When I tried to add Indans https patch, it didn't work. Too old. Two weeks ago I tried the same. At that time the problem was the opposite!
Plain bad luck, Jorge just changed those files enough, and I was bussy with making a pc stable and upgrading it, all my Dillo files are backuped on another pc now, it's a slight mess. :) Also I want to merge the read/write IOData structures, and change to the GDK API, if Jorge and others agree with that. If that's going to change then updating my https patch now is a waste of time, because relatively much is going to change (the https patch will shrink incredibly :).
But in my humble oppinion either Dillo should release official minor version (0.7.4, 0.7.5 etc) more often so privateers can offer patches against these, or go along with this suggestion of Indans and support a semi-official patch model.
More often is not the point, Dillo is relatively close to 0.80 and far away from 0.73, so this seems to be just an unfortunate time for patches. Normally you should just use the 0.73 patches. There is no 0.73 https patch from me because I'm not happy with the current implementation, caused by all the hassle with keeping the two IOData structures synced and GTK's io channel annoyance. If there are fewer official Dillo versions it's easier to keep all the patches up to date. Actually, all what is needed is a cvs tag for each stable release, and maybe some extra tag for sort of beta versions that can be used for patches if it turns out that the official releases are not often enough for the patches. This way it's clear for the patches what Dillo version to use, so all can be relatively easily kept synchronized (at least for what Dillo version the patches use). Having a central place for all Dillo patches is always useful, because that way it's easier to find and use them for users. Centralised isn't the same as semi-official, it's a united effort of the patch makers. And that means they probably have something betters to do, say, improving their patch and keeping it up to date with cvs. ;) Greetings, Indan P.S. Seems like I just can't write short mails. :(
