text wrap aroung images?
by JoeHill July 7, 2003

July 7, 2003

I'm curious about why Dillo doesn't wrap text around images, but treats all images as a paragraph IYSWIM. Is this a fault in the way people are doing their html (Slashdot?!), or is it something with Dillo? Not a major issue, but it seems to be a standard thing in HTML.

Solaris IPv6 DNS and http_proxy segfault
by Todd Carson July 7, 2003

July 7, 2003

I just built dillo on Solaris 9 and I encountered a few issues compiling and running it. I didn't see any mention of these in the bug entries or the list archives, but I'll admit I didn't look for very long, so if any of these have already been dealt with, I apologize. Dillo won't compile on Solaris 9 (and probably earlier versions too) with IPv6 enabled. In dns.c it calls gethostbyname2() for IPv6 name resolution; this function doesn't exist in Solaris, it should use getipnodebyname() or getaddrinfo(). I edited dns.c and replaced the gethostbyname2() call with a call to getipnodebyname(). The diff follows: --- src/dns-dist.c Sun Jul 6 23:29:05 2003 +++ src/dns.c Sun Jul 6 23:33:08 2003 @@ -244,6 +244,7 @@ memcpy(&dh->data[0], host->h_addr_list[i], host->h_length); list = g_slist_append(list, dh); } + freehostent(host); return list; } @@ -260,6 +261,7 @@ struct hostent sh; #endif GSList *hosts = NULL; + int err_num; #ifdef G_DNS_THREADED /* Set this thread to detached state */ @@ -271,9 +273,14 @@ #ifdef ENABLE_IPV6 if (ipv6_enabled) { - host = gethostbyname2(dns_server[channel].hostname, AF_INET6); + host = getipnodebyname(dns_server[channel].hostname, AF_INET6, AI_DEFAULT, &err_num) if (host) - hosts = Dns_note_hosts(hosts, AF_INET6, host); + { + if (host->h_length == 4) + hosts = Dns_note_hosts(hosts, AF_INET, host); + else + hosts = Dns_note_hosts(hosts, AF_INET6, host); + } } #endif This works okay for me, but I'm not a programmer, so it's fairly sloppy, probably introduces new bugs, and could certainly be improved upon. I'm particularly unsure if that's the right place for the freehostent(), or if that's necessary at all. The other issue I ran into was that Dillo will apparently segfault, at least on my system, if the http_proxy environment variable is set and contains only a hostname and port rather than a full URL. Here's the console output: Setting locale to C... dillo_dns_init: Here we go! Cookies: Created file: /home/tc/.dillo/cookies Enabling cookies as from cookiesrc...

FW: Dillo project Cross-platform build problem re: GTK
by Sean Kelly July 2, 2003

July 2, 2003

Hello, all - Per Jorge's suggestion, I'm forwarding this message to the group. Perhaps someone here has already done some work on the AMD Alchemy MIPS microprocessor with the Dillo browser(?) Please see my original message below for a description of the problem I am faced with. I will pre-emptively respond with "Unfortunately, no!" to the question of whether or not I can just do the build on the MIPS machine. The reason is that that is a terribly small (poor CPU, low RAM, Flash Disk) machine incapable of supporting the development tools. My current approach is to try and trick the configure script by making it bring up a shell script that I write called "gtk-config" which I will point to in the $PATH environment variable. The output of it will respong to the three queries --cflags, --version and --libs with the responses pertinent to the MIPS target environment while at the same time being executable on the local development environment. Hopefully that'll be sufficient to get it to link everything together successfully. Would appreciate any feedback - I'll post again if the above method is met with any success.

