Floats
by sgeerken＠dillo.org Sept. 14, 2012

Sept. 14, 2012

Hi! I've just merged the recent developments (including hyphenation) into the floats branch, which was originally at <http://flpsed.org/hgweb/dillo_floats/>, but is now at <http://flpsed.org/hgweb/dillo_floats_geerken>. Unfortunatey, floats do not work at all after the merge, since there were some incompatible changes for hyphenation (see comment at the beginning of calcAvailWidth). However, expect some work here in the next weeks. Sebastian

SimpleVector initAlloc parameter
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de Sept. 13, 2012

Sept. 13, 2012

Hi, I noticed that the initAlloc parameter of lout::SimpleVector() is ignored and we always start with a 1-element array (see SimpleVector::resize()). To avoid confusion I would either remove the initAlloc parameter altogether or use it and adjust the callers as appropriate. I'm fine either way, but the current solution is not good. Any opinions? Cheers, Johannes

next release of dillo?

On the Current Plans page of dillo, there are a number of issues that appear to have either items that are finished or have a prototype (eg handle javascript_. Just wondering whether there are any plans to release dillo soon? Thanks again for a great browser! Trotter

class attributes
by corvid＠lavabit.com Sept. 11, 2012

Sept. 11, 2012

Is there a reason why we don't parse entities when we get the class attr? (I was looking at how we use Html_get_attr2() in all cases for Html_parse_common_attrs(), and a_Html_get_attr() the rest of the time, and I haven't noticed anything yet in the html4 spec that makes it sound like we shouldn't parse entities for class.)

Ok I remember now. Adding "p {margin: 1em 0}" to our user agent style is correct. However we need to implement collapsing bottom-margin and top-margins for subsequent block level elements to make it look nice.

Hi, I tried to use translate.google.com with dillo and it does not work with non-ascii characters. I do not know http by heart so that I know what character set should be send in the post request but it seems not to be what google expects. Words with non-ascii characters are not translated and non-ascii characters are turned into questionmarks. Greetings Andreas Kemnade

Good! This looks like an issue with fltk-1.3. FWIW, inside fltk-1.3 src/Fl_x.cxx:1443, there's no code to handle those buttons. Having something like the following may be worth a try (if you're a coder): if (xevent.xbutton.button == Button4) { Fl::e_dy = -1; // Up event = FL_MOUSEWHEEL; } else if (xevent.xbutton.button == Button5) { Fl::e_dy = +1; // Down event = FL_MOUSEWHEEL; + } else if (xevent.xbutton.button == Button6) { + Fl::e_dx = -1; // Left + event = FL_MOUSEWHEEL; + } else if (xevent.xbutton.button == Button7) { + Fl::e_dx = +1; // Right + event = FL_MOUSEWHEEL; } else { Fl::e_state |= (FL_BUTTON1 << (xevent.xbutton.button-1)); event = FL_PUSH; checkdouble(); } > Thank you for your response. :) -- Cheers Jorge.-

hyphenation in dillo
by sgeerken＠dillo.org July 24, 2012

July 24, 2012

Hi! At <http://flpsed.org/hgweb/dillo_hyphen/>, you'll find a version of dillo which automatically hyphenates words, using the algorith by Frank Liang (which is also used by TeX). It is still quite messy, but works already rather stable. Some manual work is neccessary (from dillo_hyphen): mkdir /usr/local/lib/dillo/hyphenation cp test/hyph-de-1996.pat /usr/local/lib/dillo/hyphenation/de.pat cp test/hyph-en-us.pat /usr/local/lib/dillo/hyphenation/en.pat For other language, the files in the CTAN should be converted. For playing around, try this one: <http://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Spezial:Zuf%C3%A4llige_Seite> :-) Sebastian

signed integer overflow in cache.c
by p37sitdu＠lavabit.com June 18, 2012

June 18, 2012

In function Cache_client_enqueue variable ClientKey is incremented and checked for negative values after that (in case of overflow). Even though overflow is unlikely, signed integer overflow results in wraparound on most systems and gcc don't seem to optimize away overflow check even with -O3 (it only inlines Cache_client_enqueue in my case) it is better to avoid overflow completely as there are other compilers and compiler versions.

dillo.cc cleanup and bugfix
by p37sitdu＠lavabit.com June 18, 2012

June 18, 2012

Reordered #includes. Fixed --geometry flag. It is --geometry in man page but -geometry in usage and only -geometry is recognized by program. Simplified getCmdOption. Removed State enum, it was overkill. It is also possible to remove support for mandatory arguments (opt_argc < 0) as it is not used, but it does not add LOC so I left it there. Removed check for about:blank as start_page, it is not a special case.

[patch] VOIDP2INT, INT2VOIDP and pointer size
by p37sitdu＠lavabit.com June 13, 2012

June 13, 2012

Now (long) is used for converting (void *) to integer. This patch replaces (long) with intptr_t. I don't think this fixes the real problem. When VOIDP2INT and INT2VOIDP macros are used, it is possible that converted type won't fit into intptr_t. It is better to rewrite code that uses these macros in portable way and remove these macros. Anyway, using intptr_t is better than using (long), (long long) or introducing more autoconf dependency.

