Great. Qualified manpower is always welcomed. think i can code the "Medium priority" "Make cookies into a dpi server" task. Is somebody intersted in it too? If we are more the work can be done fast an it is less to every one. It has being waiting for a long time, so just pick it.
I want to start a short talk in the list before coding it. what features do this task need-not need? I think that a good change can be to use the netscape-mozilla-firefox-galeon-etc cookies file format. So some utilities can work better with dillo. For example wget can use cookies in this format and wget is used by dillo. Or even use a external program that exist yet to manage cookies. (gtkcookie for example. I do not have test the program anyway)
OK, it's no problem to change the cookies file format. The one you cite is plain text and quite straightforward. The main point of making cookies into a dpi is to allow every single different dillo running to do cookies. Currently only the first one is allowed to do it. (secondary gains are: dillo's core gets smaller. The dpi can be changed/improved independently). Basically it's a matter of getting cookies.c into a dpi and make the cookie request through dpip. Not that hard. Just look at the bookmarks dpi ('chat') and the hello example. Don't worry about the port to FLTK because dpis are independent of GUI toolkit, so they work perfectly untouched. I'd suggest you to create your own "fake" dpip commands (the minimum possible set), while developing and testing it, and after that you cantact me and I do the bindings. Thanks for your help offer, and welcome aboard. -- Cheers Jorge.-
