[bug]: CssParser::{nextToken, skipString}() skip an extra character.
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Nov. 16, 2010

Nov. 16, 2010

The CssParser class has an unfortunate interaction between nextToken() and skipString(): they are both eager to call getChar(). The result is that when skipString() succeeds it has already getChar()-ed the character immediately after the string to be skipped, but nextToken() insists on calling getChar() again. This means that the character after the skipped string is also skipped. This causes two bugs. Firstly, if there is a completely empty CSS comment, ie. '/**/', then the closing '*/' is ignored (because it has already been partly skipped over). This generally causes most or all of the style to be ignored as the parser searches for the end of the comment. You can see this in the wild[1]! Secondly, if a token starts immediately after a CSS comment, then its first character is lost. The attached example shows both bugs. The first bug stops the red style from being applied to the <p> element, and the second bug applies the blue style to the <i> element instead of the <li> element. The quick fix is for skipString() to call ungetChar() before returning successfully (patch attached). Luckily only nextToken() calls skipString(). Should I push this, or is there a better way to do it? [1] http://layscience.net/node/1120

Dillo-Win32 patches, split and ready to merge
by obeythepenguin＠gmail.com Nov. 14, 2010

Nov. 14, 2010

Here are the split Dillo-Win32 patches, ready to merge into the upstream tree: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/patches.html I've cleaned up the code somewhat, such as removing the ugly conditionals from dsock.h. This version no longer includes the infamous "timeout kludge"; however, it must be built against a patched FLTK2 library, as the upstream implementation is still very badly broken. (The necessary patch is available from the Dillo-Win32 SourceForge site.) These patches produce a working ./src/dillo.exe. DPI has not yet been ported, as I presently have neither the time nor interest to do so. I'll probably get a binary package and installer up sometime in the next few days for anyone who wants to play around with the latest and greatest. Let me know if I need to double-check anything. Cheers, ~Benjamin

Dillo confused by embedded NULL characters
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Oct. 26, 2010

http://makespace.org/ has some NULL characters in its header, which causes it to disappear in Dillo. Firefox and links have no problems. What's the fix? Regards, Jeremy Henty

Https remote certificate cannot be verified
by dennisn＠dennisn.dyndns.org Oct. 26, 2010

Oct. 26, 2010

The "The remote certificate cannot be verified (code 20)" dialog popup window, that presumably pops up when accessing an unverifiable https site, often pops up many times while loading a page -- probably a separate instance for each image? Can it not pop up only once? (per unverifiable https domain?) (And perhaps the current window title "Choice5" could be a bit more informative? And maybe there should be an option to save such certificates to avoid future warnings?)

major commit upcoming
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de Oct. 22, 2010

Hi, just a headsup, that I plan to commit some changes for the CSS on <HTML> element issue that involve quite a few files. Basically it is a minor API change for StyleEngine, but as StyleEngine is called from quite a few places, the patch is rather big. Please let me know in case this is inconvenient atm. Cheers, Johannes

Offtopic: big miners rescue
by vic＠smartqsys.com Oct. 19, 2010

Oct. 19, 2010

Indeed! Hi there, A few days have passed since the big miners rescue finished as a complete success. Locally, we chileans, followed the events since the beginning, and specially moved since a small paper note emerged to earth level saying they were all alive. These days I've realized the press coverage was humongous. It's said that a thousand million saw a part of the rescue around the world. It's one of those few moments a lifetime gifts our souls with, where events, so powerful an real as these, make us look inwards and see the real value of things, instead of the things we usually entertain ourselves in. -- Cheers Jorge.- ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Dillo-dev mailing list Dillo-dev(a)dillo.org http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dillo-dev End of Dillo-dev Digest, Vol 62, Issue 14 *****************************************

[bug]: CSS sets insanely huge vertical extent
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Oct. 17, 2010

Oct. 17, 2010

This small bit of HTML (attached) renders with an enormous vertical extent in Dillo - I have to hold down the mouse in the lower half of the scrollbar for several seconds before the slider moves even one pixel! Strangely, if you take out the "<span>"s then the vertical extent is *much* smaller, although still far too large. What's going on? Regards, Jeremy Henty
