[Netsurf-develop] Solved: The Iconbar.com Problem
by Andrew Duffell
Hi All,
I have found out that the problem with being Forbidden from TIB is caused by
their server being set up to deny from anything that does not give a user
agent (Which NetSurf soes not). If I put "Allow From User-Agent *" in my
.htaccess file on http://banners.iconbar.com/ it lets NetSurf in. Therefore
it might be worth giving NetSurf a useragent header thing rather that getting
Rich at TIB to change his server setup.

[Netsurf-develop] New test application
by Phil Mellor
I've uploaded a new version of the NetSurf application to
http://home.freeuk.com/mellor123/ns-bin.spk
It's about 330K. It includes various modifications
carried out by James and myself over the past few weeks.
I can't check in the source code myself, so that will
have to wait until James gets back.
New features include:
* Iconbar icon
* Multiple windows
* Toolbar
* Links
* Fetch documents from disc or http
* Text highlighting
There are a lot of memory leaks at the moment, so drag
the Next bar in the task manager to something large
(over 2MB?) to stop it quitting quite so often.

[Netsurf-develop] New Icons and Improved !Run
by Andrew Duffell
Hi People,
We have been looking at the new NetSurf application, and have designed a new
icon for it. There is a small icon and a large icon. We have edited the
!Run file so that it works in RISC OS 4+ which doesn' require CallASWI.
You can download it at http://banners.iconbar.com/netsurf/ and merge it with
the other original application.

[Netsurf-develop] Does it work, moss?
by Phil Mellor
Did you say on The Iconbar that you couldn't get it to work?
Which internet stack are you using -- the ANT one, or Acorn's?
Does the new application have the same problems?

[Netsurf-develop] Problems with sourceforge site... etc...
by Andrew Duffell
Hi All,
You haven't heard from me much mainly because of problems I am having with
the sf site. I can't seem to login with Oregano and therefore can't access
anything.
I have been taking a look at a copy of NetSurf that was posted on this
mailing list, and it is looking good. I have played around with text
alignment and tables. What else is it supposed to do at this moment?
I have been using it successfully on some websites and various files.
Just a thought, but why don't we get a proper forum for discussion (Like
phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com/)) It would make discussion a lot easier and
mean we could add screenshots etc. Also it would mean people like me could
login ;)
That is all for now,
Andrew

[Netsurf-develop] Hello there.
by Phil Mellor
Hello folks,
If you've been around on the Iconbar for a while, you might
know me as Jake Monkeyson. Well, this is the real me, and
since I've just got on the 'net I thought I'd be able to help
out in the NetSurf development.
It seems my setup is not quite technologically advanced enough
for me to become a SourceForge user -- I think it requires
SSL, and I'm only using ArcWeb, but I'm working on it.
In the mean time, what's been going on? Forgive me if I've
missed some obvious sources of information, but my internet
access is spent with an eye on the clock, so I've only had
chance for a brief look.
Is there a particular roadmap for development -- I've had a
look at the bit of code that exists, which looks interesting.
Is the plan to write something entirely from scratch?
Anyway, that's my introduction to myself. Let me know
what I should do next!
Cheers,
Phil Mellor.

Eeek, this is probably botched. Curse Yahoo! Mail. Expect proper

I'm back on now for good :-) Long story, so I won't pollute the
mailing list with it. Anyway, I'll do some testing tomorrow and post
back. Hopefully I can get it working. I'm also willing to do
documentation as well (writing it, or formatting it) - although we
won't be needing anything like that for a while yet. I also plan to
learn something by looking at the code, so I might be of some help
there at some point. But not yet!

Well, there's plenty of that from me now on The Playpen! Unfortunately...
