everytime you add a bookmark! It is there to show how to exchange information between the browser and the dpi program. Just get 0.7.1.2 and I'll pray it not to happen again! :-) Cheers Jorge.-

With the compression algorithms incorporated in modem transfers, the is probably very little difference in transfer time. The bz2 files are more tightly compressed and would allow for less compression during transfer versus the opposite condition for gzipped files.

0.7.1.2

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! After a failed attempt (0.7.1.1), the correct fix was released today (0.7.1.2). Once again, please upgrade, and I hope this is the final fix for the 0.7.0 problems. Cheers Jorge.-

Re: [Dillo-dev] How to use dicache?

by Livio Baldini Soares

Hi guys, Let me clarify a little bit about what the dicache is. This is how Dillo works. When you ask for a URL (be it a root URL, like a HTML, or an image embedded in a page), it looks it up in a _memory_ cache. If it's already there it returns the content of the cache, and if not it makes a connection to retrieve that URL. But there is a complication with respect to images. The images which are downloaded need to be decompressed to be displayed (that is, transformed from their original format, jpeg, gif, etc, to a bitmap format). So for images, first the dicache (_d_ecompressed _i_mage cache) is checked, then the cache, then finally it is retrieved from the site. The problem with dicache is that it eats up a *LOT* of memory, and the only benefit is the processing time of transforming from the original format to the bitmap. That's why the default is NO.

I then went into Dillo (0.7.1) and went to Google. (I'm on a 33.6K modem connection so I can see the time it takes to load the Google logo). Then I went out of Dillo and back in again to the Google home page. The Google logo took just as long to draw as the first time. I thought that the dicache setting would keep the images in a cache. Obviously I don't understand how this is supposed to work. Humm... I wonder how you got to that impression. Are the docs fuzzy anywhere abou this issue? We can try to clear it up. Anyway, as I explained dicache is a _memory_ cache. It never gets persisted, so when you leave Dillo, it's all gone. > I thought that dillo doesn't have a persistant cache - I thought that the > understanding was that if you want a cache, then you can install one yourself, > like squid. > Squid would probably be the best way to do this, I will be installing it soon > (when ever I work out how on earch the configuration works!). Exactly. Beware though that there are simpler web caches then Dillo, I forget their names right now... 'wwwoffle' is a famous one I think, but there are others. Google around. There is some nice information that comes with Dillo with respect to caches and dicaches. Read dillo/doc/Cache.txt and dillo/doc/Images.txt. regards, -- Livio <livio(a)ime.usp.br>

The dicache is the decompressed image cache. It avoids decoding the image every time it is rendered as it caches the RGB. You may read doc/Cache.txt Cheers Jorge.-

Squid would probably be the best way to do this, I will be installing it soon (when ever I work out how on earch the configuration works!). But, that dicache thing is interesting (I am not a Dillo developer...)