Hangin with high CPU load
by David McKee July 2, 2003

July 2, 2003

Folks, I've been using dillo for a number of months now, and it has become my first choice browser--I switch to mozilla or opera only when I have to java, javascript, http/1.1 authentication, ssl and the like. Of late dillo has started getting into a state where all progress stop in all open windows, and it sits on the CPU---keeping my load average at 1.0 Sometimes it recovers after a while, sometime I get fed up and close all windows at the WM manager level. Stopping all the active windows doesn't cure it, nor does closing them. I haven't tried using the `Exit Dillo' menu item, but I'll do so on the next occurrence. This has been with the CVS version(s) over the last few weeks. Two systems, one running redhat 6.2 (I know, I know...), the other Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r1. So, two questions: -- Has anyone else observed this behavior? -- Can anyone suggest a good way to diagnose the problem so I can submit a decent bug report? As things stand my understanding is horribly vague. N.B. I seems to happen most when I have opened several links in new windows in rapid succession. Thanks, -- -- David McKee -- dmckee(a)jlab.org -- (757) 269-7492 (Office)

selection bug
by Joe Crayne July 1, 2003

July 1, 2003

click on the image in this page: <html> <body> <a href="http://www.google.com"> <img src="http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif"></a> </body> </html> Dillo will segfault. Apparently, this is because there is no selectable content in the page. a_Dw_ext_iterator_new() is returning NULL at selection.c:152 selection->link = a_Dw_ext_iterator_new (it); selection->link_char = Selection_correct_char_pos (selection->link, char_pos); selection->link_number = link; ret = TRUE; So I tried a naive quick fix: selection->link = a_Dw_ext_iterator_new (it); if( selection->link ) { selection->link_char = Selection_correct_char_pos (selection->link, char_pos); selection->link_number = link; ret = TRUE; } else ret = FALSE; This just moved the bug elsewhere because dillo then segfaulted when I clicked the image and held the button down and moved off of it. Selection_switch_link_to_selection() expects a non NULL iterator.

java and dillo

Hey guys, Good-day. Have been looking high and low for a browser thats light weight and supports Java. The dillo homepage ain't saying anything about JVM integration, but Freshmeat does mention about JVM on the project page. Can someone please clarify since a project spec demands we need to be looking at a light weight jvm capable browser.

[PATCH] new version of tab patch, fixes segfault on bookmark
by Frank de Lange July 1, 2003

July 1, 2003

Hey'all, Had a minute to spare and a wireless connection in a (very smoky... a filty habit it is indeed...) coffee shop in Cambridge/UK, so I fixed the buglet which made the tabbed version of Dillo segfault on bookmark add. I also cleaned up the code a little, moved some things around to satisfy C99, removed generated files from the patch, etc. No big functional changes (unless you call 'not crashing anymore on bookmark add' a functional change...) I uploaded a new version of the patch to the geocities page (block those popup/under/down/everywhere ads to your heart's content...): http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/dillo-20030630-tabs.patch.gz 41210 bytes 4e96e122819d9d61a61a07a2cb8557e4 (as is) 27b9923f410a28224957fa40474c901a (uncompressed) I removed the old patch file, and replaced it with a note telling people to download the latest version instead. In general, I keep the patch file on the geocities site up to date, so look there (http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/) for the last version before submitting bug reports to me/to the list. Also, I removed the generated files (configure, makefile.in) from the patch. So, DO NOT FORGET TO RUN ./autogen.sh after patching! The patch is against the 20030630 CVS version of Dillo. As long as there are no big changes to CVS which touch the tab patch, I will try to follow CVS releases. If this should change before the tab patch is committed, I'll keep to the last CVS release which works with the patch.

Dillo RPM for SuSE
by Kelson Vibber June 30, 2003

June 30, 2003

Well, I managed to install SuSE 8.2 on my system. (It wasn't easy, mainly because the installer doesn't seem to be very forgiving of FTP interruptions.) I have a first try at an RPM built on SuSE with the SuSE menu structure. The main thing that's missing is the icon for the menu item. The only places I could find for icons seemed to be in either /opt/kde or /opt/gnome, and I didn't want to place it there. If anyone knows where desktop-independent menu icons should go on SuSE, please tell me! Here are the latest RPM download statistics: 283 Red Hat 9 avg 9.8/day 225 SRPM avg 7.8/day 189 Red Hat 8 avg 6.5/day 174 Red Hat 7 avg 6.0/day 32 Mandrake 9 avg 5.3/day (available for 6 days) 5 SuSE 8 avg 1.7/day (available for 3 days, not announced) The Mandrake stats may catch up with Red Hat 7 after search engines pick up the changes. On the other hand, I have discovered some other Mandrake and SuSE RPMS out there, so some people may be going to those sources instead. Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

