another bug in bm_serv ?
by slymer＠slymer.org March 17, 2003

March 17, 2003

I think bm_serv has a problem adding a bookmark when the title of the page is more than 8 chars in length. For example, I have visited the LAME "encoder" home page and I wanted too bookmark it. The title of the resulting bookmark is "LAME Ain" instead of "LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder". Also if after adding it I try to set the name of the bookmark right bm_serv will act a bit funky by using 100% of my CPU and not sending the results of the modify command to dillo. I have to close dillo for bm_serv to behave normaly again and also if I check the bookmarks I see that modifying the bookmark's name worked afterall. -- Registered Linux user #298569 Let me do my TRIBUTE to FISHNET STOCKINGS ...

bm_srv and (') character
by Jorge Arellano Cid March 16, 2003

March 16, 2003

Hi, Sometime ago Raphael wrote: > i noticed one small thing: when clicking "bookmark this page" the > title of the bookmark is derived from the title of the html page. when > bookmarking a page with a "'" in it, every character, starting with > "'", gets cut out. for example "blue's news" is saved as "blue". Yes, that's a lack of implementation of character escaping. I gave it some thought and it seems like character suffing for the ' character could be enough for dpi tags. That is: <dpi cmd='add_bookmark' url='file:/tmp' title='tmp''s files'> Unfortunately I have no time now to code it! Cheers Jorge.-

[Patch]: SpamSafe and <base href=..> bug fix
by Melvin Hadasht March 15, 2003

March 15, 2003

Hi, The SpamSafe (-l command line) option is meant to refrain Dillo from retrieving remote resources (images). This works unless the original HTML contains a <base href=...> entity. In which case, the remote resources are unconditionally retrieved. In a older message (Message-Id: <20030221093243.435de32f.melvin.hadasht(a)free.fr>), I posted a corresponding test case. The attached patch fixes this misbehaviour by transmitting the URL_SpamSafe flag to the new BaseURL. The patch is against current CVS. Cheers. -- Melvin Hadasht

dillo on FreeBSD with --enable-ipv6
by Harold Gutch March 15, 2003

March 15, 2003

Hi, when enabling IPv6 on FreeBSD, dillo completely stops to work. With such a binary, not even IPv4 works anymore. I'm not really sure if this is a bug in dillo, or if it's in FreeBSD, but the third parameter to connect() apparently needs to be sizeof(struct sockaddr), which it originally is not (in src/IO/http.c:307). The attached patch makes dillo work again if I compile it with IPv6-support. All of this might apply to the other BSDs as well, and also to other OSes. Also, I don't quite think that this patch should break anything, so it should be safe to apply it. Oh, please CC me in any upcoming mails in this thread, since I'm not subscribed to the list. bye, Harold

Incorrect rendering of tables on fresco.org
by TheStar March 14, 2003

March 14, 2003

I have noticed that the tables at fresco.org are rendered incorrectly - in particular the "introduction" page. All the tables become _very_ thin - is this a non-standard page, or a to-be-worked bug in dillo? I understand that this site probably uses floating tables, but why are the tables so thin? Also, is it possible to use dillo as a plug-in in non-gtk apps? (ie: porting) I am not a fresco developer :) I'm just interested...

https approaches?
by Ami Fischman March 14, 2003

March 14, 2003

Hi there, SSL support is one of the biggest lacks in dillo for me. To that end, I'm thinking of adding it in. Without knowing the dillo codebase, I see two obvious options: 1) Add a src/IO/https.c file based on src/IO/http.c 2) Move http.c to using openssl's BIO's which can support either encrypted or clear traffic, as well as filters. 1 seems much more straightforward and will result in quicker https support, but will cause there to be a whole hell of a lot of code duplication between http.c & https.c. 2 seems like the more "moral" choice and will make dillo better, at the cost of making openssl necessary for dillo builds. Is anyone currently working on ssl support in dillo? Are you using either of the above two options? If the answer to the first question is negative, do people have feelings about code duplication vs. reliance on openssl? (of course, there's a third option of #ifdef'ing the hell out of http.c, adding BIO support that can be compiled out leaving the current plain socket-based code, but that would probably be more of a nightmare to maintain than 1) above). Cheers, -- Ami Fischman usenet(a)fischman.org

