HTTP persistent connections / keep-alive
by eocene＠gmx.com July 12, 2014

July 12, 2014

I have been experimenting with persistent connections for http, and wanted to see what your thoughts were. This has been working well enough for me: http://flpsed.org/hgweb/eocene_persistent_connections/ Why? To be a good internet citizen, tcp slow-start, etc. Johannes gave it a try and said it performed well. Initially I let FDs stick around even if I didn't immediately have new queries for them. When the server closed it, I'd get EPIPE on the write side and... I think it was ECONNRESET on the read side, send the OpEnd around ccc, and that worked all right and wasn't too messy. But then I wanted to handle the case where a FD sits idle and we try to reuse it and it fails. Sending the notifications around and getting everything back in a state where we could try again with a new connection was looking like it would be very messy. So I trimmed it all down so that, when we have our full reply, we reuse the FD if we already have something queued that can use it, and if not we just close the connection.

general uri handler
by dennisn＠dennisn.linuxd.org July 5, 2014

July 5, 2014

How are you guys handling non-builtin uris, like ed2k:, mailto:, magnet:, etc? I hacked a general purpose handler (that calls a shell script) from dpi/hello.c, but surely something this useful should ship with dillo? It seems that this has been a popular request for a long time :P... http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2004-October/002403.html

Dicache work
by jcid＠dillo.org June 25, 2014

June 25, 2014

Hi there, There're three new dicache patches in the repo. These have beeen tested/checked with valgrind and gcc's address sanitizer. Given the last memory usage reports, and a very necessary cleanup that was pending for a long time, this patch set tries to tackle the issue. There's also some decompressed image caching enabled (read the verbose changelog) that will make dillo feel faster. Please test and send feedback. BTW, I found ways to crash dillo without the patches and wonder whether some of you also experimented image-related crashes. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Experimental repository "dillo_grows"
by sgeerken＠dillo.org June 19, 2014

June 19, 2014

Hi! At <http://flpsed.org/hgweb/dillo_grows>, you'll find a version of dillo with some changes in how widget sizes are handled (GROWS stands for Grand Redesign Of Widget Sizes). There is also some doxygen documentation in doc/dw-grows.doc, or html/dw-grows.html. Work on floats is currently stalled since most recent bugs related to floats seem to result from problems addressed in GROWS. Sebastian

Reddit regression
by onepoint＠starurchin.org May 7, 2014

May 7, 2014

Things are progressing nicely (I have already abandoned two problem reports because they were fixed in the meantime) but there has been an unfortunate regression - a few days ago Reddit comment threads started thrashing the CPU. Example: http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/24rcf0/hourglass_a_new_simpler_tim… This is bad news for me as I follow a lot of subreddits. I hope it can be fixed soon. If there is anything I can do to help find the problem please say so. Regards, Jeremy Henty

character references, trailing ';', urls
by eocene＠gmx.com May 5, 2014

May 5, 2014

I was looking at how badly dillo handles something like: <a href="http://www.dillo.org?asdf&copy=3&micro=zxcv">link</a> It becomes a much more common problem with html5, which has a _lot_ more character references. I could perhaps stick an argument on the Html_parse_entity() in Html_get_attr2(), telling it to insist upon finding a ';'. If we still had cvs.auriga, I could dig through prehistory and try to see whether not demanding ';' termination was initially done with the strong belief that it was for the best overall (or maybe it was even inherited from gzilla), but we don't have cvs.auriga, and we don't have mailing list search working (not that that's generally very fun to dig through in any case). After all, maybe we should always insist upon proper termination.