dpi interface ....
by Lars Segerlund June 27, 2003

June 27, 2003

Hi, I'm trying to hack a mailreader dpi for dillo, and I have some code which runs on top of nmh and works decently, ( I looked at exmh :-) ). So now I wan't to know where the dpi's are heading ? Mainly if there is a plan for 'dynamic dpi configuration' and such, i.e. the ability to use a dpi bound at runtime, I have looked at the bookmarks dpi, and since parts of it is compiled into the binary ( the button binding and such ), I am wondering how to handle this in a future safe manner ? ( btw. the mail reader works something like a local webmailer, and I wanted somthing which made extensive use of comand line mail utilities which alredy exist ). So is there a furure target to aim for or do I make it a patch a'la bookmarks ? / regards, Lars Segerlund.

Although I'm with little time now, I managed to review the patches; they look clean, that's good. Here go my comments. (I'll contact you in the future when I have more time). > dillo-search.diff: > - * Added search feature to location entry/open url. ("s key words...") > (BUG#473) Very interesting, and certainly easy to use. Unfortunately it comes with a kind of interface that's out of the cognitive model behind Dillo's UI. In simple terms it means that users will have to learn how to use it from the help file and that it's not quite oobvious from the GUI and that it is different from what you come to expect when using dillo. The search problem had been in my mind for some time, so I know it is necesary to do something about it. I think that a small icon (like "clear URL box"), shaped as a magnifier, can pop up a dialog (like "Open URL"), but for search. If we add a short-cut for it (Ctrl-s), and the option to hide the icon (as with the rest of the interface icons), it integrates better with the user interface model. > * Added 'search_url' to dillorc. Perfect. The rest of the patch is quite OK! > dillo-accel.diff: > - * Added keyboard shortcuts to > - reload (Ctrl+R). > - full screen (F11). > - select all text in location entry (F8). > - focus location entry (Ctrl+Shift+L) > (BUG#474) > > Files affected: interface.c > > This patch adds a few useful keyboard shortcuts which eases mouse less > browsing. > Most browsers have a focus-and-select the location entry shortcut (Ctrl-L in > mozilla, F8 in opera).

Am I wrong? > > Maybe Ctrl+L would be a better shortcut to select all text in the location > entry and Ctrl+Shift+L the shortcut to open an open url dialog (as in > Mozilla), but I didn't dare changing the default behaviour without > getting some feedback first. I think: - reload (Ctrl+R). - full screen (F11). could be easily agreed into a short-cut key. The problem is that everybody comes with his favorite set of shortcuts (you'd be amazed to look in my Mailbox!). OTOH this is not rare; evreyone uses some different apps. and get accustomed to different key combinations. I prefer to take Havoc's approach on this: http://www.dillo.org/ui-prefs-tips.html > dillo-focus.diff: > - * Made main document window grab focus on startup and after open url. > (BUG#330) > > Files affected: interface.c > > This is just a two line patch which implements the behaviour found in other > browsers as mozilla and opera. Makes mouse less browsing easier. Well, this is a long time unsolved problem for us :(. Please give a read to my last post about it: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2003-June/000770.html If you can make a temporary subscription and send it to the GTK+ list, it'd be a great favor to us. In the meanwhile (or if the post gets no answer), I think your approach will make it into the source as a workaround. Note that if we solve this, it becomes easy to focus the location box (or viewport) in tyhe standard GTK+ way: TAB/ShiftTAb Cheers Jorge.-

Dillo RPMs updated, Mandrake version available
by Kelson Vibber June 25, 2003

June 25, 2003

Last night I added a Mandrake 9.1 partition and built a Dillo RPM for Mandrake. I made a few changes to put the Dillo menu item and icon in the appropriate place for Mandrake's menus. The SRPM now detects when it's being built on a Mandrake system and places menu info in /usr/lib/menu. Otherwise, it uses /etc/X11/applnk (as before). http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo.html I will probably be making another RPM release in the next few days, patching the splash page to point to www.dillo.org. (In the plain 0.7.2 release, it still points to the wearlab.de site.) Jorge, would it be appropriate to also use the new toolbar icons, or would you prefer I waited until the next official release?

