Re: [Dillo-dev] Question about frames (have them working, but...)

The specs say something like this: Use the <frameset> tag in lieu of a <body> tag in the frame document. You may not include any other content except valid <head> and <frameset> content in a frame document. Combining frames with a conventional document containing <body> may result in unpredictable browser behavior. So, again (this is to the list), should Dillo follow the specs - and thus produce unwanted results - or try to work around the cruft some sites serve? Fixing this would be relatively easy, and the fix can be optional (--enable-pedantic or --enable-quirks or whatever...) By the way, some sites check the browser string to decide what type of content to send, these may also send non-frames content. Same goes for sites which use Javascript to test for browser versions. So even if Dillo has full frame support one day, it can still happen that a site does not serve it (functional) frame documents...

Segfaults with png files
by William Trenker Aug. 5, 2003

Aug. 5, 2003

I built Dillo 0.7.2 from source and it works great except when there is a png file on the web page I'm browsing. In that case, Dillo segfaults with this message on the command line: Png_error_handling: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.12 Segmentation fault What have I done wrong? Can you give me any suggestion how to fix this? Thanks, Bill

Frame support in tab patch, found a bug...
by Frank de Lange Aug. 5, 2003

Aug. 5, 2003

Hi'all, I just noted an interesting typo in the frame support code, which makes some framed sites look really weird. I'll fix in in the next patch, but (as it is a very simple thing to change) you might want to fix your copy asap. in html.c, in the function Html_tag_open_frameset():1971 change: gint col = *frame_number / html->stack[html->stack_top].frameset_cols; gint row = *frame_number % html->stack[html->stack_top].frameset_cols; to: gint col = *frame_number % html->stack[html->stack_top].frameset_cols; gint row = *frame_number / html->stack[html->stack_top].frameset_cols; So, in essence, switch the '/' and '%' operators. It will still make a mess of the layout as it does not obey frame sizing, but at least it is a geometrically correct mess...

dillo-0.7.3-rc2
by Jorge Arellano Cid Aug. 3, 2003

Aug. 3, 2003

Hi there! Today I was decided to upload 0.8.0-pre but found some problems with one plugin. At the same time Sebastian sent me a fix for the bug that delays 0.7.3 (very simple), so most probably our current CVS holds the final 0.7.3! Please give it a hard test. If everything goes fine, it'll be released by Tuesday or Wednesday. With regard to 0.8.0-pre, please expect it to be in CVS at announce time. I know I have delayed it a lot, but it comes with much more than what was anticipated (and I believe you'd prefer it to be working right! :). Cheers Jorge.- PS: Phil, Kelson: Please be prepared to upgrade your packages before 0.7.3 is announced. That is, if testing don't say otherwise! I'll let you know one or two days before the announcement.

[PATCH] <Q> quotations
by Johan Hilding July 30, 2003

July 30, 2003

Hi! I've patched Dillo-CVS to do quotes, just like described in HTML 4.01 Spec. (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.2.2) but w/o the cite argument. The reason why there is no cite argument is 1) because i don't know how to parse/access an argument (no big problem, i'll just learn) 2) i don't know how to display it. I find the whole quotation being an anchor a bit annoying, so i'd like you to give me feedback on the patch and how to show the cite-argument.

RPM for Mandrake 9.1 PPC
by Kelson Vibber July 30, 2003

July 30, 2003

I figured out what I was doing wrong with the installer, and I got Mandrake set up. I didn't have to make any changes to dillo.spec for once - all I had to do was install some devel pacakges that Mandrake includes, but doesn't install by default. An RPM for Mandrake 9.1 PowerPC is now available. http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/ After the frustration of trying to get this installed in the first place, and a slightly better understanding of BootX which suggests that booting multiple versions of Linux on the same system will be inconvenient at best, I think I'm going to wait a while before I tackle anything else. This was the only PPC version I'd actually gotten a request for, after all. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

