well i admit that either i am blind or can't look correctly but in cvs i do not see any patches.

i was told there several patches out there for dillo

There are... They are just not advertised on the main Dillo site (unfortunately). Google for dillo patch and you'll find quite a few. For starters I can point to my patch page, which hosts the tab + frame patch: http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/ This patch adds tabbed browsing and (i)frame support to Dillo, as well as some other minor improvements (interactive search, option to use status bar for search instead of popup window, etc). Other people have patched Dillo for Japanese language, external program launching, HTTP AUTH support, image resizing (like Opera), and more. There is also a new fork which adds support for MacOS X and Windows. Just browse through the mailing list archives for some more information...

Hi! I got a patch/bugfix for dillo 0.7.3 Problem: When visiting PHPBB boards such as www.c-plusplus.de/forum/ or other messageboards in general (www.buahaboard.net) dillo does not save the cookies. They are only stored in memory, so after a restart you have to login again (which rendered dillo basically useless for me) Problem cause: After looking at the cookies these boards wanted to place I realized their date was somehow 2 hours back in time, so they were already expired for dillo. Well, the webmasters are to blame again. The cookies were discarded in cookies.c, Cookies_create_timestamp, line 388following it just returned 0, indicating the timestamp is invalid, thus discarding the cookie. Making it return a valid time (eh, not that valid anyway) solves this problem: cookies.c, line 388 else { //~ DEBUG_MSG(5, E_msg); // WAS: LINE 388 //~ return (time_t) 0; // WAS : LINE 389 // i do not pretend to understand this, but hey, it works year = -2069; month=-1; hour=minutes=seconds=-1; day=1; day += (year - 1968) * 1461 / 4; day += ((((month * 153) + 2) / 5) - 672); ret = (time_t)((day * 60 * 60 * 24) + (hour * 60 * 60) + (minutes * 60) + seconds); return ret; } Sorry for not knowing about the linux time stamp, but i just had no interest to learn that stuff yet. If someone wants to explain it, go on! And of course I would've also provided a nice .patch file, if i just knew how. This is the first time I submit a patch :) So, please let me know what you think of this fix, i'd love to see it in the next version of dillo. I guess I'm not the only one with that problem :) Sincerly, johannes