Entities &#ascii_equivalent; behavior question in dilo 0.7.2

Folks: I'm new to dillo. I have compiled version 0.7.2 on redhat v9.0. It seems to work ok. I noticed that when displaying the google home page (http://www.google.com) I get the following html source displayed for "&#ascii_equivalent" entities: Examplr: In front of "Advanced Search" I get "• Advanced Search". Question is this normal behavior? Do I have a configuration issue? Thanks in advanced... ---Ronald W. Henderson

Any interest in non-RedHat RPMs?
by Kelson Vibber June 21, 2003

June 21, 2003

Right now I've got RPMs for Red Hat 7.3, 8.0, and 9.0 available at http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo.html . I've got my computer triple-booting into all 3 versions in order to build these. I also have a whole lot of unused space on my drive, so it would be possible to set up another partition or two to build RPMs for (an)other distribution(s). A few months ago I tried out both Red Hat 9 and Mandrake 9.1, before settling again on Red Hat - so I have the Mandrake CDs available. And assuming that SuSe has rpmbuild in their free version, I could probably download that if there was enough interest. I may also be able to get access to a Power Macintosh and experiment with something like Yellow Dog. So would anyone here be interested in additional RPMs, or do you think the SRPM is enough?

transient find-dialog
by Andreas Zwinkau June 19, 2003

Hi I use ion as my window manager and i found that the find-dialog is not marked 'transient', but a normal window. This is not a good behaviour in my eyes, i have to configure ion manually to treat it as transient. I must admit i do not fully know, what transient means, but it seems bad to me to have to configure such things myself. mfg Andreas Zwinkau | web: andi.dasstellenwirinsinternet.de | mail: andi(a)buxach.de | jabber: beza1e1(a)amessage.de

Yes, it is not too big to read, but the work behind integrating a patch is certainly bigger than the patch itself. Most of the time it involves reviewing some RFCs, the internal working structure of the browser in that matter, performance issues, impact, internal standards, future, an so on. IMHO, this is not my duty to do, but the patch sender's, and when I see it was done losely, certainly it discourages me from working on it. If it regards a matter with low priority, then I have one more reason... Now, considering that I have excellent patches in the queue to review (with versions, research, README, Documentation, explanations...), I feel really guilty for dedicating much time to other stuff, but I hope this explanation serves everyone. > Once more sorry.

Tabbed version of Dillo, remarks
by Frank de Lange June 19, 2003

June 19, 2003

One last thing before I go to sleep... As already stated in the documentation (doc/DilloDoc.txt, but who reads documentation anyway?), the tabbed version of Dillo sometimes (to be specific, when loading a tab in the background) produces Gdk_CRITICAL messages on stderr. Like these: Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkwindow.c: line 1274 (gdk_window_set_cursor): assertion `window != NULL' failed. These messages come from deep within dw_widget (line 706), and seem to be caused by an error/a bug in the widget. What seems to happen is that the widget tries to reset the cursor for a non-existing window (gdk_window_set_cursor (GTK_LAYOUT(viewport)->bin_window, NULL while the viewport does not yes have a bin_window defined). Sebastian, any input on this?

Sebastian, maybe dw_gtk_scrolled_window needs a method to remove the gadget? I re-use the BrowserWindow's full_screen_off_button gadget in all tabs (reparenting it when needed), but I have to forcibly NULLify the window->gadget attribute to be able to add a new gadget to a dw_gtk_scrolled_window. It is not 'right' to mess with interal widget structures... or am I missing something? The code does not seem to provide a way to remove the gadget once it has been defined.