[patch] HTML parser bugfix
by p37sitdu＠lavabit.com June 12, 2012

June 12, 2012

The following HTML fragment is shown as BUG<">abc by Dillo. It is valid (checked with validator.w3.org) HTML. In Firefox it is shown as abc with '>BUG<' tooltip. <div title=">BUG<">abc</div> What happens is that Dillo see < character inside quotes, shows bug "attribute lacks closing quote" and breaks out of tag parsing loop. In fact it is not possible to say if there is a bug in HTML at that point. In WWW you can see this bug on http://reddit.com. Each entry on this page contains votehash', null, event)" > and bug meter shows bugs for them. Attached patch removes logic that tries to detect unterminated quoted attributes and fixes this bug.

[patch] downloads dpi progress bar
by p37sitdu＠lavabit.com June 3, 2012

June 3, 2012

Now progress bar is implemented as custom widget on top of Fl_Widget class. But FLTK already has Fl_Progress class for the same thing. Progress bar looks the same with two exceptions: 1. No tooltip: it is not displayed for Fl_Progress even when set. Normally progress bars, labels and other widgets for status information don't have tooltips so I think it is ok. 2. When downloading file without Content-Length, progress bar is always empty. With current implementation it changes for one percent on every update and remains somewhere in the middle when download is finished. For me keeping it at zero looks better. Patch and python HTTP server for testing downloads without Content-Length attached.

Suggestion regarding XHTML handling
by singpolyma＠singpolyma.net March 31, 2012

March 31, 2012

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Might I suggest actually doing basic namespace handling when a page is delivered using an XML MIME type? For example, this page: <http://aggregator.singpolyma.net/feeds/denver/> contains both XHTML and embedded (namespaced) Atom, but instead of seeing the Atom as something it cannot process or otherwise handling it, the rendering engine just turns all the tags into inline flow content and shows the text contents in what is essentially line noise. I know that in a "normal" HTML page you want the heuristics to do this sort of thing in case some bozo has dumped something that maybe looks like a namespace into the tag soup (and namespaces aren't officially supported in HTML anyway), but if the MIME-type is an XML one, the UA should be able to process it as XML and ignore or otherwise handle namespaces it doesn't understand. - -- Stephen Paul Weber, @singpolyma See <http://singpolyma.net> for how I prefer to be contacted edition right joseph -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJPbUV7AAoJENEcKRHOUZze+aMQAKDSNe3QZzzsIFYZkH2fvWE+ 03gRZy7XtwzqQMBQENAuZgK1orUGR8KO8t69re7f+GFTed36lE5QrqtY2tKPmtrl BD0W7d0bbZpAzIk0akS44l9+ICy2X+iKMxhdzeELcEABxlRLqfgYwS3zZ+XjvOyK VGOj8ejDs1n4G2SO6IC28DXJxa8cijkhfN7QzAO1rUpHSlPV8xO6vCIOultr05Nc VoybKhBTetDV4FsRX4hpwd5/ToAl6JYWvkwaSEny7Pc30H8EXthIzASnf+K2rPwh v31aNWJgrf6DwXhnX1SZLYYFkePpuiLzOAWGbljacJlnkI9r6guXDUIq0U0mCdLD G1fuvnaLCSv78yz7MwDS/hDwxx7rElXk3w7BbwzA71tbuJocBTq3clX4Ho+dL84L +pYCXWjWbt5BPiIgHDiPzj+48AS4kvW9y4a/yCPoAJFExZDdoNdSlFGUvGmc2xwa 9Rcvz7lX6DQ5iZXXBLpVi5IrwMFEaXKd+0dUbsaXD30a6n6r+8o6sDMSh+CIDu20 dVhB58ff7j7cwVsPSQtHZmkjq4x3KxMiIm/gtYijkxh48lsUwMiyIBpw76gUZDPp N22Q4c5bGiHWRUhYHTwuu1C04Dx0wHeWoaKDGaPV9YyEyPq1EiZZTz2Vzd7AMbUT K1x3M4Fep0SUuLsVusle =ldnT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

TitanTV does not show the default channel listing
by rogerx.oss＠gmail.com Feb. 2, 2012

Feb. 2, 2012

Just a quick note, having a pain in the arse viewing titantv.com channel listings. Seems Dillo keeps pulling an unwanted channel listing page instead of my default channel listing. I even deleted all other channel listings and restarted Dillo (and dpid, including rebooting) and I'm still getting a unwanted listing. Changed user agent too. ELinks seems to be doing similar, but I once got it to display my default channel listing without having to delete other listings. But now even ELinks is now showing the same listing that Dillo displays. Only browser that seems to work is Seamonkey (Mozilla) here.

Currently any inline HTML entity will be converted if the whole entity name matches up to a non-alnum, even if there is no trailing semicolon. For example, foo&lt,bar would be converted, but foo&ltbar wouldn't. This means that an improperly encoded url like /foo.html?a=b&lang=en would not work, because &lang would be translated to a Left Angle Bracket. But we can't just require all HTML entites to have a terminating semicolon, because that would cause worse behavior on all the broken websites that rely on lazy entity termination. Webkit has a fairly good solution for this. Their entity list (http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/html/parser/HTMLEntityN…) has defined duplicate elements without trailing semicolons for some tags only. By my count, 106/2125 tags have a duplicate zero-semicolon definition. Does anybody know how Webkit chose which tags are valid without a semicolon? Is that defined in an RFC somewhere? Another option would be to require entites to have a terminating semicolon when they're part of a tag attribute. That's assuming most pages that encode their tag attributes do it properly. For example, <a href="error.cgi?msg=Unauthorized&nbsp."> wouldn't behave as it used to.
