[Dillo-dev]https, ssl & certificates
by robert w hall Jan. 18, 2005

Jan. 18, 2005

Where are we at and where are we going with the issue of https, ssl and certificates? I usually run with https enabled and find it is a VERY useful adjunct to the main program - it has quirky behaviour on sites such as playstation2-linux (where the answer is to log in via ssl then leave ssl), but at least it enables posting there. Other sites now accessible include amazon.co.uk and groups.yahoo.com - a significant gain. But the situation over certificates appears confusing: - as I (cursorily) read the code, it uses standard SSL functions to parse entries in the .dillo/certs directory. I have a block of certificates stolen from another browser but they don't seem to change the need to force by the 'remote certificate cannot be verified20' messages. (Are these imported certs in a non-standard format perhaps?) And the code also appears to have a function to store accepted certificates, but I've never been aware of this happening. The code is reaching a level of maturity and acceptance where these remaining blemishes are puzzling 'us users'. Bob -- robert w hall

[Dillo-dev]Gtk2 port, GtkArg{Get,Set}Func
by Keenan Pepper Jan. 15, 2005

Jan. 15, 2005

Hi, I'm working on a Gtk2 port of Dillo to use on my Zaurus (with the GPE rom from OpenZaurus). Before everyone starts saying "That's stupid, Gtk2 is so bloated and slow, why would you want to do that?", let me say that right now I'm using the Gtk2 port of Dillo 0.6.6, which as you all know is ancient and renders html badly compared to newer versions of Dillo, but it's still the best and fastest browser I can get to work on GPE. So periodically I'll be asking "What does this thing do?"-type questions on this list as I try to make current Dillo compile and run with Gtk2. For now I just want to request that all the deprecated (GtkArgSetFunc) NULL and (GtkArgGetFunc) NULL casts be removed and changed to simply NULL as recommended here: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.2/gtk/gtk-changes-1-2.html This has nothing to do with Gtk2, in fact eventually I should change all the GtkObject stuff to GObject stuff anyway, but when I first blindly tried to make it compile that was the error that came up the most, and it can and should be changed upstream. Cheers, Keenan Pepper

[Dillo-dev]why can dillo be small and fast
by Yu Zenghui Jan. 14, 2005

Jan. 14, 2005

Relative to other browsers, why can dillo be small and fast? Can anybody tell me the reason from the viewpoint of design and implementation. The code of dillo is fewer than other larger desktop browser. But fewer code means fewer functions. How to keep balance between the two conflicts? Thank you!

[Dillo-dev]cache replace
by Yu Zenghui Jan. 13, 2005

Jan. 13, 2005

hello all: it seems that dillo doesn't use cache replace algorithms. it simply inserts new entry into the hash table. then if the program runs for a long time, it will use more and more memories. doesn't it?

[Dillo-dev]what is the event for rendering
by Yu Zenghui Jan. 13, 2005

Jan. 13, 2005

i try to look for the function which is used to begin rendering, but i failed. who can tell me what the function is? if there is no such function, what event triggers the rendering? does dillo begin to render after the whole html document is parsed, or once after one element is parsed? thank you!

[Dillo-dev]How does CCC handle the parallelism of IO?
by uniharmony＠gmail.com Jan. 12, 2005

Jan. 12, 2005

In my opinion, the CCC is a dynamic doubly linked list with function pointers. And all the CCC functions in the chain are called serially. How does CCC handle the parallelism of IO? And Why do you consider it as "pseudo-thread"? I want to dive in it and thanks for reply.

Hi there, Please send your reports on testing 0.8.4-rc1 ASAP. I wish to release it by Tuesday if possible. Otherwise, it seems I'll have to make a security-fix-release first and then the official 0.8.4. So far rc1 has passed flawlessly the testing process. -- Cheers Jorge.-