[RFC] Plans for next version of tab patch
by Frank de Lange June 18, 2003

June 18, 2003

Hej! Now that the first release of my tab patch is 'out there', I'd like to give a short overview of my plans for the next version of this patch. I do not know when I'll be able to release this next version, as I'm busy this week, followed by a trip to the UK (back the 13th of juli), but I will try to make it relatively soon... Anyway, some plans: Architecture ------------ - further separate interface code out of document code (interface messages currently go directly to the interface, some mediation might be necessary) Functionality ------------- - focus tab contents on tab switch (so key navigation works correctly without having to first click in the tab pane) - focus location bar on switch to empty tab/new tab - new empty tab should show/focus, even when 'tab load in background' is set - after tab delete, switch to NEXT tab instead of PREVIOUS (like mozilla) Coding ------ - clean up code organisation (declarations before g_return/comments) Bugs ---- - full screen off widget does not show after tab switch in full screen (probably hidden, it IS reparented) There might be more, or less. Let me know. Jorge, let me know if/when you plan to commit the patch to CVS Sebastian, do you have any suggestions as to why dw_widget tries to set the cursor on a non-existing bin_window in the mouse event code? See my earlier message on the Gdk-CRITICAL messages which sometimes appear when opening a document in a tab in the background...

Anti-Tab
by Andreas Zwinkau June 18, 2003

June 18, 2003

I just want to throw in, that tabbing may be a bloat-feature. Just because every modern browser has it and everybody wants it, i needn't to be necessary. I watched a similar discussion some time ago and a wise argument convinced me, that tabbing is not a task for a browser. Before you call me loony, listen. Tabbing is about handling different windows, but handling windows is nothing a browser should do. Leave to the programs, which are made for especially that: Window Managers! Tabbing should not be implemented in a browser, but in the window manager. Sorry, if KDE and Gnome don't support it (i think, am i wrong?) Just my 2ct ;) mfg Andreas Zwinkau | web: andi.dasstellenwirinsinternet.de | mail: andi(a)buxach.de | jabber: beza1e1(a)amessage.de

Location entry shortcuts
by Johan Hovold June 18, 2003

June 18, 2003

Hi! First I'd like to say thank you to every developer of dillo. For a long time I've been looking for a small and fast browser, and the recent development of opera has made this need even more acute. I've been working on a few improvements to dillos interface, which I will submit shortly, but there one thing I could use some advice on. I'm not a great fan of extensive mouse usage and would therefore like to have a shortcut to focus the location entry. In Mozilla and Opera ctrl-l and F8 respectively, focuses the location entry and selects its contents. Is this the way to go for dillo? Or is it better with one accelerator for location entry "grab_focus" (just focus) and one for the clear button "clicked" (clear and focus). I you prefer the first variant; should this shortcut also be available from within the location entry (one could instead use ctrl-a, ctrl-k), or just when the main document window has focus? The reason for the last question is that the current key_press_handler which handles backspace and '/' is connected to the main document window, and hence doesn't receive signals from the location entry. When I tried to connect it to the main window, a backspace in a form (or in the location bar) would trigger "back". Why is this? Why doesn't the the current key_press_handler receive signals when entering text in a form? Johan Hovold

Suggestion for a next dillo version
by Manuel Serrano June 17, 2003

June 17, 2003

Hello there, first of all, many thanks for making Dillo available. I'm using it on a daily basis. It does almost anything I want of my web browser (nearly may be CSS2 but this is not the purpose of this mail :-). I like the new feature of 0.7.2 that enables to hide the navigation bar. I was wondering if it could be possible to have an automatic hidden bar such as in many window manager (fluxbox, kde, gnone, ...). That is the navigation bar is automatically hidden until the mouse fly over the very top lines. If the mouse fly over these lines, it automatically appears... Do you think that it would be difficult to implement this feature in a coming version? Many thanks in advance and one more time, thanks for making Dillo available. -- Manuel

IFRAME element stub
by Nikita V. Borodikhin June 17, 2003

June 17, 2003

Hi all Dillo developers ! There is a very small patch to support IFRAME HTML element.

