I am having a problem with getting chimera to recognize .ps files openned on the command line or accessed with an HTTP 0.9 server. I.E. it does not recognize the suffix .ps as being an application/postscript file. If I serve it from httpd, chimera has no problem. In my old content files, there were entries for both application/postscript and .ps, now there is only an entry for application/postscript. On the other hand, there is a mime.types files that has the mapping from .ps to application/postscript, so chimera should know. Besides, if I add the .ps entry to the content file, it does not help. .gif files are not a problem: they work from the command line and from a 0.9 server. Any suggestions? Does anyone else see this behavior? - -- -- Benno Benno Blumenthal Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University Palisades NY 10964 (914) 365-8350 internet: benno@lamont.ldeo.columbia.edu ------- Message 2 Received: from charles.CS.UNLV.EDU by JIMI.CS.UNLV.EDU id aa07905; 1 Jul 94 17:44 PDT To: bug-chimera@charles.CS.UNLV.EDU Subject: print/save menu Date: Fri, 01 Jul 1994 17:44:44 -0700 From: John Kilburg I create a GIF of the new print/save requester (called 'File').

The ftp: method should support the FULL syntax:

The <FORM> behavior is incorrect for multiple selection lists, like so:

However, there are no more gopher bogosities in the content file. The bogosities and have been moved into the gopher code. The content file will now only deal with MIME content-types. Each protocol function is responsible for returning a reasonable type. To help do this for gopher, ftp, and local files the mime.types file is used. While I'm at it I'll also list a few other changes/new things: 1) The content file is now only used for conversions 2) The mailcap is used to specify viewers 3) The cache name is now determined with MD5. There are two reasons for this: - I was getting cache name collisions on a local site - MD5 has to be incorporated anyways because of the auth stuff This means that old cache files will not have the right names. This is just as well because... 4) the cache file format has changed. The format now has a HTTP/MIME header at the top. This makes it easier to decode what is going on in the cache files and to add new fields when necessary. 5) There is a cancel button but it doesn't interrupt connect()'s. I have the code to do this but not the patience right now to test and make it work. 6) I've added more X resources for specifying the location of config files. 7) There is a new save/print/mail requester.

I'm not saying you should grab it but I'm not saying that you should avoid it. ftp://ftp.cs.unlv.edu/pub/chimera-misc/xc8-1.60.tar.gz NOTE: clean out your cache! 1.60 doesn't like the old cache files. There are still problems: 1) Hit "Source". The last few characters might be lost. This is probably not a "Source" problem but a fundamental conversion problem. However, it doesn't crash and burn so I've been lazy about fixing it. 2) If an image is loaded as an inline image then it can't later be brought up with xv as just another document. I believe it used to work but now it doesn't. I just found this out and haven't fixed the problem yet. 3) Images are screwed up on RS/6000s sometimes. Doesn't seem to happen on Suns and once the cache with the ppm version has been setup by the Sun the RS/6000 does just fine. I think it might be a netpbm problem. It might be related to (1). 4) I just remembered that I may have screwed up a patch someone gave me but I haven't had any problems with it. The patch was the one that added the HIDDEN type to FORMs. 5) There is a URL that someone gave me that caused chimera to die in the HTML parser. Last time I checked it was still causing problems. However, it seems to run much better on my Linux box which is usually very finicky about me tromping around in memory. -john ------- Message 18 Received: from citi.umich.edu by JIMI.CS.UNLV.EDU id aa04055; 13 Jul 94 5:19 PDT Received: from [141.211.128.188] by citi.umich.edu with SMTP; Wed, 13 Jul 94 08:18:22 -0400 From: Jim.Rees@umich.edu To: bug-chimera@charles.CS.UNLV.EDU Date: Wed, 13 Jul 1994 08:18:22 -0400 Subject: README.hints comments Sender: rees@citi.umich.edu In the 1.60 version, README.hints: It is unlikely that you will want the default setup.

I don't know why. I just went back to the old content file entries instead of trying to debug it. 1.60 is now working on my apollo. I think it works on my rs/6k too, but it's hard to tell. I'm not sure I like having mouse 3 put the url in the html display. Maybe it should put it in the little url display at the top, where the url of the current page goes. Clicking mouse 3 when you're not pointing to a link would re-display the url of the current page. In either case, chimera's mouse 3 is much better than what Mosaic does, which is to flash the url as you pass over links. This is distracting, and it means you can't select the url name for pasting someplace else. I really, really like the new "file" button. This alone makes the upgrade worth doing. ------- Message 24 Received: from citi.umich.edu by JIMI.CS.UNLV.EDU id aa11219; 13 Jul 94 9:02 PDT Received: from [141.211.128.188] by citi.umich.edu with SMTP; Wed, 13 Jul 94 12:01:16 -0400 From: Jim.Rees@umich.edu To: Chimera Bugs Date: Wed, 13 Jul 1994 12:01:15 -0400 Subject: Re: Pre release xc8-1.60 Sender: rees@citi.umich.edu In-Reply-To: Rob May, Wed, 13 Jul 1994 16:36:01 BST I am having problems with this version and forms.

