[Netsurf-develop] Strange Crash When Loading NetSurf
by Andrew Duffell
Hi,
When I load NetSurf for the first time when the machine as been booted up it
sometimes (50% of the time) crashes, and lines of black text appear on the
screen.
stderr is *very* short, so here it is:
riscos/options.c options_read 133: Getting file info riscos/options.c
options_read 145: Allocating 250 bytes riscos/options.c lookup_yesno 42:

[Netsurf-develop] Cookie support
by James Bursa
There is now initial cookie support in NetSurf.
Cookies are accepted and sent for pages. Cookies are not accepted or sent for
images or other objects within a page. This is a simple heuristic for
improving the user's privacy, since image cookies tend to be used by
advertisers to track users. Would people like more control than this over
accepting cookies (eg. prompted for each)?
Received cookies are stored in Choices.WWW.NetSurf.Cookies. Currently
expiration is not implemented.
Please test and report problems. Thanks!

[Netsurf-develop] Re: Cookie support
by Andrew Duffell
Hi,
Are cookies in images going to be implemented eventually? I use them in the
RISC OS Banner Network to tell the browser what banner is being displayed.
This is then sent to banner.php to tell it what URL to redirect to for that
banner. Otherwise you just get directed to banners.iconbar.com

[Netsurf-develop] HTTP Authentication Bug
by Andrew Duffell
Hi All,
If you go to http://myrealbox.com/ and then cross of the browser window then
you are left with the login box. Clicking login on the login box causes
NetSurf to crash.
This is repeatable, so I won't post stderr.
The authentication box should probably disappear if the browser window is
crossed off.

[Netsurf-develop] Writable icons
by John Duffell
Hi,
Netsurf looks pretty good, I'd probably use it most of the time if the text
was bigger and you could use cookies :)
I was wondering how about using real writable icons so we can use ctrl-u/cut
and paste with the facilities built into RO? Admittedly that may cause
problems with colouring the border and text a different colour, and different
border widths, but maybe it could use the normal icon unless it needed
different borders.
The history thing seems great, but I'd agree that it eeds to be made more
RISC OSy, probably the most appropriate would be Select/Adjust for
back/forwards and maybe Menu would make something transient to appear. It
wouldn't be possible to do what's needed with a RO menu, so perhaps something
(looking like) a simple web page would be intuitive. The scroll bars system
is "odd" but as a prototype it's good, fine.
As I say, it's mainly ok, I won't bother saying too much at this stage since
it's in heavy development anyway.
Thanks for your time,

[Netsurf-develop] Test build 19th December
by The Doctor
Hi,
Thanks for the continuing work on Netsurf people.
With this latest version the window is of a sensible size and starts
off in the center of the screen. Good!
Also, when clicking the 'toggle size' button the window only expands
horizontally as large as it needs to to display the page. Also good
news.
However (there has to be one of those ;-), it also covers the iconbar
as well which it shouldn't do since I have the 'Cover Iconbar on full
size toggle' option 'unticked' in the RISC OS configuration.
Also (and this has been in the last couple of versions) when I click
the back button on the browser, it doesn't actually go back, it simply
pops up a window with links to the previously visited pages.
Is this supposed to happen?
Cheers!
