want to test some experimental cookies code?
by corvid＠lavabit.com Jan. 10, 2010

Jan. 10, 2010

In recent days, I've been making a version of cookies dpi that follows the current cookies draft of the http state working group. I haven't tested it exhaustively yet, but if anyone who uses cookies wants to try it and watch the msgs and so on, let me know. As for how much validity or meaningfulness this draft has, let's see... - They've made the decision to describe the way things currently behave, having learned from the bitter experience of others who made RFC 2109 and RFC 2965*. In 2010, no one has any way to be King of Cookies. They write testcases and try all of the major browsers and decide what they want to write down in their spec when there are differences. - On their mailing list, from the user agents, they have an opera guy, the curl guy, and someone related to firefox, although I didn't take any notice of whether he has a position of authority in firefox or not. - Of course there will be changes. Smallish, I think. A cookie set without an explicit domain goes only to that domain. A cookie with a domain attribute is sent to that domain and any subdomain. A .domain attr cookie can go to domain. As for how to decide to reject cookies for, e.g., .co.uk, I don't think they're ever going to say too much. A cookie can be set for any path, regardless of the url path of the page setting it. Paths are matched when selecting cookies to return, though. Path-matching does work by slashes instead of simple prefixes. An http page can set a secure cookie (just like currently). An example of the little things that may change are that a cookie that is just VALUE instead of NAME=VALUE is currently allowed, but it's not decided for good yet. There are corner cases such as this that maybe they could make illegal without rendering themselves irrelevant. * To be precise, the main author of the RFCs has written that it was at least initially reasonable to think that what they were putting together in rfc 2109 would be adopted by user agents.

Doctree changes
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de Jan. 7, 2010

Jan. 7, 2010

Hi, I just committed a modification of the Doctree class which is used for CSS matching. Before it was just an interface that was implemented by StyleEngine. Now it is a real class that is used by StyleEngine. I hope the new origanization makes things a bit clearer. It also avoids virtual method calls in the performance critical CSS matching path. To me it seems that complex pages render a bit faster now, but I did not make any proper measurements. Cheers, Johannes

Query on interfacing IMX27 keyboard with Dillo browser.
by rmarathe11＠gmail.com Jan. 7, 2010

Jan. 7, 2010

Hello, I am using Dillo as a browser on IMX27 system. (working with latest CVS LTIB code). I wanted to interface imx27 Keyboard with the browser so that the UP/DOWN/etc. keys work on the browser pages. I have been using this with Touchscreen and I wanted to know if the Keyboard can be interfaced too. Presently, I saw that on any Linux installation with Dillo on it, only mouse works as mouse can be moved from one link to other link. But keyboard was not working. I would want to make the Keyboard UP/DOWN arrows take me up and down the links on a page in the Dillo browser. Is it possible to do this ? regards, Rajesh Marathe.

table/cursor oddity
by corvid＠lavabit.com Jan. 5, 2010

Jan. 5, 2010

A little bug that I just stumbled upon. <table border=1> <tr><td style="cursor:help">one<td style="cursor:wait">two<td>three <tr><td colspan=3>row </table> The style of the first td seems to be the style of the whole table. (I wasn't surprised that the text has the default cursor, since I know there's that weirdness with wordStyle and regular style. Speaking of which, is it spelled out anywhere what is going on with that exactly? I know there have been times when I've been in the area of the table code and some reason why it's necessary has become clear, but I don't think I've ever had the whole shape of the matter in my head.) Hmm. I just changed the first td to style="cursor:help; color:red", and it colored the first td correctly, and now the rest of the table shows the wait cursor. Interesting.

Javascript
by iveqy＠iveqy.com Jan. 5, 2010

Hi, I'm a big dillo fan and a fltk user. Dillo is the fastest browser I ever seens and I strongly like it (too bad fltk 1.3 isn't used but that I believe is to blame the fltk team for). Anyway, now that CSS is almost done, I wonder how the future for javascript support looks. The old discussions I found about this looks to be outdated with the CSS changes. I also found a patch to allow javascript in dillo, but that patch didn't seemed to use the dpi-interface. Would it be possible to use dpi to use the v8 enginge for dillo? -- Regards iveqy

patch: handle cookie time overflow
by corvid＠lavabit.com Jan. 2, 2010

Jan. 2, 2010

I saw a cookie with an expiration date of 2039, which is beyond the end of the universe for me, so it turned into 1903. So I made this, and it's working for me, but maybe you will know a nicer calculation, or a portability subtlety that I should handle.

patch: .domain cookies from/to domain
by corvid＠lavabit.com Jan. 2, 2010

Jan. 2, 2010

Like the patch says, /* * Technically, cookies set with a domain of .example.com cannot be sent * back to the host example.com, even if example.com set them in the first * place. Do most user agents allow it? Yes. Does a large percentage of the * web require it in order to work at all? Yes. */ The downside might be the scenario of sub.example.com setting a cookie that example.com didn't expect to receive, but if everyone else does it... Unless someone tells me not to within the next few days, I'll commit something along the lines of this patch. PS I just committed a change today to fix up expiration/replacement of cookies, which was somewhat broken in general, and especially broken with respect to session cookies, so if anyone out there uses cookies much, please test!

[bug]: CSS - attack of the mega-images
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Jan. 1, 2010

Jan. 1, 2010

See http://blog.worldlabel.com/2009/inkscape-0-47-totally-solid-with-lots-of-ne… Dillo inflates the images in the top toolbar to the full width of the window. The problem is this CSS (taken from the original stylesheet and simplified) a { display:block; float:left; } a img { width:100%; height:100%; } I guess Dillo is interpreting 100% relative to the wrong length? Firefox renders the images at normal size. (Minimal example attached.) Regards, Jeremy

table/cell width problem
by corvid＠lavabit.com Dec. 29, 2009

Dec. 29, 2009

Also, I finally got around to looking into why the columns are strange on http://hg.dillo.org/dillo when I have remote style sheets enabled. Each row is a separate table, and the date and submitter fields have fixed widths specified in ems. That seems to work in general, but the problem is that the tables have width specified as 100%, which seems to make the table code forget about the column widths.
