I just thought that HTTP authentication looked rather "cookie-ish" and decided to copy and modify the cookies implementation. I'm new to this part of Dillo so I am following established practice. I already have a dummy auth dpi running and hooked into the main Dillo program, so I think that the dpi part of things is by far the easiest bit. The most work is actually implementing authentication! > Isn't an implementation of a_Dialog_user_passwd() enough to solve > it? It certainly appears to be the missing link, in the sense that everything else that authentication needs is the kind of thing that the cookies dpi already does and therefore counts as a solved problem already. I plan to continue with the dpi-based implementation on the grounds that the biggest part of the task is implementing authentication and a_Dialog_user_passwd(), and that code will not depend on whether we do authentication in the dillo main program or a dpi. If we decide to move authentication out of the dpi and into dillo itself then I will just move the authentication code around and delete some dpi wrapper code, which won't be much work. At least that's how I expect it will work. Stay tuned, and please comment further. Jeremy Henty

What system do you have? I'm thinking in the "inbuf_t" wrongly detected for a BSD flavour, that has a patch in CVS, and AFAIR hasn't been acknowledged to work yet. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Q: Thoughts on a user/password dialog for an HTTP AUTH dpi?

by onepoint＠starurchin.org

I'm implementing an HTTP AUTH dpi (based on the cookies dpi) and I'd appreciate comments on how I'm doing it. (Motivation: (a) I'm tired of the irony of having to use Firefox to log on to the FLTK Trac Wiki to update the Dillo page, (b) this will be a useful primer for hacking on the https dpi.) The problem is that the dpi must prompt the user for a username and password but src/dialog.cc only supports dialogs that present a choice of buttons. I think I'll have to add a_Dialog_user_passwd() to src/dialog.cc to create a modal dialog, return the clicked button and write the contents of the dialog entries into a struct. Then I can add a wrapper for it to src/dpiapi.c and hook it into a_Capi_ccc(). That will let the dpi query the user. Is this a good way to do it or is there a smarter way? All comments and advice are welcome. Regards, Jeremy Henty

The .mailcap should go in the same machine where alpine runs. -- Cheers Jorge.-

I did, and it didn't; but I may have the long line wrong, since it's formatted into two here.

RE: what dillo2 runs on.

by CHalbersma.12＠westminster-mo.edu

I've been able to get dillo2 to compile and run on a Damn Small Linux box. Obviously you need to compile fltk2 first but dillo2 seems to run although it does have some troubles. As soon as I find them I hope to be able to post a DSL package.