VERY URGENT
by Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha March 14, 2003

March 14, 2003

Dear Friend, I am Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha, wife to the late Nigerian Head of state, General Sani Abacha who died on the 8th of June 1998 while still on active service for our Country. l am contacting you with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me, I currently have within my reach the sum of 24 million U.S dollars cash which l intend to use for investment purposes outside Nigeria. This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my husband and a Russian firm in our country's multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta steel plant. The Russian partners returned my husbands share being the above sum after his death. Presently, the new civilian Government has intensified their probe into my husbands financial resources which has led to the freezing of all our accounts, local and foreign, the revoking of all our business licences and the arrest of my First son. In view of this I acted very fast to withdraw this money from one of our finance houses before it was closed down. I have deposited the money in a security company with the help of very loyal officials of my late husband. No record is known about this fund by the government because there is no documentation showing that we received such funds. Due to the current situation in the country and government attitude to my family, I cannot make use of this money within, thus I seek your help in transferring this funds out of the sub-African region. Bearing in mind that you may assist me, l have decided to part with 20% of the total sum. Your URGENT response is needed. Please include your personal phone and fax number. Regards, Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha

space in urls
by Ami Fischman March 12, 2003

March 12, 2003

Is there some reason why spaces are dropped from URLs in dillo? Most other browsers will convert such spaces to %20 (and similarly with other illegal URI characters) automagically. It's a convinience which some webmasters take for granted (and which breaks browsing with dillo). Cheers, -- Ami Fischman usenet(a)fischman.org

nowrap and prefs.limit_text_width
by Nicolas Kaiser March 11, 2003

March 11, 2003

Hi there! I'm having a little problem with sites that excessively make use of "nowrap" tags, like <http://futurezone.orf.at> I toyed with limit_text_width (quote from dillorc: # Set this to YES, if you want to limit the word wrap width to the vieport # width (may be useful for iPAQ) limit_text_width=YES ), but I noticed that this option doesn't work as I would have expected, because it doesn't force wrapping here (nowrap). Now I think in the context of this dillorc remark, it might be a good idea to override 'nowrap' when limit_text_width is wanted. Am I cruelly breaking standards, or would that make sense? Please have a look at the above site with limit_text_width=YES, and then with the below patch.

How to use dicache?
by William Trenker March 11, 2003

March 11, 2003

I copied dillorc into ~/.dillo/ and set "use_dicache=YES". I then went into Dillo (0.7.1) and went to Google. (I'm on a 33.6K modem connection so I can see the time it takes to load the Google logo). Then I went out of Dillo and back in again to the Google home page. The Google logo took just as long to draw as the first time. I thought that the dicache setting would keep the images in a cache. Obviously I don't understand how this is supposed to work. Bill

Line terminating characters
by John Bradford March 7, 2003

March 7, 2003

Within a <textarea> tag, Dillo seems to treat linefeeds, (0Ah), as the line separator, and displays carriage returns (0Dh), as a character unavailable glyph. I think this is wrong - in CDATA, isn't linefeed supposed to be ignored, and carriage return supposed to be the line separator? If you repeatedly send data submitted in a textarea tag, back to the browser in a textarea tag, you keep adding blank lines in to the data. John.

