Q: Thoughts on a user/password dialog for an HTTP AUTH dpi?
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Nov. 27, 2008

Nov. 27, 2008

I'm implementing an HTTP AUTH dpi (based on the cookies dpi) and I'd appreciate comments on how I'm doing it. (Motivation: (a) I'm tired of the irony of having to use Firefox to log on to the FLTK Trac Wiki to update the Dillo page, (b) this will be a useful primer for hacking on the https dpi.) The problem is that the dpi must prompt the user for a username and password but src/dialog.cc only supports dialogs that present a choice of buttons. I think I'll have to add a_Dialog_user_passwd() to src/dialog.cc to create a modal dialog, return the clicked button and write the contents of the dialog entries into a struct. Then I can add a wrapper for it to src/dpiapi.c and hook it into a_Capi_ccc(). That will let the dpi query the user. Is this a good way to do it or is there a smarter way? All comments and advice are welcome. Regards, Jeremy Henty

experimental patch: tooltip decodes urlencoded Location

For example, if you go to el.wikipedia.org, it redirects to http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9A%CF%8D%CF%81%CE%B9%CE%B1_%CE%A3%CE%B5%CE… and the location tooltip shows that this means http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/?????_??????

css todo
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de Nov. 23, 2008

Nov. 23, 2008

Hi, here's the current todo list: * convert more of html.cc and form.cc to the new style handling. see Html_tag_open_a() as an example. Basically every style change that happens due to an HTML attribute (e.g. bgcolor="black") should be handled by passing a corresponding hint in CSS form to the styleEnginge using the setNonCssHints() methods. This way these attributes can be overridden e.g. by the user stylesheet as defined in the CSS standard. Other styling that is fixed for the HTML element in question (e.g. font size changes caused by <small>) should be replaced by corresponding entries in the user-agent stylesheet (see CssContext::buildUserAgentStyle()). There is an example user-agent stylesheet at http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/sample.html One of the more complex parts to convert is list handling (Html_tag_open_li()). * Reenable shaded colors as default for table borders. However CSS21 states (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#border-color-properties) "If an element's border color is not specified with a border property, user agents must use the value of the element's 'color' property as the computed value for the border color." Not sure what to do here. What do you think? * Switch "width" and "height" handling from dw::core::style::Length to CssLength. Problem is how to handle relative lengths as they occur in Html_parse_length_or_multi_length(). They don't seem to exist in the CSS model. * Remove functions from html.cc that are now empty (e.g. Html_tag_open_em()). DilloHtml should be able to handle NULL for TagOpenFunct and TagCloseFunct of TagInfo. Or we could use a default function. * Enhance the CSS parser (or tokenizer) to properly ignore CSS comments. * Enhance the CSS parser to handle more complex CSS selector definitions (see http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html) * Figure out how to implement more complex selectors in the CssSelector class. At the same time think about how to speed up selector matching (currently on every opening tag all selectors are checked). Cheers, Johannes

New developers?
by jcid＠dillo.org Nov. 22, 2008

Nov. 22, 2008

Hi, Some people have written me expressing their will to join as developers. They have introduced themselves, asked questions and for some advice. I've answered, hinted and made suggestions. Since all of them have remained silent, I wonder whether they are concentrated studying the code, or simply changed their mind... Are you still there? -- Cheers Jorge.-

A warning about HTTPS and proxies
by corvid＠lavabit.com Nov. 21, 2008

Nov. 21, 2008

In the dillo 2.0 dillorc, I had written that HTTPS uses wget, and that configuring wget to use a proxy would therefore send https traffic through it. That's wrong; I was repeating outdated information. Right now, HTTPS will not use a proxy at all. I bring this to your attention in case it matters to those using Tor and the like. ------ In other news, have you noticed that the dillo website is particularly speedy now? Andreas turned on HTTP compression :)
