[Dillo-dev]dillo-0.8.1.tar.bz2 final

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there, It's being a long period of testing. As I don't want to delay the next release anymore, the final tarball is there, ready for download! It is not yet announced, probably on Staurday, after Kelson is ready with the RPMs. The final tarball is not exactly the same as "pre2", it comes with a few fixes: - A fix on iterartors (on a very rare critical warning). - A fix to gray up the stop button on downloads (1 line fix). - A new link in the splash, magazines section. - A fix on pthreads detection code. The last one _NEEDS_ testing, on every machine! I may have said only on non Linux-based ones, but the bug was detected on an old libc5 based GNU/Linux! It should work because it more or less leaves the settings as they were before, but with the enhancement of not linking pthread to every binary. It's a simple test, if you have a working dillo binary after 'make', it's OK. That's all. Please don't be shy and report success on your platform. If nobody reports problems before Kelson is done (or Saturday), it will be released. ;-) Good Luck! Jorge.- PS: Please note that this release shifts the state from alpha to "very stable beta".

That seems authoritative. But for completeness, even though the character isn't allowed, it can appear, and how a browser handles it might matter. As a specific example, the "rt" issue tracker has a web interface. The version I was evaluating accepted (as I recall) the name "Se�n" as part of its input (the non-ascii character there is 0xe1, "LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE"). When it presented that back to the browser, the 0xe1 had become 0x00, which caused oddness in the display on a few browsers. The content-type was declared as text/html;charset=utf-8. I don't know if that was a part of, or a trigger for, the display problem. But either way, storing or accessing text/html as a C string will not work in (broken but existing) cases like that. If there's a straightforward way of flagging "I saw a NUL, this isn't text, complain to the web server administrator" in the bugmeter, that would probably be a reasonable failure (error correction) mode. All the best, f -- Francis Daly francis(a)daoine.org

You could use http://validator.w3.org to check for disallowed characters (it reports "non SGML character number 0"), but the ultimate reference is a) for HTML 4, the SGML declaration http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/sgmldecl.html where UNUSED effectively means 'disallowed' b) for XHTML, the XML specification, see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets which say, among other things, that all characters below 9 (HT) are disallowed. Thanks for a good question - I'm just finalizing a book on XHTML (in Finnish, sorry) and I realized that I had forgotten to discuss the character issue in sufficient detail.

Hi there! Does anyone know whether a null-byte ('\0') is allowed inside HTML or SGML or XML? Cheers Jorge.-

[Dillo-dev]pre release

by Frank W McCormick

Hi all Compiled and running the pre on Linux 2.4.24. No problems yet, but one thing that's been bothering me since Dillo was given DL capabilities....right clicking on a direct link gives you the DL but were it not for the eth0 indicator in ICEWM I wouldn't have any indication that DL was going ahead. Is this normal ? -- -------------- Frank McCormick Montreal --------------

It must be a dpi > launching problem ? I tried to reproduce it, but with no luck. Once running, the dpid daemon should not have trouble with the dpi_socket_dir file (it holds the directory name under /tmp used to create the unix domain sockets for each dpi server). BTW, it should survive a reboot! Maybe you have a cron job that removes the socket directory used by dillo or something like that. Please try to find a more precise way to reproduce it, as I can't with the first post's instructions. Can anyone else reproduce this? How does dillo crash? A Segfault, no download, silent exit? Cheers Jorge.-

[Dillo-dev]download problem on OpenBSD

by Riccardo Mottola

Hello, using pre2 I went to sourceforge do download a file. On the mirror page I selected one and clicked on the "here" message for the non-stadard refresh which gives a direct link to the file (I could use it for d/l with wget). Clicking on it brought up a file location requester, I selected my home directory and gave ok. Dillo crashed with: Nav_open_url: Url=>http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ayttm/ayttm-0.4.6.tar.gz?use_mirror=hean…< Connecting to 66.35.250.217 Nav_open_url: Url=>http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ayttm/ayttm-0.4.6.tar.gz< Dns_server [0]: heanet.dl.sourceforge.net is 0x721cb8 Connecting to 193.1.219.87 HTTP warning: Unhandled MIME type: <application/x-gzip> dpi.c:71: a_Dpi_rd_dpi_socket_dir: fopen : No such file or directory - /home/multix/.dillo/dpi_socket_dir debug_msg - init_sockdir: The dpi_socket_dir file does not exist dpid started Riccardo