freezing of dillo.0.7.0
by robert w hall March 6, 2003

March 6, 2003

Is the description of the 'freezing' of dillo given in the README an uptodate description of the problem. This implies that it is a kernel version effect... I originally compiled dillo0.6.6 against slack 7, kernel 2.4.5 (IIRC, or even 2.2.18) with no problems. However dillo0.7.0 does freeze, even when compiled against the headers for, and run under, kernel 2.4.19. BUT it compiles and runs ok when compiled under slack8.1, with the same headers and kernel. Is this a gcc problem? (I'm using 2.91.66 with slack 7). (The suggested patch poll-fix-fast of course does not run in cleanly against 0.7.0., and though the source compiles the executable still freezes). Sorry if I've missed something on this. Bob Hall PS it all compiles fine on the playstation2 linux kit with the 2.2.21 kernel, and a real old gcc -- robert w hall

More bugfixes
by Jorge Arellano Cid March 5, 2003

March 5, 2003

Hi there! I've been reviewing the bugtrack and receiving a lot of emails with regard to problems with solaris. There were several issues, some solved in CVS and others that escape our scope (Solaris is so inconsistent that some versions require certain libraries that others not, some fail, some work...) If someone has the patience to tweak configure.in to detect the different subversions of Solaris and add the magical options, I'd put it in. Just read the ChangeLog for a brief of the fixes. --------------------------------------------------- NOTE: There're lots of fixes, not just for Solaris. --------------------------------------------------- Please send me feedback about how it went. Sadly I just received _one_ mail report. Andreas: Please test the flock patch. It should work with *BSD as it defines flock(). Sebastian: Please review BUG#424, Keith says it's a trivial fix. Ah, can anyone reproduce/not_reproduce bug 406? Has anyone with a 64bit machine had NO trouble at all? :-) Cheers Jorge.-

Probably (soon) socket file descriptors will reside in /tmp/dillo and use temporary filenames, or something akin (this also solves the problem of a pre-existent file with the same name). > Thanks for the great software! > I appreciate dillo - it is small, fast and functional. Thanks for your nice comments too. Cheers Jorge.-

I digged through the historical releases and the root of the problem is very far (before 0.3.2!). As I currently see it, the SGML type for those INPUT attribute values is CDATA, so entities SHOULD/MUST be parsed!!! Does anyone know otherwise? Cheers Jorge.-

Question about dpi interface ...
by Lars Segerlund March 5, 2003

March 5, 2003

If I have dillo 0.7.0 with the bookmarks working through dpi, how can I add dpi functionality ? Can I make a dpi server without modyfying the dillo binary ? / rgards, Lars Segerlund.

BUGFIX set close_on_exec (FD_CLOEXEC)
by Raphael Barabas March 2, 2003

March 2, 2003

hello, in my neverending search for the perfect browser i stumbled across dillo. it looks great and quite usable, altough it's still alpha. unfortunately dillo 0.7.0 won't run on solaris8 (ultra30), so i wrote a fix. turns out every other os is affected by this bug, too. solaris just seems to be less forgiving in this matter :) to compile on solaris you may also need some workarounds, take a look at bugreports 402, 413 and 415. problem: solaris: see bugreport 416, dillo enters endless loop on startup, repeating "IO_write: Changing io->Buf (0)" linux: no immediate effect, although some filedescriptors are in state "open" for too long. i've not really looked into it but this should have negative effects in the long run. reason: in IO.c, function IO_submit, filedescriptor-flag close_on_exec is not set the right way (not at all). on solaris, as a direct result, non-blocking io will accidentally be handled via O_NDELAY instead of O_NONBLOCKING, resulting in an endless loop. patch: *** IO.c.org Sat Mar 1 21:56:13 2003 --- IO.c Sat Mar 1 21:56:54 2003 *************** *** 530,536 **** /* Set FD to background and to close on exec. */ fcntl(r_io->FD, F_SETFL, ! O_NONBLOCK | FD_CLOEXEC | fcntl(r_io->FD, F_GETFL)); if ( r_io->Op == IORead ) { g_io_add_watch(r_io->GioCh, G_IO_IN | G_IO_ERR | G_IO_HUP, --- 530,538 ---- /* Set FD to background and to close on exec. */ fcntl(r_io->FD, F_SETFL, ! O_NONBLOCK | fcntl(r_io->FD, F_GETFL)); ! fcntl(r_io->FD, F_SETFD, ! FD_CLOEXEC | fcntl(r_io->FD, F_GETFD)); if ( r_io->Op == IORead ) { g_io_add_watch(r_io->GioCh, G_IO_IN | G_IO_ERR | G_IO_HUP, disclaimer: this bugfix has been tested briefly on debian gnu/linux 2.4.20 and solaris 8. please review my code for correctness. also note that bugreport 417 has been proven wrong by this. regards, raphael