Make sure the content file is in the right spot. The content file tells chimera how to display certain types of documents including text/html. You can tell chimera where the content file is by using the 'contentFile' resource. If you have problems with 1.54, you can try the beta version of 1.60 in ftp://ftp.cs.unlv.edu/pub/chimera-misc.

Just imagine having to browse through a dozen of 1000-messages per day newsgroups... The only chance to survive in Usenet is getting a newsreader with - threads (reading by subject) - author killfiles (some people never learn) - threads killfile (despising the title once, you never want to hear of it again) - group subject auto-kills (I have /Mac/:Tj to auto-blast all Macintosh-related stuff :) - global kills (apply to all newsgroups all the time) - auto-select and read (things that interest you most) etc. Thread-autoselect, thread auto-junk and author-kill are a must. trn does all I need for quick reading of thousands of messages per day. Of course, it takes more time to learn and configure to suit your needs, but it will save your Usenet life after that :) Cheers - -- Nicolas ------- Message 43 Received: from charles.CS.UNLV.EDU by JIMI.CS.UNLV.EDU id aa28623; 17 Jul 94 22:26 PDT To: bug-chimera@charles.CS.UNLV.EDU Subject: protocols as external programs Date: Sun, 17 Jul 1994 22:26:05 -0700 From: John Kilburg Ah ha! The list of reasons not to use W3 browsers as newsreaders will go in my bag of ammo. Even though I do not want to add news capability to chimera it will probably happen anyways. The reason is that in 1.61 (it might become 1.70, though) I am going to add code that will allow chimera to crank up external programs to grab stuff off the net much like conversion programs are used now. Don't worry: I am not going to convert the currently internally supported protocols into external programs. I will do this to allow folks to easily add new protocols to chimera. It should be a small amount of code as it will use existing code to do the job (pipe code, HTTP code, ...). Externally called programs will be expected to return HTTP/1.0 to chimera. For example, someone could write an NNTP program which does its thing and returns HTTP/1.0 to chimera. This should be very easy to do and would be nifty. I'm not sure how useful it would be but I really like this idea. How should the URL be passwd to the external program? My plan is to write the pieces of a URL to a temporary file the name of which is passed to the external program. This allows nice long funky URLs without too much and can be used to add additional info. Chimera could also pipe HTTP/1.0 to the external program which would allow things like Accept: fields. The URL would be sent in the URI field or maybe in X-hostname, X-portno, and X-filename fields so that parsing only has to be done in one place. Both could be used to make sure the standards are adhered to. Any ideas? -john ------- Message 44 Received: from charles.CS.UNLV.EDU by JIMI.CS.UNLV.EDU id aa28770; 17 Jul 94 22:31 PDT To: bug-chimera@charles.CS.UNLV.EDU Subject: 1.60 beta Date: Sun, 17 Jul 1994 22:31:36 -0700 From: John Kilburg How is 1.60 beta doing? There should be fewer crashes (most noticable on non-SunOS machines) and fewer errors in general, I think. I will put the 2.4 widget in the real release of 1.60 to make sure that option menu FORMs are handled correctly. Other than FORMs with option menus how is the FORMs stuff working? It should be better than in 1.54. I am going to change the configuration of chimera, again. I am going to add a header file which contains the options (options.h). The reason I am doing this is because some machines apparently can't handle the long command lines that result from the old way.

Anchors are highlighted only when they are in the cache if the cache is enabled. Without caching the links that have been accessed during the current session are highlighted. ok. then the question is is anchor hilighting supposed to indicate cache status or is it indended to provide feedback to the user to indicate on what links you had already traveled? i've always assumed the latter.

Make sure you have the 'content' file setup correctly and that you have the programs in your PATH or contentPath (X resource). > 2. doesn't seem to cache. Someone else reported a problem with the cache yesterday so I am assuming that the cache is broken. Hopefully I will be able to take a look tonight.

The last "next" pointer was never initialized (the memory is allocated by malloc(), not calloc()), and would cause a seg fault in ReadContentDB when it's trying to find the tail of the list.
