sending referer

Hello, why does Dillo not send the referer header? Without it, I cannot use the http://validator.w3.org/check/referer link, as appearing on the bottom of my pages. This is the only problem which keeps mozilla on my machine. Thank you Jan

[PATCH] Version 15 of tab/frame/kbnav/etc patch, now with keywords and more...
by Frank de Lange Dec. 19, 2003

Dec. 19, 2003

Hi'all, The next version (15) of my tab/frame/keyboard navigation patch is ready (see bottom of this message for download instructions). This release incorporates a number of bug fixes to keyboard navigation, in response to feedback on the list. It also fixes several other bugs (see non-exhaustive list further down). And, last but not least, there are several new features: keywords, use of location bar for search, local document handling on location bar, user configurable '_blank' target, repeated search, many more configurable key bindings, etc... /* ATTENTION */ This is the first release *without the conditional compile options* for tabs and frames. Tabs, frames and keyboard navigation are standard now, and there is no provision to compile Dillo without support for these features. This is a BIG patch, with many changes. Please test it, and tell me (through the list) about any problems. New features ------------ - keywords Keywords can be used to access sites and locations with short commands in the location bar (and elsewhere). They are defined in the dillorc as a space-separated list of keyword:url pairs: keywords = "<keyword>:<url> <keyword>:<url> ..." %s is in url is replaced by (escaped) location bar contents Example: (in dillorc) keywords="s:http://www.google.com/search?q=%s" "s dillo patch" in the location bar will execute a search on google for the words 'dillo patch'. There is one default keyword, "search". This corresponds to the search_url preference. The web search feature has been changed to use the new code. Keywords currently work in the location bar, in the "open url" window and *from the command line*. This way you can search the web from the command line: dillo "search whatever you want to search for" (enter) [ programming info ] To add keyword processing to a url, you need to make an explicit call to a_Url_string_process_keywords(gchar *str). I explicitly did NOT add the keyword processing code to the default url code path, so keywords can not be initiated through external links. Better safe than sorry... - local file handling in the location bar: type a valid absolute path in the location bar and it will be transformed into a valid file: url. [ programming info ] To add local path processing to a url, you need to make an explicit call to a_Url_string_process_local(gchar *str, gboolean relative) Set relative to TRUE to include relative path processing (from the current directory) to the code path. - location bar search using keywords and/or with popup_dialogs=NO. If you have popup_dialogs=NO in dillorc, pressing the search button on the toolbar or using the search key combination (ALT-s) will search the web for whatever you typed in the location bar (if you have entered search terms) or focus the location bar with the search keyword set. In the latter case just add search terms and press enter to search. - location bar contents are selected when it is focused, deselected when the content area is focused. - the contents of the findtext and websearch entries are selected when they are re-opened. Type a new search term to replace the old term. Use the cursor keys to deselect the contents when you want to add to the existing search term. - the splash screen no longer lives in the binary (as suggested by Indan Zupancic). It is installed by the makefile and should be distributed with dillo. The default location is in the 'sharedstate' directory (default /usr/share/dillo/dillo.html). There is a preference for those who want to change this: splash = NO | <url> This takes any url. Set it to NO to suppress the splash screen alltogether (you will still be able to get to the splash screen by visiting about:splash). The default value is defined in prefs.h: #define DILLO_SPLASH "file:/usr/share/dillo/dillo.html" - There is a new preference for control of the "_blank" tag and handling of new windows in general (as suggested by Andreas Schweitzer): target_blank = SELF | TAB | [WINDOW] Set this to "self" to disable the "_blank" target (no more new windows popping up all around). The other two settings are self-explanatory I guess... This also works for documents opened using the middle mouse button, and documents opened on the command line. For the latter the "self" setting is ignored (it defaults to new windows in that case). - Repeated search by pressing CTRL-g at any time. Unhiglight search by pressing Escape. If search resulted in a highlighted link, this will be unhighlighted as well (to follow that link, press Enter instead of Escape). - many more configurable key bindings. To avoid overloading the scrolled_frame with content-related signals I added a general 'content_command' signal, which gets passed one parameter of type DilloCommand (defined in commands.h). To adjust a keybinding for a command, set a key for the signal 'content_command' for the widget named 'dillo-content' (or for the class GtkDwScrolledFrame). As an example the following binding sets the 'F3' key for the 'repeat find' command (like it does in Mozilla): key_bindings = "binding 'mozilla-keys' { bind 'F3' { 'content_command' (9) } ... (add more bindings if needed) ... } widget '*dillo-content' binding 'mozilla-keys'" There are currently 30 available commands: DILLO_COMMAND_NAVIGATE_BACK, /* 0 */ DILLO_COMMAND_NAVIGATE_FORWARD, /* 1 */ DILLO_COMMAND_NAVIGATE_RELOAD, /* 2 */ DILLO_COMMAND_NAVIGATE_STOP, /* 3 */ DILLO_COMMAND_NAVIGATE_HOME, /* 