I personally lean toward not handling it if it's illegal in particular because it's so rarely encountered that I imagine we'll forget about it at some point and accidentally make it stop working. PS Speaking of embedded NULLs, we still need to make HTTPS queries with embedded NULLs work properly at some point. (Submit a form with a file input.) a_Dpip_build_cmd() is not built to handle that case.

Https remote certificate cannot be verified

I was sort of thinking about it once, but my concern was that not too many users would quite understand that they were now trusting something in perpetuity that they shouldn't necessarily. (Maybe making sure that the warning is alarming enough would suffice, though.)

I have yet to look at it in detail, but I think the problem is that strcspn() assumes that there are no NULLs in its argument apart from the terminating NULL so it may give the wrong result when there are embedded NULLs. The current logic assumes that the return value will be the index of one of the terminating characters or the index of the terminating NULL. But here it might be the index of an embedded NULL which is a case that the current code does not handle. I *suspect* that Dillo does the right thing more by accident than design. > I think the SGML declaration in section 20.1 of the 4.01 spec means > that NULLs are not legal. So we have a choice: do we treat embedded NULLs as undefined behaviour? If we decide "No, Dillo must handle embedded NULLs in the 'right' way" then we have to rewrite Html_write_raw() (and possibly a_Html_parse_entities() and Html_get_javascript_link() too) to not use strcspn(). Ouch! This seems to be a pretty rare case so maybe it is not worth the effort? Regards, Jeremy Henty

Https remote certificate cannot be verified

by dennisn＠dennisn.dyndns.org

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?)

I think the SGML declaration in section 20.1 of the 4.01 spec means that NULLs are not legal.

It's my local patches that are trying to parse quoted attributes like Firefox that are doing it. Very strange! However, if you go to http://makespace.org/ and then view the page source, the result is truncated, even in vanilla Dillo. Regards, Jeremy Henty

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

I can pull and push to the hg repo, but the web page is not updated. There's still this message: <cite> remote: Not trusting file /sfhome/groups/dillo/htdocs/css_compat/.hg/hgrc from untrusted user hofmann, group dillo remote: Not trusting file /auriga/sfhome/groups/dillo/htdocs/css_compat/.hg/hgrc from untrusted user hofmann, group dillo </cite> I have: [paths] default = ssh://dillo.org//sfhome/groups/dillo/htdocs/css_compat [trusted] users = hofmann as local .hg/hgrc -- Cheers Jorge.-