RPM for Mandrake 8.2, fixed SRPM for older distributions
by Kelson Vibber July 29, 2003

July 29, 2003

I actually posted the files last Thursday, but I didn't get around to announcing it. I now have an RPM suitable for Mandrake 8.2 (and presumably Mandrake 8.1 and 8.0, but I don't have those to test it.) http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/ In the process, I discovered a bug that prevented the SRPM from building on older versions of RPM. To handle the various menu structures, I used nested %if statements like "if Mandrake then X; else if SuSe then Y; else Z." RPM used to have problems with this. It's been fixed in recent releases, and it looks like it was backported for the version in SuSE 8.2, but Mandrake 8.2 (and probably older Red Hat and SuSE versions) would not be able to rebuild the SRPM. I've fixed that, so the SRPM should work on more systems now. If you were trying to use it and got errors about boolean expressions returning -1, try it again and let me know if it's still broken. I mentioned a while back that I might be able to add a few PPC distributions. That's turning out to be a problem, since I can't seem to install anything on the machine (a PowerBase Mac clone running Mac OS 8.5). I've tried Mandrake PPC 9.1 and Yellow Dog 2.3 so far. Mandrake's script for configuring BootX to run the installer won't work, and the docs for setting it up manually are sparse, so it's all trial and error. Yellow Dog sets up BootX fine, but the installer keeps crashing in the middle of installing glibc. Latest RPM Download Statistics (July) 270 Red Hat 9 avg 9.6/day 161 Mandrake 9 avg 5.8/day 120 Source RPM avg 4.3/day 107 Red Hat 7 avg 3.8/day 100 Red Hat 8 avg 3.6/day 82 SuSE 8 avg 2.9/day 7 Mandrake 8 avg 1.8/day (only available for 4 days) RH 9 is still the top download, but Mdk 9 has displaced the SRPM as #2. I do still wonder about the people grabbing the SRPMs. I haven't gotten many responses to the survey, and most of those were useless. People would select "Other" and then not say what distribution they wanted it for, or they would select "Older Mandrake Linux" but not say what version. Filter out all of those and anything applying to Mandrake 8, and only 3 requests remain: 1 each for SuSE 7, Red Hat 6, and Mandrake 9 PPC. Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

[PATCH] version 6 of Dillo tab patch now available!
by Frank de Lange July 27, 2003

July 27, 2003

Hej! I have released version 6 of my tabs patch for Dillo. Head for the patch website (geocities... start your junkbusters and privoxies...) and grab it while it is fresh. The patch was made against 20030723 CVS. Notable improvements include: - the mystery of the disappearing full_screen_off_button is solved, it now stays put. Turns out the dw_gtk_scrolled_window does not show (or raise?) the button when needed. (Sebastian, can you confirm this?). Solved it by hiding, then showing the button explicitly. - worked around (what I consider to be) a bug in dw_gtk_scrolled_window which caused a Gdk-CRITICAL warning about a non-existing window (the widget should check if the window exists/has been mapped before it tries to set a cursor for it. Or am I wrong?). The workaround consists of an explicit gtk_widget_map() call on the docwin in commands.c:480 - backspace now goes back ONE step in history, as it should... No known issues this time... Please... test this patch, and tell me what works/what does not/what you want to see changed... The patch does not just give Dillo tab functionality, it also provides a framework for implementing frames (no pun intended) by separating 'document' from 'interface' code. So, the sooner it is in CVS, the better... As always, you can disable the tab functionality with --disable-tabs. You'll still gain the focus improvements and the shift-click functionality, as well as the document/interface separation.

I understand. BTW, I gave a hand at trying to hunt the bug, and reduced the HTML page to reproduce it (attached), but it also requires a customized slow.c (also attached; it sends by bytes instead of chunks and allows changing the speed). A simple: ...slow?/tmp/b2.html will do. The bug has to do with the new way of handling NOWRAP.

