I'm sure that AIX has native threads, Yes, but our configure doesn't detect them yet. Although this should not be hard to do: Get the detected target system type string from the configure script. That is, near the third line of output, it says something like: checking target system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu Then add that option to "configure.in" inside the case statement for pthreads. Something like: [...] case $target in *-*-linux*|*-*-solaris*) AC_CHECK_LIB(pthread, pthread_create) ;; + *-*-aix*) + AC_CHECK_LIB(pthreads, pthread_create) + ;; [...] Then follow the directives at: http://home.t-online.de/home/Andreas.Steinmetz/unix/pthreads.html That is basically adding a call to pthread_init() somewhere in main() in dillo.c. Run autoreconf or autogen.sh, configure, make, tweak and send some feedback! :-) > but in any case -lpth > should be used to use libpth.

Against Pth, no. Cheers Jorge.-

by BRIGEDIER EVANS GIWA Jan. 7, 2004

Jan. 7, 2004

Dear sir, I PRESUME THIS LETTER WILL NOT BE A SURPRISE TO YOU. I am Brigedier Evans Giwa, a soldier by profession, formerly a director with the ministry of Mines and Natural Resources in SIERRA-LEONE before the out - break of the civil war in Sierra-Leone. When I was the director with that ministry, I acted as a link between foreign buyers of Diamonds and the Sierra-Leonian government, but ae a result of the civil war, I diverted the sum of US$36.5 million meant for Sierra-Leone government to a security company in Europe. All I need from you.: (1)Coming up with a viable business that we can invest this fund in. (2)To act as the beneficiary of the said money, as I cannot act in this capacity as I`m still directly or indirect involved in the peace negotiations going on in my country now. (3)To clear the money with the security company in Europe and lodge the money into an account we shall both run. After acknowledging this letter,and indicating your interest and willingness in my proposals, we shall arrange for a meeting in Europe to discuss your areas of interest and investment. As a christain, I will like to invest 20%of the money to help the less priviledged in the society.You willget 25% of the total money for your assistance and 5% will be set aside to offset whatever expenses incurred during the duratation of this transaction. Do kindly contact me through the below email address for further discussion and forsecurity reasons,this business remains confidential. Your Sincerly Brigedier.

Improved stability patch for dpi framework!
by Jorge Arellano Cid Jan. 5, 2004

Jan. 5, 2004

Hi Ferdi, (et all) After spending the last weeks hunting for some bugs in the dpi framework deeply, I've succeeded to track them down, and finally, to fix them! From time to time there were multiple dpid instances, this was due to a race condition while waiting for dpid to be "online"; if the process took around a second, dillo could end launching multiple instances of the daemon (I left a commented sleep in the dpid code that served to reliably reproduce it). Another nasty bug was that sometimes dillo crash-locked when requesting a dpi service, for instance: launch dillo -> ask for bm -> kill dpid -> ask for bm -> crash ...this was because of FD inheritance! The bm dpi survived, and kept its parent's FD open, so the connect-test succeeded but there was no server to answer. This couple was really hard to track. As a by-product, lsof showed a FD leak in dpi.c (one per dpi request) and another for dillorc. All of these bugs are fixed in CVS. The good news is that this is a big step towards 0.8.0 release because the stabilization of the dpi-framework is a necessity. There is still at least one pending thing to polish, but it is not a big problem to live with it in 0.8.0 because it causes little harm. This is: if dpid crashes (or is killed), the dpi servers will survive, but the new dpid will launch new processes for them (the old ones will last until their bore-time is reached). No crash, no locks. My first idea was to make a connection-test to dpi servers from dpid at start time, but unfortunately, the parent-child relationship would be lost for the second dpid, so we have to find another way to tell dpid that a dpi-server has finished. The "srs" may be used, although it may be a bit tricky to do when the dpi server has crashed; anyway, the connection test from dpid can detect the crash and bypass the old server with a new one. Cheers Jorge.-

It seems to be the G_GNUC_UNUSED directive. Remove lines 31 to 40 in mime.c. It should stop complaining about mime.c. If this is true, as I do expect, do the same with html.c and IO/Url.c. Please report me how it goes to fix it in current CVS. Cheers Jorge.-

Best wishes for year 2004
by Jorge Arellano Cid Dec. 31, 2003

Dec. 31, 2003

Hi There, It's early in the morning here in Chile, and I know that in Europe the clock is around 4 to 6 hours ahead, hopefully still in time to send my greetings and best wishes to all the people scattered around the world that participate of dillo-dev. Somewhere inside this december the Dillo project completed four years of existence and continued development. Please excuse me for not displaying a birthday cake picture at the home page; I didn't have the time, but the will to share and celebrate the event still remains! I spent the last months of this year making the arrangements to be able to keep working on dillo the 2004, and hopefully more... It seems that these efforts will flourish and let me work through this new year with renewed energies and hope: let 2004 be a great year for the Dillo project! Cheers & Best wishes to all! Jorge.-

It took me some time to review it (looks simple but it's not!), I also had to fix a bug... Cheers Jorge.- PS: further testing is welcome! ;)

Cache expire header...
by Tom Lisjac Dec. 24, 2003

Dec. 24, 2003

Hi All! I've written a small, Dillo friendly wiki/cms system in php that I'm hoping to release in a few weeks. During testing (today's cvs), I found that Dillo's cache wasn't expiring the dynamic pages. Here's the header I was initially using to disable client caching: header("Expires: Sun, 22 Mar 1998 20:00:00 GMT"); header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); header("Pragma: no-cache"); header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0"); With this header, Dillo's stdout messages reported "bad clocks"... so I tried sending the same date for Expires and Last-Modified. Dillo's stdout came back with: "Forcing min expire 60 on >the url< instead 0". What does that mean? I really need the content of certain pages to expire immediately when viewed. Any suggestions for the correct header parameters would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Tom
