Refresh via external signal?
Greetings again! If I have an instance of Dillo already running, is there a way for an external program to tell it to browse a certain URL? I'm trying to "drive" Dillo from another application as part of a mobility-impaired application... Thanks! b.g. -- Bill Gatliff bgat@billgatliff.com
Like, if it were AppleScriptable? That would be cool. -----Original Message----- From: dillo-dev-bounces@dillo.org on behalf of Bill Gatliff Sent: Mon 3/20/2006 9:19 PM To: dillo-dev@dillo.org Subject: [Dillo-dev] Refresh via external signal?

Hi again.

No there isn't yet.

The idea is similar to that of audio (and I've thought of it in the past because of support for help systems). The idea is to start dillo with a command line switch, let's say: ./dillo -remote to let it open a socket using the dpid. That way, an external program can communicate with Dillo using this socket. Once again, manpower is required to make it. -- Cheers Jorge.-

That sounds like exactly what I need.

Well, with any luck this project will get the green light and then it'll be my job to be your manpower for a while! b.g. -- Bill Gatliff bgat@billgatliff.com

Someone wrote a patch for Dillo 0.7.1 that does something similar at http://xemacs.seanm.ca/ I modified it a while back to apply to 0.8.4 and posted my version at http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/modified.html -- though I haven't tested it. It might be a good starting point for someone who wants to work on it. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org
