Rogut?s Sparnuotos :
I have skimmed over hundreds of photos on flickr.com with both, vanilla dillo-2.1.1 and dillo-hg+connlimit2, with proxy and without. Browsing seems to work fine with all variations (I didn't try to analyze the packets), but I had a hard time trying to see the difference: I guess my internet connection is too fast and my X server too slow. Since I have a good internet connection, the images loaded faster without the patch, but sometimes the ones at the top of a page appeared sooner when the patch was applied.
Yes, that's expected. The purpose of the patch is not to improve loading speed or user experience, but to play nice with servers and infrastructure. Modern sites especially big ones like flickr are well prepared to handle the load caused by the few dillo users out there. Nevertheless it's important to use network resources in a sensible and compliant way.
Since dillo and the servers seem to work with unlimited connections, perhaps defaulting to a limit of 6 wouldn't hurt?
Yes, the current limit is certainly debatable. We could even make it configurable. Any opinions on this?
Dillo crashed twice in the beginning of my testing, but I am not sure anymore which build it was (because I've applied the gnutls-0.patch at first - https seemed to work). I couldn't reproduce the crashes afterwards.
Please keep an eye on potential crashes. Those need to be ironed out of course. Thanks for reporting back, Johannes -- Haiti-Nothilfe! Helfen Sie per SMS: Sende UIHAITI an die Nummer 81190. Von 5 Euro je SMS (zzgl. SMS-Geb?hr) gehen 4,83 Euro an UNICEF.
