Site doesn't render - just HTML code

Only me again :) Firefox, links and lynx render this page OK, but Dillo just shows the HTML code: http://www.afrowsoft.co.uk ? Nick -- Gosh that takes me back... or is it forward? That's the trouble with time travel, you never can tell." -- Doctor Who "Androids of Tara"

When I do set up a site for cookies, after I close Dillo I run 'dpidc stop' to get it to dump to file - but this time I ran 'dpid stop' several times... which does just the opposite!

Entry in cookiesrc locks Dillo up

Hi All, I frequent a Slackware Pi forum, and decided to get Dillo to remember my log-in details with cookies. The URL is (in my bookmarks file): http://forum.fatdog.eu/viewforum.php?f=30 If I add: forum.fatdog.eu ACCEPT in my cookiesrc file, then start Dillo, click on the above said link in bookmarks, Dillo locks up and the only way out is to kill it from the command line. Any ideas on this? Or am I being stupid? Nick -- Gosh that takes me back... or is it forward? That's the trouble with time travel, you never can tell." -- Doctor Who "Androids of Tara"

At least it is something that has been changed in Dillo. Can we stop the library from such actions or to postpone it until it is really needed?

I think I found a build bug here. I was going to experiment and build Dillo without ssl supoort, but no matter what I do (make clean; autogen.sh; --disable-ssl etc. et al) the builds fails every time: src/IO/http.c:520: undefined reference to `a_Tls_connect' src/IO/http.c:950: undefined reference to `a_Tls_connect' Nick -- Gosh that takes me back... or is it forward?

This is a *wild* guess, but the dev versions have a different ssl library now. Perhaps it is trying to collect entropy when the programs starts? You would expect that to take longer immediately after a reboot. Crypto libraries have been known to do surprising things to gather entropy, such as reading /etc/passwd ! Regards Jeremy Henty

Maybe disk cache explains most of that. Are the two binaries on the same disk? Maybe one on an SSD system disk, and another in some home folder on a spinning disk? There could be lots of different things at play here. Are you rebuilding 3.0.5 in the same way, in the same parent folder? "First" means first after restart of the computer. I am not sure if later, after some other programs started the startup time is not again slow. You know, such things are pretty hard to track. But even after the "first" startup, the subjective impression is that the dev versions starts much slower than 3.0.5; But once started, they render (and generally browse) faster than 3.0.5. There is only one hard disk (not SSD) on the computer. The different Dillo versions are on the same hard disk. The v3.0.5 has been installed from the applications repository (Manjaro/Arc Linux). -- http://fresh.flatassembler.net http://asm32.info John Found <johnfound at asm32.info>

You blink and miss it. Well, no, I don't blink for 2..3 seconds. More like 300ms; :) The official Dillo 3.0.5 always starts instantly. I made some more tests and found that the "big wait" is actually the first time you start Dillo - there is an intensive hard disk activity (swap?) without any messages in the console. The next times, Dillo starts faster, but still noticeable slower than v 3.0.5 v3.0.5 always starts instantly, at least I can't see any delay or difference between the first start and the next. > > > Is such slow startup time side effect of some changes that will be > > fixed some day, or it is kind of compromise, because of other > > improvements and this way will persists in the project from now on? > > > > Or (what is pretty possible) I messed something with the compilation? > > What ./configure line do you use, and what install options?
