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...)

I don't think it breaks standards any more than Opera's new small-screen rendering, which disregards most layout information in an effort to get everything to fit. Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

nowrap and prefs.limit_text_width

by Nicolas Kaiser

Hi there! I'm having a little problem with sites that excessively make use of "nowrap" tags, like <http://futurezone.orf.at> I toyed with limit_text_width (quote from dillorc: # Set this to YES, if you want to limit the word wrap width to the vieport # width (may be useful for iPAQ) limit_text_width=YES ), but I noticed that this option doesn't work as I would have expected, because it doesn't force wrapping here (nowrap). Now I think in the context of this dillorc remark, it might be a good idea to override 'nowrap' when limit_text_width is wanted. Am I cruelly breaking standards, or would that make sense? Please have a look at the above site with limit_text_width=YES, and then with the below patch. Thanks for your fantastic work, n. --- src/html.c.orig 2003-03-10 22:04:45.000000000 +0100 +++ src/html.c 2003-03-10 22:10:21.000000000 +0100 @@ -1398,7 +1398,7 @@ style_attrs = *old_style; if (!html->stack[html->stack_top].cell_text_align_set) style_attrs.text_align = text_align; - if (Html_get_attr(html, tag, tagsize, "nowrap")) + if ((Html_get_attr(html, tag, tagsize, "nowrap")) && (!prefs.limit_text_width)) style_attrs.nowrap = TRUE; else style_attrs.nowrap = FALSE;

Yes it was a typo bug I made while converting to g_strdup_printf. My fault... I updated the web site, CVS, tarball and download page. Please update your dillo again. Sorry Jorge.- PS: Most probably I'll announce it tomorrow on freshmeat...
