2022-08-15 Dillo's quirks & DPIs for gopher & gemini |
|
|
|
Dillo's website has been parked since ~May of this year, its |
|
development had slowed down considerably and it is probably as |
|
dead a browser can be, so I'm not sure how many people are |
|
actually going to write - or bother using - new plugins (DPI) |
|
for it, but, just in case: |
|
|
|
- it already looks into =~/.dillo/dpi= by default, so there is |
|
no need to add another =dpi_dir= entry into =~/.dillo/dpidrc= |
|
(in fact, I'm pretty sure it just reads the first one) |
|
- it doesn't seem to cope too well with multiple .dpi files in |
|
any given DPI subdirectory. |
|
|
|
I learned of this when, having installed a second DPI to handle |
|
=gemini:= links, I decided to not bother with deleting the |
|
executable, and to just rename it by giving it an =old.= prefix. |
|
|
|
It worked, until I tried using it two days later and it suddenly |
|
didn't: having closed the dillo instance, dpid - and the |
|
association between the protocol and the executable - presumably |
|
went with it, with the error manifesting itself as a series of |
|
|
|
Dpi_get_server_port: can't read server port from dpid. |
|
|
|
lines in the dillo output. |
|
|
|
Fixing it was trivial; figuring out /how/ to fix it, slightly |
|
less so. |
|
|
|
Incidentally, the DPIs I have been using are Charles E. Lehner's |
|
=dillo-gopher= and =dillo-gemini=, licensed with GPLv3 and FSF |
|
All-Permissive License respectively, and available as Git repos |
|
through Secure Scuttlebutt: |
|
cel/dillo-gopher |
|
cel/dillo-gemini |

|
On a slightly different note, I took a stab at revising the |
|
troff macros I use to generate this phlog (and that I'd also |
|
like to use to generate a blog/gemlog): I spent five minutes |
|
adding inline formatting, and wasted the whole afternoon trying |
|
to figure out how to stop =grohtml= from wrapping its output at |
|
~64 columns. It's /mostly/ a non-issue, but as I am likely to |
|
use preformatted text, I'd like to avoid messing *that*up. |
|
|
|
I ended up settling on mangling the HTML in post-processing - |
|
awk to the rescue! - but that's just an ugly hack, one I figure |
|
I'll have to dig into the grohtml code to fix. |
|
|
|
Or I might just stop forcing troff to do the text formatting. |
|
|
|
Decisions, decisions. |
