One idea would be to special case the existing https:// support and replace it with a warning message that https:// was disabled due to a lack of support for full verification.
I had a quick look and it doesn't seem to need a particularly large change to the source code, if the only change is to https support. However, dillo is gtk1.2 - the extra gtk1.2 dependencies somewhat counteract the benefits of having a "small" web browser in the first place - especially now that so few other applications on devices likely to need dillo would actually want gtk1.2 at all. There is a new upstream version, dillo-2.0: http://misc.andi.de1.cc/dillo/ This version build-depends on libgtk2.0-dev but although packages are available on the above site, the package itself fails to build due to a problem in fltk: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_REENTRANT -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wno-unused-parameter -MT libDw_fltk_a-fltkcomplexbutton.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/libDw_fltk_a-fltkcomplexbutton.Tpo -c -o libDw_fltk_a-fltkcomplexbutton.o `test -f 'fltkcomplexbutton.cc' || echo './'`fltkcomplexbutton.cc fltkcomplexbutton.cc:20:25: error: fltk/events.h: No such file or directory fltkcomplexbutton.cc:21:25: error: fltk/damage.h: No such file or directory fltkcomplexbutton.cc:22:24: error: fltk/Group.h: No such file or directory fltkcomplexbutton.cc:23:22: error: fltk/Box.h: No such file or directory fltkcomplexbutton.cc:155:23: error: fltk/draw.h: No such file or directory The upstream package does work and it does exclude https:// support: $ dillo https://launchpad.net Hi! This is the https dpi that just got a request to send the following HTTP query: { GET / HTTP/1.1 Connection: close Accept-Charset: utf-8,*;q=0.8 Accept-Encoding: gzip Host: launchpad.net Referer: https://launchpad.net/ User-Agent: Dillo/2.0 } *** Dillo's prototype plugin for https support is disabled now *** If you want to test this alpha support code, just remove line 72 from dpi/https.c, recompile and reinstall. (beware that this https support is very limited now) To use https and SSL, you must have the OpenSSL development libraries installed. Check your O/S distribution provider, or check out www.openssl.org I'll continue looking at how to get the new version to build in unstable. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
