[Dillo-dev]Dillo resolving problems
Hello Guys, First of all, congratulations on the excellent work achieved on dillo. Sadly I was only introduced to dillo recently, however I now use it every day for about 1-2 hours browsing CVSWEB. I love the way bookmarks are handled! On to more important topics, I have a strange problem which I dont understand. I believe it could possibly be dillo related. I am currently using Dillo 0.8.4 for your information. The problem is strange. A few websites I browse on a regular basis cannot be viewed. I get the error: ERROR: No route to host. However, I can ping and view these websites using another browser. An example of a website I cannot view is: www.netbsd.org/ The system dillo is on currenly runs DragonFly BSD following the Stable tag. Whats really strange is I can ping and view these websites using other means =/ Hope someone can shead some light on to my problem. If anymore information is needed, please ask! Regards, -- - Liam J.

You have problems with your system. I have forwarded to you directly a screen capture of the site accessed with dillo .... -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

I have a similar problem, that I haven't noticed with my system before. I'm running Dillo 0.8.4 on NetBSD 2.0-RELEASE built from pkgsrc, I'm pretty sure it's pkgsrc-2004Q4 Anyways, maybe it's a BSD specific problem? I can't get to a FreeBSD system right now, but if anybody else can check and see? -R. Tyler Ballance

I have no problems viewing http://www.netbsd.org/ with a stock dillo-0.8.4 [1] . Either something has happened between dillo-0.8.4 and the CVS tag you're tracking or the problem isn't just with dillo. Cheers, Jeremy Henty [1] Albeit patched to recognise the "'" entity, but that surely won't affect routing, will it?

This is IPv6 related. www.netbsd.org resolves to a IPv6 address as well as to a IPv4 address. And for your system, the resolver system seems to prefer to return IPv6 (or dillo seems to prefer to take the IPv6). However, you don't have an IPv6 route/address/something. BTW, OpenBSD behaves similarly. Two solutions : - turn off routing of IPv6 entirely. I haven't tried that yet but I just recently read how to do it. It is a simple "route ....-inet6 ...." command. (I should look it up). - Make dillo look more carefully what addresses are returned. Maybe make dillo try both when the first does not work ?

Interesting finding. Actually, if it's a bug, a patch is welcome! -- Cheers Jorge.-