4 */ DILLO_COMMAND_DUPLICATE_WINDOW, /* 5 */ DILLO_COMMAND_DUPLICATE_TAB, /* 6 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FINDTEXT, /* 7 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FINDTEXT_INCREMENTAL, /* 8 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FINDTEXT_REPEAT_LAST_SEARCH, /* 9 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FINDTEXT_UNHIGHLIGHT, /* 10 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SAVE, /* 11 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SAVE_LINK, /* 12 */ DILLO_COMMAND_BOOKMARK, /* 13 */ DILLO_COMMAND_NEW_WINDOW, /* 14 */ DILLO_COMMAND_NEW_TAB, /* 15 */ DILLO_COMMAND_OPEN_FILE, /* 16 */ DILLO_COMMAND_OPEN_URL, /* 17 */ DILLO_COMMAND_OPEN_LINK, /* 18 */ DILLO_COMMAND_OPEN_LINK_NEW_WINDOW, /* 19 */ DILLO_COMMAND_OPEN_LINK_NEW_TAB, /* 20 */ DILLO_COMMAND_CLOSE_WINDOW, /* 21 */ DILLO_COMMAND_CLOSE_TAB, /* 22 */ DILLO_COMMAND_EXIT, /* 23 */ DILLO_COMMAND_TAB_PREVIOUS, /* 24 */ DILLO_COMMAND_TAB_NEXT, /* 25 */ DILLO_COMMAND_VIEW_SOURCE, /* 26 */ DILLO_COMMAND_VIEW_BOOKMARKS, /* 27 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_LOCATION, /* 28 */ DILLO_COMMAND_WEBSEARCH, /* 29 */ DILLO_COMMAND_TOGGLE_FULLWINDOW /* 30 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_ACTIVATE, /* 31 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_ACTIVATE_NEW_WINDOW, /* 32 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_ACTIVATE_NEW_TAB, /* 33 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_POPUP, /* 34 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_HIDE, /* 35 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_MOVE_UP, /* 36 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_MOVE_DOWN, /* 37 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_MOVE_LEFT, /* 38 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_MOVE_RIGHT, /* 39 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_MOVE_TAB_BACK, /* 40 */ DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_MOVE_TAB_FORWARD, /* 41 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_UP, /* 42 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_DOWN, /* 43 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_LEFT, /* 44 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_RIGHT, /* 45 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGE_UP, /* 46 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGE_DOWN, /* 47 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGE_LEFT, /* 48 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_PAGE_RIGHT, /* 49 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_EDGE_TOP, /* 50 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_EDGE_BOTTOM, /* 51 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_EDGE_LEFT, /* 52 */ DILLO_COMMAND_SCROLL_EDGE_RIGHT /* 53 */ If you'd like to see any other commands, tell me or the list! [programming info] To add a new command, simply add the name to the DilloCommand enum, add a handler to a_Commands_handler() and, optionally, add a default key binding to a_Commands_init(). The commands.[ch] files are in a bit of a state of flux, as many commands are currently present in two forms: one with a *dd interface, the other (older) with a *bw interface. Where appropriate the older (*bw) versions can and will be removed - the View Source window can now be closed by pressing Escape. View source is (over)due for an overhaul by the way. I might implement the view-source protocol in one of the next patches. - Tab movement is now cyclic, thanks to a patch by Stephan Goetter - the Frame context menu now has navigation controls (as suggested by Stephan Goetter), so it is possible to go back in the frame history. The main history is not yet synchronised with frame actions. [LIST: Is this necessary? Should the 'back' button and menu remember actions inside nested frames or should it do what it does now, remember actions in the top-level document?] - Keyboard navigation can be used to popup context menus, as suggested by Melvin Hadasht. The default binding for context menu is Alt-Enter (and Alt-KP_Enter). The related DILLO_COMMAND is DILLO_COMMAND_FOCUS_POPUP. Fixed bugs ---------- keyboard navigation - all known segfaults - most 'weird navigation order' problems - related issue (now fixed in CVS): a_Findtext_search returned FALSE (instead of FINDTEXT_NOT_FOUND) when a search was performed on an empty page. Since this function is supposed to return a FindtextResult enum value (and the first value in that enum is FINDTEXT_SUCCESS) this made the focus code try to focus a link in an empty page leading to a segfault in the scrolled_window. document abstraction - a problem with tab/page duplication which had the potential to cause segfaults is fixed - selection copy did not work because I forgot to set the owner for the selection in tab mode. This is fixed. REMOVED PREFERENCES =================== These preferences have been removed from the patch. Update your dillorc if you used them. Complain to me (on the list) if you want them back. * tab_instead_of_window: merged into the new target_blank pref * focus_location_on_new: did anyone use the NO setting? * tab_bar_homogeneous: did anyone use the NO setting? * compress_vowels: can be changed during compile if needed, COMPRESS_VOWELS in src/misc.h CHANGED KEY COMBINATIONS ======================== * Internet search: ALT-s (was CTRL-g, CVS CTRL-s) * Repeat search CTRL-g (was nothing, CVS nothing) * View source: ALT-u (was CTRL-u, CVS nothing) * Open URL: CTRL-l (was SHIFT-CTRL-l, CVS CTRL-l) * focus location bar: CTRL-u (was CTRL-l, CVS CTRL-u) If you want the old keys back, add a binding for the related command (see above) If something doesn't work they way it should (or the way you *think* it should), I want to know!