It also needs polishing before end users can play with it. One way to solve this problem is to tag current CVS as 0.7.3-rc1, and then upload the truckload of changes that 0.8.0-pre has. Then you can freely work on fixing the bug on 0.7.3-rc1, and when that's done we release 0.7.3 to the public. That way, I can finally let our developers play with 0.8.0-pre from CVS. You get out of the release pressure, and the only thing to be done after 0.7.3 is ready, is to forward port the fixes to CVS (currently 0.8.0-pre is up to date with 0.7.3 CVS). The other goodie that comes from making a 0.7.3 release is that as a long time has passed since our last release, not making this intermediate one would put a lot of pressure on 0.8.0's timeline. Sounds good for you? Best Jorge.-

[PATCH] new version of Dillo tab patch, please test...
by Frank de Lange July 23, 2003

July 23, 2003

Hi'all! I have released a new version of my tabs patch for Dillo. Head for the patch website (geocities... start your junkbusters and privoxies...) and grab it while it is fresh (see below for download location). The patch was made against 20030723 CVS. Notable improvements include: - focus is on docwin on tab switch, so keyboard navigation works - focus is on location bar on empty new tab/new window - Control-click on link opens new tab, shift-click opens new window - new pref: tab_on_middle_click (default:NO), open a tab (instead of a new window) on link_middle_click - left-to-right tab deletion order (should this be a pref?) known issues: - in fullscreen mode, the 'show controls' button (in the lower right corner of the screen) disappears when switching tabs. Double-click in the window will restore the controls. The button IS reparented, it is just not shown. The widget does not seem to raise it when needed. - when loading a tab in the background, dillo sometimes (quite often actually) gives a Gdk-CRITICAL warning: Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkwindow.c: line 1274 (gdk_window_set_cursor): assertion `window != NULL' failed. This seems to be a widget issue (the widget tries to set a cursor on a non-existing window, see earlier messages for more explanation). (Sebastian, have you looked into this yet?) Please... test this patch, and tell me what works/what does not/what you want to see changed... The patch does not just give Dillo tab functionality, it also provides a framework for implementing frames (no pun intended) by separating 'document' from 'interface' code.

[BUG] segfault on page-back after bookmark delete
by Frank de Lange July 23, 2003

July 23, 2003

While testing my tab-patch I happened upon a segfault in the current CVS version of Dillo. Do this: 1) go to the bookmarks page 2) select the [modify] link 3) select something to delete (can be the 'Unclassified' section in case you have no bookmarks defined) 4) select the delete operation in the drop-down list 5) press [submit] (the bookmark(s)/section(s) will be deleted) 6) click the back button Instead of going back in history, you'll get a page with TWO bookmark sections (a Bookmarks::modify page, followed by a normal Bookmarks:: page). If you press the 'forward' button at this stage, you'll get a page with THREE bookmarks sections. Press back again, and you'll have FOUR bookmarks sections. Et cetera... 5) press back again you should be looking at the 'about:splash' page now 6) to trigger the segfault, either... - press forward or - click any link on the page I submitted a bug for this (bugid = 481) with a short description (that 256 char limit is a bit... limiting...). As this is easy to try for yourself, I have not included trace info...

Broadband will make it harder (you may try while downloading another file). Finally a: 'wget -kp ...' and viewing it from the local files (with the added delay of HD access also works sometimes). This adds another delay... :( The good news is that the 0.8.0-pre tarball is ready (I just finished a non-polished but functional ftp plugin, also added a hello.dpi example, and wrote a seven pages doc file Dpid.txt). As you know, I was wishing to make it available after 0.7.3, but most probably I'll have to upload this tarballs soon. Ah, with all this release overhead I haven't had the time for answering some interesting issues. I hope to have more time after the release: Johan H. : Yes, you convinced me! :), and I gave it some extra thought please be patient. I'll write back. Frank : A review of the tabs patch is still pending. Counting dillo users: I have an idea, stay tunned! "Nirvana" Focus: I have an answer from Owen Taylor. Interesting. User agent ID: I gave it a nother review (It had being brought by Damien a long time ago). As then, I digged the http specs and pondered the seccurity concerns and kept more inclined to not providing OS info. GTK+2 : It'd be very interesting to know how much overhead it adds: is it slower?, how much bigger? etc. Please note that one of the main causes for GTK+ being very slow, is GTK+ themes (but they can be avoided!). If someone has these answers, or pointer to docs. it'd be very interesting to follow the thread. Cheers Jorge.-

