Package: wkhtmltopdf Version: 0.12.6-2+b1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug.wkhtmlto...@sideload.33mail.com
I’ll start by saying the documentation is rough and incomplete, some of which is related to the bug at hand: ① The synopsis in the man page is “wkhtmltopdf [GLOBAL OPTION]... [OBJECT]... <output file>”. The description of “[OBJECT]” is imprecise and tedious to read because BNF is not used. If it said: OBJECT := URL | table of contents that would be more clear. ② The proxy option is not completely described anywhere. The man page only has: “-p, --proxy <proxy>” with no discription of what the arguments refer to or what syntax is accepted. If the user figures out to do “wkhtmltopdf --readme”, some examples are given like a scheme of socks5://, but socks4a:// is rejected with a strange error. Users should not have to guess what is accepted. ③ The --header-left option is undocumented in both the man page and the readme. I had to go online to learn about it here: https://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt When that doc says --header-*, it’s unclear what the asterisk can be. Examples mention left and right, but what about center? And in the end, it actually has no effect. There is no error message (which suggests that my version supports the option), yet the output has no header. The full command was: $ wkhtmltopdf --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9050\ --header-left '[webpage]'\ --background --images --disable-javascript\ --enable-local-file-access\ "$url_of_tor_hostile_website" output.pdf That command routes the request over Tor to a tor hostile website. The use-case was to document the tor hostility (the 403 error). It does produce the same 403 forbidden render that Firefox produces. But it’s missing the header. Perhaps the header would work if the website had been more inclusive. But in any case the header should be produced nonetheless. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-28-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages wkhtmltopdf depends on: ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u8 ii libgcc-s1 12.2.0-14 ii libqt5core5a 5.15.8+dfsg-11+deb12u2 ii libqt5gui5 5.15.8+dfsg-11+deb12u2 ii libqt5network5 5.15.8+dfsg-11+deb12u2 ii libqt5printsupport5 5.15.8+dfsg-11+deb12u2 ii libqt5svg5 5.15.8-3 ii libqt5webkit5 5.212.0~alpha4-30 ii libqt5widgets5 5.15.8+dfsg-11+deb12u2 ii libstdc++6 12.2.0-14 Versions of packages wkhtmltopdf recommends: ii xserver-xorg [xserver] 1:7.7+23 ii xvfb [xserver] 2:21.1.7-3+deb12u7 wkhtmltopdf suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