More information on tabs can be found in doc/Browser_Tabs.txt, for frames see doc/Browser_Frames.txt. The mailing list archives are also a good place to look for answers to questions relating to this patch.

Automake and dynamic linking
by Jorge Arellano Cid Dec. 18, 2003

Dec. 18, 2003

Hi guys, I just noticed that out automake process ends linking all the libraries required by dillo to dpid and every dpi! For instance: $ldd dpid libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x4001f000) libpng.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 (0x40071000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x4009b000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x400b8000) libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0x400c5000) libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0x401e3000) libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0x40214000) libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x40218000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40239000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4023c000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4024a000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40311000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40334000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) Wow! And the kernel reports: VmSize: 4684 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 1160 kB VmData: 304 kB VmStk: 16 kB VmExe: 24 kB VmLib: 4208 kB This means that resident dpis (servers) can end wasting virtual memory after dillo exits by retaining unused libs in VmLib. If someone here can make a patch for this problem, it'd be a great time saver. Please? :-) Cheers Jorge.-

wanted: CPU overhead source.
by Jorge Arellano Cid Dec. 17, 2003

Dec. 17, 2003

Hi, I just noticed that utilities.html (from ImageMagick manual), takes near three times more time to render with CVS than with 0.7.3. That page is 230KB and has no images. It takes 3 seconds to render with 0.7.3 vs 9 seconds of CVS (on a slow machine). The same is true for the new and old parser. Can somebody please profile it to find the overhead source? (./configure --enable-gprof). TIA Jorge.-

*BSD and gethostbyname
by Jorge Arellano Cid Dec. 13, 2003

Dec. 13, 2003

Hi, Some *BSD don't provide a reentrant gethostbyname: <q source='manpage of a BSD'> BUGS These functions use static data storage; if the data is needed for future use, it should be copied before any subsequent calls overwrite it. Only the Internet address format is currently understood. </q> The only one I know that doesn't work is openBSD >= 3.3. (produces random lookups) Does anyone know the situation better? It is for disabling threaded dns lookups at configure time. Cheers Jorge.- PS: That's it.

Unfortunately I don't think I'm familiar enough with neither Dillo nor the configure system to add such a functionality. It took several days for me to track down the widget bug (#494), and several hours of testing to figure out this gethostbyname() bug. > Or at least the contents of the detected $target variable on > your machine (an extra line with "echo $target" after > AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM will tell). sparc64-unknown-openbsd3.3 The same problem should exist in other BSDs as well, but I've not actually seen the symptoms. The manpages of FreeBSD 4.5 and NetBSD-current (after 1.6.1) have the following in their gethostbyname(3) manpages: BUGS These functions use static data storage; if the data is needed for future use, it should be copied before any subsequent calls overwrite it. Only the Internet address format is currently understood. Imho, if Dillo aims for platform independance, which is one of the things I like best about Dillo, this feature (multithreaded DNS lookups) would be better off disabled _unless_ the underlying platform explicitly allows it. Not the other way around. That's my opinion, anyway. Anders

[PATCH] I18N
by Kiyo Dec. 12, 2003

Dec. 12, 2003

Hi. I made an I18N patch for Dillo. This is simple I18N. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Greek, etc. Only LOCALE character are displayed. Not support "complicated languages". (such as Arabic) Internal code is mainly processing by UTF-8. UTF-8 wrapper of a part of APIs of GTK+1 is included. This wrapper will be unnecessary if Dillo ports to FLTK2 or GTK+2. But, I think that others will be probably needed. A part of this patch referred to Mr. Robert Thomson's Japanese patch. It is better to also gettextize. But, it has not applied to this patch. http://teki.jpn.ph/pc/software/dillo-cvs2003121203-i18n.diff.bz2 md5sum: 5a1e0428d0e049a081dd4721d48b1de2 and... For Core team, may not be desirable... This is large patch for Dillo-0.7.3 . I18N(UTF-8 support and gettext) Xft antialiasing(multibyte support) Setting Tool(gtk+) frame&tab(ver.10 with I18N fix) gzip compression transmission SearchBox UserAgent changer Referer meta-refresh SSL BASIC authorization Fix page scroll Character entity references(Probably almost is supported. but it's dependent on LOCALE.) and some various changes. Various persons' patches are unified and an original improvement is added. http://teki.jpn.ph/pc/software/dillo-0.7.3-i18n-misc-20031208.diff.bz2 md5sum: 0d3bdf88a3e61a4659e708ac4a971c1f #I'm hoping that both user and developer can become happy :-) --- Kiyo<kiyo(a)teki.jpn.ph> http://teki.jpn.ph/
