Hi! Has anybody managed to utilize www line mode browser which comes with libwww 5.1a? When I try to follow any link on a page it coredumps. GDB says: | | #0 0x806a901 in HTAssocList_findObject (list=0x80b8308, | name=0x809560a "expires") at HTAssoc.c:93 | 93 if (!strncasecomp(assoc->name, name, len)) | The same happens to Arena: | | #0 strncasecomp (a=0x2 "", b=0x80d91d1 "expires", n=7) at HTString.c:51 | 51 if (!(*p && *q)) return *p - *q; | When Arena manages to avoid this coredump it faces another esoteric behaviour of libwww-5.1a: following any link on a page puts libwww in a deadloop. The following is a typical loop: | | EventList... calling socket 4, request (nil) handler 0x80b3660 type HTEvent_WRITE | Host Event.. WRITE passed to `http://www.yggdrasil.com/Images/l_ia.jpg' | Host info... Add Net 0x81cceb0 as pending | HTDoConnect. Pending... | Memory Free. 0x8293630 | Event Loop.. calling select: maxfds is 4 | Memory Free. 0x81e0d28 | Event Loop.. select returns 2 | EventOrder.. execute ordered events | Memory Free. 0x83bce98 | EventList... calling socket 4, request (nil) handler 0x80b3660 type HTEvent_READ | Host Event.. READ passed to `http://www.yggdrasil.com/Images/l_ia.jpg' | Host info... Add Net 0x81cceb0 as pending | HTDoConnect. Pending... | Memory Free. 0x83bce80 | Memory Free. 0x81e0d28 | Arena linked against libwww-5.0a never faces these errors. Is this behaviour caused by libwww-5.1a or Arena (and www) bugs? Any hints/help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! -- QingLong Yggdrasil Computing, Incorporated +1 408 261-6630 "Free Software For The Rest of Us."