dpid
by Ferdi Franceschini July 21, 2003

July 21, 2003

A new version of the plugin manager for dillo (dpid5) is now available at http://www.geocities.com/ferdif2003/ * dpid now scans a dillo plugin directory structure for available plugins. * the main function has been refactored to make it easier to understand and easier to extend with new dpid commands. * the test suite has been restructured so that it is now easier to test inividual modules and functions in a test environment with dummy clients and servers. TODO There is still no code to integrate new plugins into dillo. You still have to kill and restart dpid when new plugins are added. Ferdi

I'm quite enjoying using dillo 0.7.2 with the 'interim https patch' in all sorts of fun ways (amazon,playstation2-linux...) Is there any 'easy' way to set up a 'password' facility, so I can use with Smoothwall? Bob -- robert w hall

Dillo 0.7.2 with IPv6 - cross-compiling for iPAQ H3970
by Ruth Vázquez Cerro July 18, 2003

July 18, 2003

Hello, I'd like to use dillo with IPv6 in my H3970 iPAQ. I have the cross-compiling environment but it lacks of some libs and header source files that make dillo impossible to ./configure and hence to compile. Can anyone tell me where do I get those librarys from? The lines that worry me are copied here. Below the output of configure is copied too.

Dillo 0.7.3 delayed...
by Jorge Arellano Cid July 17, 2003

July 17, 2003

Hi guys! Did you test 0.7.3 as I suggested? The good/bad news (depends on being optimistic/pesimistic!) is that yesterday I found a bug. The newest CVS has a g_print that makes it evident. Valgrind says: ==983== Invalid memory access of size 1 ==983== at 0x4014861B: strcmp (in /usr/local/lib/valgrind/valgrind.so) ==983== by 0x403CABAD: g_str_equal (in /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10) ==983== by 0x403BDB38: g_hash_table_lookup_extended (in /usr/lib/libglib-1.2 ==983== by 0x805B912: p_Dw_gtk_viewport_put_anchor (dw_gtk_viewport.c:770) ==983== Address 0x41054960 is 0 bytes inside a block of size 12 free'd ==983== at 0x40148050: free (in /usr/local/lib/valgrind/valgrind.so) ==983== by 0x403C1FE8: g_free (in /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10) ==983== by 0x805D646: Dw_page_destroy (dw_page.c:338) ==983== by 0x402EB876: gtk_marshal_NONE__NONE (in /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0.9 Note the p_Dw_gtk_viewport_put_anchor where the g_print is. This may come from somewhere else, so let's hunt. It should be solved before making the release. Cheers Jorge.-

Make sure there's the .so, and Try again. If it fails, try renaming the .a and see what the compiler (or linker) says. Continue from there. Ah!, and please write back to the mailing list.

Some news...
by Jorge Arellano Cid July 14, 2003

July 14, 2003

Hi there! This has been a very busy week. I didn't anticipate how much work the dpid (dpi daemon) integration could take. Don't panic though!, the code that binds it all is running (to some extent) in my machine. The time consuming problem is that while making the integration, a lot of design matters spring in, and they take a lot of time to solve. The good news is that it all starts to shape into a more clear design (the code is still hackish at parts, but it is clear what, where and how to fix it). While working the gory details of it, I realized it'd be a good idea to make the 0.7.3 release with what we have now (plus a little bug fix we're working on with Sebastian). That way, there'll be less pressure on us while polishing the new dpid implementation, and hey!, it's been a long time since our last release. I'll keep the CVS free of the dpid code until the 0.7.3 release is done. For the meanwhile, I'll provide a tarball to the new code. (and if I can't wrap the new code before Monday, I'll provide a link to the latest dpid testing tarball I have). Cheers Jorge.-

