My new dillo was talking to my old dpi; the command did not have the terminating [sp]'>, so was never recognised. Whatever my new dpis were doing, it wasn't "being installed and used". I'm not sure how it got into that state, but "rm -rf /usr/local/lib/dillo/dpi" helped get it out. You may release ;-) f -- Francis Daly francis(a)daoine.org

Still broken for me. Fresh "cvs update" ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make sudo make install pkill dpi dillo /tmp/a.txt - blank screen, nothing in url box strace -f -F -o dillo.str dillo /tmp/a.txt 2>&1 | tee dillo.out - same thing. dillo.str shows not a lot obviously different from a working 0.8.5 equivalent; dillo.out has : main.c:328: main: get_command failed : Dpi_parse_token: [<dpi cmd='start_send_page' url='file:/tmp/a.txt'>] Dpi: [Dpi_process_io] IOClose in 0.8.5 but only : main.c:362: main: get_command failed : Dpi: [Dpi_process_io] IOClose in 0.8.6-pre for me.

It works here. Note: while typing fast I managed to "reproduce" the bug, but it was because I standed on src/ while doing make, and "dillorc" is in "../" from there! :-) If you find a way to reproduce the bug, it should be tackled before the release. > More when I've played with new-CVS a bit.

OK. I checked the patch, and recoded it to use D_DNS_THREADED, D_DNS*, and the same "./configure --disable-threaded-dns". Commited and in CVS now. Please test it. I'll make a 0.8.6rc1 after receiving your feedback with a view to a next release (its been a long time, and the CVS is stable enough). Note: I'm keeping 0.8.6pre in sync with the FLTK2-based tree. -- Cheers Jorge.-

The port to FLTK is advancing. Slowly, but advancing. The main problem is lack of funds -> lack of time. I've received requests/questions from several enterprises, but they still haven't commited to help us with funds. Except for the notable exception of Time of Mind Marketing Ltd. We're considering options with Sebastian, and maybe a dual license scheme could raise some funds. Who knows? We have little time left to try it though. The source tree is still not ready for CVS, and I hope that day to come. If we can't find a way to fund the project I'll have no other option than to leave the project. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Some of the BSDs don't provide a reentrant gethostbyname() function. This makes "Dillo" freeze when resolving names concurrently. I went to the site and saw several different hostnames. This may be the answer. One way to solve this is to delegate the DNS resolving to a dpi and to have a special one linked to an async DNS library for BSDs. Disclaimer: this COULD BE the cause.

dillo 0.8.5 / OpenBSD 3.6 help request

by Francis Daly

Hi all, I have a report than on a stock OpenBSD 3.6 box, using dillo 0.8.5, the following recipe seems to reliably(*) cause dillo to cease responding. (*) Almost every time. On the few occasions when it survived, clicking one or two more links caused it to fail then. "cease responding" means "click link does not follow link. click bookmark does not generate bookmark page. back button works, but nothing else". http://www.google.co.nz/ Search for fred dagg click each of the first six links in turn, clicking "back" after each one. By the time you get to http://www.wordworx.co.nz/dagg.html dillo has become unresponsive. Nothing obvious logged to suggest what the problem is. On my Linux box, I don't see the problem. I *can* induce similar symptoms by ulimit'ing the number of open files, but doing that gives me an obvious "Too many open files" error. An explicit ulimit on the OBSD box gives me the same obvious errors. Are there any OpenBSD 3.6 users here who can run this recipe and see if the problem is reproducible across more machines?

In terms of cookies, "ubuntuforums.org" is not the same as ".ubuntuforums.org". If that doesn't make a difference, share precisely which version of dillo you use, and precisely which url you access, and there'll be a better chance of reproducing the problem.

problem with cookies

by mike obrien

hi, i'm having trouble getting cookies to work for me. the trouble i'm having is that i just can't stay logged into some forums in which i participate. for example, i have "ubuntuforums.org ACCEPT" in my cookiesrc file. if i go do something else in that smae instance of dillo and then come back to ubuntu, again in that smae instance of dillo, i find myself no longer logged in to ubuntu forums. how can i solve this? thanks, mike
