latest network patch
by Jorge Arellano Cid Dec. 11, 2003

Dec. 11, 2003

Hi there! A network patch that covers several aspects was just commited: + Connected the dpi stream to the cache using the CCC! + Fixed the cache API by introducing the new call a_Capi_get_buf(). + Fixed a race condition and a multiple request problem. + Enabled the https dpi (it doesn't work yet, just a development version). + Removed a cpu-hog when the network is unreachable. Besides what's stated above, it has improved a bit the network experience (for instance on sites with lots of small images. For ex. newspapers). Please test it and tell me how it works. Anders: Please try it and tell us if it also produces the locks you've seen. Does 0.7.3 also lock? Ferdi: It has the proper bindings between the cache and dpi, so HTML served over FTP works, among others! Some https sites are also viewable... Madis: This patch has the framework to implement https in a similar way than the ssl gateway. The connection between dillo and the https dpi is done by the generic dpi handler. Note that although it may be easy to add the POST method using wget to the current https dpi (wget >= 1.9.x using --post-data and the DilloUrl), making a native https plugin (avoiding wget) as in the ssl gatway is preferred. This allows for a simple way to implement connection caching. The current https dpi is a filter, not a server as it should to implement it this way. This is also easy to do. Regards Jorge.-

i would like to see in addition to the forward and backward navigation buttons, one that goes to the parent directory, like konqueror does, and galeon if i am not mistaken :) thanks for a terrific application -- GR I have seen the future and it is just like the present, only longer. -- Kehlog Albran

There was a race condition hidden behind the lack of dpi-cache connection (the part we blamed) and a slightly broken API (the cloaked problem). As a matter of fact this bug had remained unnoticed maybe for years. In my patched tree (which is under test), the bug is fixed (both parts) and dillo works even better than before. > I think I have a new solution to the inf loop caused when a connection is not > accepted on a dpi socket for any reason.

dead link behavior

Greetings all, Was wondering if it is me or if it was normal. If I click a link and it turns out to be a dead link.....everything locks up hard and I have to 'xkill' Dillo. Thanks, -- ~~~Pete~~~ http://milneweb.com http://nomorevirus.com

Doesn't happen here. Are you using 0.7.3 or CVS? With IPv6 or default? Has anyone seen this bug? Cheers Jorge.-

Tell me, if I recall, there is a way to view frames in Dillo...correct? Would love to use it for Squirrelmail. Would actually be willing to use another web based, imap mail client too. -- ~~~Pete~~~ http://milneweb.com http://nomorevirus.com

Yes, that's the right way to do it, but I don't know how yet :) I commited a patch that tests for gcc version 3. Please test it and tell us. Cheers Jorge.-

It does partly! (with the dpi-cache patch I'm developing). I'm planning to develop https.dpi as a dpi server so it can directly link against SSL lib or GNU TLS, instead of using wget. This ends the forking and allows for an easy implemetation of connection caching. BTW, https pages render OK with my tree, it's just the lack of reuse of the same connection what I suspect keeps it from working fully. I need to test a bit more too. Note: is there anybody here interested in working on the https dpi. I can quickly make the base (dpi server instead of filter) and then is a matter of knowing SSL or TLS and start implementing connection caching (no need to know about dillo internals). > [...] > > > The idea is interesting.

I'll double check that.

It needs polishing but illustrates the idea pretty good. You'd be surprised at how simple it is. BTW, it was developed by a complete newcomer to dillo I was advicing. I'll send it to you and Sebastian (to illustrate part of a response I owe him about preferences). List: I'll review the latest version and decide whether to share it in its current state for polishing. The required knowledge to work on it is minimal: just GTK+ (the server part is already done). More on this later...