patch for POSIX file lock
by yangguilong March 2, 2003

March 2, 2003

I'm compiling dillo on Cygwin, which lacks of flock/lockf, but has support for POSIX file lock (fcntl()). To enable the cookies support, I write a patch for it. In hope that it will be useful for other platform having similar situation. diff -Nurp dillo-0.6.6/src/cookies.c dillo-0.6.6-cygwin/src/cookies.c --- dillo-0.6.6/src/cookies.c 2002-05-28 04:47:50.000000000 +0800 +++ dillo-0.6.6-cygwin/src/cookies.c 2003-03-01 10:23:56.000000000 +0800 @@ -130,6 +130,9 @@ void a_Cookies_init() GList *domain_cookies; char *filename; char line[LINE_MAXLEN]; +#ifndef HAVE_LOCKF + struct flock lck; +#endif Cookie_control_init(); @@ -145,7 +148,16 @@ void a_Cookies_init() } /* Try to get a lock from the file descriptor */ +#ifdef HAVE_LOCKF disabled = (lockf(fileno(file_stream), F_TLOCK, 0) == -1); +#else /* POSIX lock */ + lck.l_start = 0; /* start at beginning of file */ + lck.l_len = 0; /* lock entire file */ + lck.l_type = F_WRLCK; + lck.l_whence = SEEK_SET; /* absolute offset */ + + disabled = (fcntl(fileno(file_stream), F_SETLK, &lck) == -1); +#endif if (disabled) { DEBUG_MSG(10, "The cookies file has a file lock:\n" " disabling cookies in this dillo!\n"); @@ -278,6 +290,9 @@ static gboolean Cookies_freeall_cb(gpoin void a_Cookies_freeall() { int fd; +#ifndef HAVE_LOCKF + struct flock lck; +#endif if (disabled) return; @@ -288,7 +303,16 @@ void a_Cookies_freeall() g_hash_table_foreach_remove(cookies, Cookies_freeall_cb, NULL); +#ifdef HAVE_LOCKF lockf(fd, F_ULOCK, 0); +#else /* POSIX file lock */ + lck.l_start = 0; /* start at beginning of file */ + lck.l_len = 0; /* lock entire file */ + lck.l_type = F_UNLCK; + lck.l_whence = SEEK_SET; /* absolute offset */ + + fcntl(fileno(file_stream), F_SETLKW, &lck); +#endif fclose(file_stream); } --------------------------------------------- »¶Ó¹âÁÙ http://www.cmmail.com

Great work on Dillo! (fwd)
by Jorge Arellano Cid March 1, 2003

March 1, 2003

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 10:02:07 -0500 From: Alwyn Kerr <alkerr(a)yifan.net> To: jcid(a)softhome.net Subject: Great work on Dillo! Hi there, I'm writing to express how happy I am with Dillo. I'm a HUGE fan of software that is light-weight and Dillo would have to be the smallest, functional browser I've ever used. I find that it is especially useful for browsing documentation that's saved as a stack of HTML pages on disk. I mostly use it for reading the GTK API docs. when developing GTK applications. Anyway, before I'm done I was just wondering if future versions of Dillo might make tabs available for multiple pages? Once again, keep up the good work and please extend my happiness to the rest of the development team.