[PATCH] Tabbed version of Dillo
by Frank de Lange June 17, 2003

June 17, 2003

FYI As promised, I now have a patch ready which implements tabbed browsing. The patch is quite big (173586 bytes, 42305 gzipped), so I think it is not a good idea to send it to the mailing list. As I currently do not have a webserver handy I can not put it on my site like I used to do when times were good and broadband was available (1-0 for The Netherlands - Sweden). Why is the patch so big? Well, it touches many files (37 source and header files, 6 other files) in Dillo, as it moves around some code and adds some more. The moving around is mostly due to the fact that, to implement tabs, I had to split 'document' from 'interface' logic in Dillo. In the current (non-patched) version of Dillo, the 'document' (everything related to a single browsing session in a single window) code is spread out over several files (interface.c, nav.c, web.c, html.c, plain.c, etc...). For tabs (and, later, frames) this does not work well, since a single browser window can contain several individual browsing sessions (tabs, frames (when implemented)). I solved this by putting all document-related stuff in a new abstraction, the 'DilloDoc' (defined in browser.h). DilloDoc contains the document-related stuff from BrowserWindow, progress data and document state info (the 'ready' bit) and - currently - the document-specific widgets (docwin, pagemark menu). Tab-specific stuff can be found in src/tab.c|h. As I know that not everybody wants to have tab functionality in the browser - it can also be implemented at the window manager level - I made the tabbed feature optional. To compile Dillo without tabs, use the --disable-tabs option, and there will be no tab-specific code in your binary. I did some tests with regard to 'code bloat' on the current, new (tabs disabled) en new (tabs enabled) versions of Dillo, which show a binary code size increase of about 7500 bytes for the tab feature. This is not to bad I think. The results of these tests can be found in the doc/Browser_Tabs.txt document (which comes with the patch). So, list, tell me what to do... Do you want your mailboxes to overflow, shall I send the patch to a select few, shall I wrap it in tar paper and bury it? I have already sent it to Jorge and the individuals who expressed interest in having a look at it, but I have had several requests from people on the list to send the patch to the list as well. As I have only a puny modem line here in Sweden, I do not relish the prospect of having to send the patch to loads of individuals. You decide. Oh, and I will be off-line between the 23d of june and the 13th of juli, so please let me know beforehand... Also, as the patch is against today's CVS version of Dillo, it has a relatively short shelf life. So, let me know, or (Jorge) apply it to CVS so others can have a go at it.

Tabbed version of Dillo

June 13, 2003

Hiya, I have finally found some time to work on my tabbed version of Dillo, which I mailed about last week. I hope to have it ready for first release in a few days. If anyone is planning extensive architectural changes to one of these files in the next few days, please let me know: interface.c html.c web.c nav.c plain.c cache.c capi.c browser.h Some other changes I made: - I separated the pagemark functionality into its own file, and renamed the functions from 'pagemarks' to a_Pagemark_... files pagemark.c/h - new files for tab and document functionality files tab.c/h, doc.c/h There is still quite a bit of 'interface' code in the document rendering path (just do a search for a_Interface_ and see from where these functions are called...). This needs to be dealt with for implementation of frames. I'm currently looking at this, but I will probably not implement it before I release the patch.

the #anchor links not going to history
by Jan Stary June 10, 2003

June 10, 2003

Hello, there seems to be the following problem with the history of browsing: If first.html contains a link <a href="second.html">, then clicking on it gets you to second.html - OK. If second.html contains a link <a href=#"anchor"> pointing to a place in second.html, then clicking on the link gets you to #anchor - OK. But then, when you press [,] to go back, you get back to first.thml. Definitely, you want [,] to get you back to the beginning of second.html. It looks like the #anchor links don't go into the 'stack of previous places'. I don't mean that second.html#anchor should be remembered as a unique record in browser history (e.g. for future runs, after dillo supports it), but definitely it's a step 'forward from second.html', so going 'back' should go to second.html, not first.html.