Hi there! From time to time I find some remarkable articles. The next couple is in our [Links] section, but as most probably some of us have missed them, I want to recommend them explicitly. The make an excellent read for every developer, regardless of the project they're working on. Please take my advice and spare some time to read them, it's all worth of it! http://www.dillo.org/ui-prefs-tips.html http://ometer.com/features.html (both by Havoc Pennington). -- I also noice that sometimes it gets a bit tedious to dig in the mailing list archives, and there was this ancient email about GMANE, and hey! they have a nice search engine. Now there's a link to it from our [Mailing list] page. Enjoy! Jorge.-

Suggestion & patch for browser identification (user-agent)
by Kelson Vibber July 9, 2003

July 9, 2003

I know this is too late to even consider for 0.7.3, but I thought I'd get this out for discussion. I've been looking at browser statistics on my website, and started thinking about what various browsers do and don't report in their User-Agent identification. All report their name. Many report the rendering engine (Gecko, KHTML, etc.) Many also report the operating system and the type of system (with varying levels of detail), and some even report the language of the user interface. Here are some examples from my website's server logs: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (WinNT; U) Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.18 i686) Opera/7.11 (Linux 2.4.20-18.9 i686; U) [en] Opera/6.0 (Macintosh; PPC Mac OS X; U) [en] Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.22; Mac_PowerPC) Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030524 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/85 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/85 Some interesting notes: - Netscape and Mozilla always use "X11" for anything X-based, and have a separate field to indicate the actual OS (Linux, Solaris, *BSD, etc.) - Konqueror lets you configure the amount of detail you report. The example here is the default. - Most of the *nix-based strings use qhat you get from uname -sm or uname -srm. - Most browsers designed for Mac OS X report "PPC Mac OS X" - There are possible privacy/security implications of revealing too much information, like your system's kernel version or your primary language. I think that knowing the operating system is interesting, but much more than that probably isn't necessary, so I'd like to suggest one of the following syntaxes to extend the Dillo user-agent string: Dillo/<version> (<system>) Dillo/<version> (<platform>; <system>) Where <system> is the output of "uname -sm" (i.e. Linux PPC, FreeBSD i386, etc) and <platform> is of the form (Windows|Macintosh|X11|etc.) as used by Mozilla (see http://www.mozilla.org/build/revised-user-agent-strings.html ). This would result in identification like the following: Dillo/0.8 (Linux i386) Dillo/0.8 (FreeBSD i686) Dillo/0.8 (Linux PPC) Dillo/0.8 (PPC Mac OS X)* and so on, or perhaps: Dillo/0.8 (X11; Linux i386) Dillo/0.8 (X11; CYGWIN_NT-5.0 i686) to fit Netscape/Mozilla's pattern. * (Aside from the reversed order, Mac OS X would probably show up as Darwin unless a special case is made. This would probably mean setting the User-Agent string once and keeping it in memory instead of building it with each HTTP request. And for the longer syntax there's the issue that it still runs under X, so the platform would probably be X11 instead of Macintosh.) I have attached a quick patch which uses the utsname struct to create the first syntax, and I've tested it successfully on Linux and Cygwin on Intel hardware. So does anyone else think this is a good/bad/interesting idea? And is anyone interested in testing it on *BSD/Solaris/Mac/etc.? -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

Porting to Windows?
by Andreas Tolfsen July 9, 2003

July 9, 2003

I've just been wondering; Are there any future plans for porting Dillo to the Windows platform? Or is Dillo to stay on GNU/Linux? I think porting to Windows would let Dillo have a much bigger audience to speak to (since about 90% of the worlds computers run Windows). I just wondered if there were any plans? Best regards for a wonderful open-source browser, Andreas Tolfsen <ato(a)itnerd.net>