Workaround for bugs 396 & 445 (entities display)
by Nikita V. Borodikhin June 9, 2003

June 9, 2003

Hello, all Dillo developers ! As mentioned in HTML 4.01 spec what should be done when html renderer cannot display a symbol is up to renderer. Current code renders all characters with code 0..255 but skip all the others silently. I prefer lynx/links approach to this problem. If they should display symbol which cannot be displayed properly in current locale they render ascii-only representation of this symbol, e.g. "α" -> "a", "Χ" -> "X", "&lowast;" -> "*". Included small patch does that for all entities mentioned in html.c and this table is much more compact than links' one and does not allow transliteration of foreign language as links does. I believe that this patch is a temporary solution for this problem and when dillo migrates on GTK2 and this problem will be solved mush more reliable and elegant way by using standard symbol fonts via fontsets. I should mention also that if your encodings is not ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) then you should probably use Russian patch http://stuphead.asplinux.ru/dillo/index.html for localization. It shall be updated soon to translate entities to your encoding and show representations for others. Yours, Nikita

June 9, 2003

hi all! I'm new user dillo and the first question is the dillo can't connect remote host .I have set the file "dillorc" in the path ~/.dillo/dillorc : # Set the proxy information for http #http_proxy=http://localhost:8080/ http_proxy=http://localhost:8080/-------which need username and passwd; once I set the proxy as :http_proxy=http://proxy.neusoft.com:8080/ It still can't connect remote host. additional I set : # When using a proxy, this sets the domains to access without proxy. # (separated with a single space -- see examples below) #no_proxy = ".mynet.com" #no_proxy = ".mynet.com .other.net .foo.bar.org" no_proxy = ".web.neusoft.com"-----Url our company internal. all of those setting can't make dillo connect any host! could you help me sir ? ********************************************* Sincerely Yours Wang Xingqiang Embedded Software Division.

However dillo-0.7.2 dose not suport pango and is based on gtk-1.2 ,the most important is dillo dose not internationlize .Why this change can make dillo display chinese ?

Tabbed version of Dillo
by Frank de Lange June 6, 2003

June 6, 2003

FYI, I have added the often-requested 'tabbed browsing' feature to dillo. Even though it works fine, I want to finish the patch before I send it off for inclusion (or rejection, see below). To add this feature, I have created a new 'document' abstraction in Dillo, the 'DilloDoc'. This contains all data related to a single 'browser document' (including navigation history, etc), many parts of which used to reside in the 'BrowserWindow'. This was necessary to separate 'interface' functionality from 'document' functionality, as a tabbed browser can have 'document' activity going on in the background (eg. load a tab in the background while reading another tab, etc). When ready, I'll send a patch to jcid(a)softhome.net. <OT> I know that tabbed functionality can also be implemented at the window manager level, but I happen to like having it in the browser itself. It also saves memory compared to having several instances of Dillo loaded, which fits in nicely with Dillo's 'philosophy'. </OT> Cheers//Frank -- WWWWW ________________________ ## o o\ / Frank de Lange \ }# \| / +46-734352015 \ \ `--| _/ <Hacker for Hire> \ `---' \ +31-640037120 / \ frank(a)unternet.org / `------------------------' [ "Omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est." ]

HTTPS support
by Madis Janson June 6, 2003

June 6, 2003

I wrote a http to https proxy and simple patch to make dillo to start this up (when some https query is made) and forward https queries through unix domain socket to the proxy. Server certificate chains verification is not implemented (yet). It probably could be made into a dpi plugin in future, but currently dpi seemed to lack some needed properties (like forwarding full http querys with cookies to the proxy), which are used by the patch and proxy interface. oh and it could be get here: http://www.zone.ee/myzz/dillo/sslgw-0.1.tar.gz -- mzz
