This reverts commit c33d195ff4.
ELinks no longer needs to collect garbage in this situation
because it can now free cache entries even if the corresponding
SMJS objects remain.
The SpiderMonkey scripting module handles the "pre-format-html" event
by constructing a JSObject for the struct cache_entry and then calling
elinks.preformat_html(cache_entry, view_state) if such a function
exists. The problem with this was that each such JSObject kept the
struct cache_entry locked until SpiderMonkey garbage-collected the
JSObject, even if the user had not defined an elinks.preformat_html
function and the JSObject was thus never needed at all. To work
around that, the SpiderMonkey scripting module ran a garbage
collection whenever the user told ELinks to flush caches.
Remove the SpiderMonkey scripting module's use of object_lock and
object_unlock on struct cache_entry, and instead make the pointers
weak so that ELinks can free the cache_entry whenever it wants even if
a JSObject is pointing to it. Each cache_entry now has a pointer back
to the JSObject; done_cache_entry calls smjs_detach_cache_entry_object,
which follows the pointer and detaches the cache_entry and the JSObject
from each other.
This commit does not yet remove the workaround mentioned above.
gcc-4.3 -O2 was complaining that http_got_header may use uninitialized
version.major and version.minor. That indeed happened with HTTP/0.9
servers, and the PRE_HTTP_1_1(version) check then had an undefined
result, so http->close could remain 0 even though it should have
become 1; fortunately, it was then set to 1 anyway, because there was
no Content-Length header. The undefined version was also saved in
http->recv_version, but it appears nothing ever reads that. So in the
end, the bug did not cause any symptoms at runtime, but the warning
broke the build on gcc-4.3 if ELinks was configured with --enable-debug.
The following is in the HTML 4 standard
(<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#push-button>):
push buttons: Push buttons have no default behavior. Each push
button may have client-side scripts associated with the element's
event attributes. When an event occurs (e.g., the user presses the
button, releases it, etc.), the associated script is triggered.
Currently, a button such created by such HTML as "<input type="button"
value="foo" />" submits the form by default in ELinks. According to
the above, it shouldn't.
Do not retain changed values in form fields when the user reloads. Doing
so can be confusing or even cause data-loss when new default values are
specified in the updated document. For example, when editing an article on
Wikipedia, one loads the edit page for the article, makes and submits
changes, goes back to the edit page to make further modifications, and
reloads to get the new article text. Before this change, reloading the
edit page would not update the textarea on the page with the new article
source, which can lead one (and has led me) to make changes to the original
version of the article by accident.
This fixes bug 620.

If the user opens the same file again after it is in the cache, then
ELinks does not always open a new connection, so download->conn can be
NULL in init_type_query(), and download->conn->cgi would crash.
Don't read that, then; instead add a new flag cache_entry.cgi, which
http_got_header() sets or clears as soon as possible after the cache
entry has been created.

The comment said "it is not possible to call kill_timer from a timer
handler." Sure, such calls used to crash occasionally, but that was
bug 868 and has already been fixed.
Previously, each progress timer function registered with
start_update_progress() was directly used as the timer function of
progress.timer, so it was responsible of erasing the expired timer ID
from that member. Failing to do this could result in heap corruption.
The progress timer functions normally fulfilled the requirement by
calling update_progress(), but one such function upload_stat_timer()
had to erase the timer ID on its own too.
Now instead, there is a wrapper function progress_timeout(), which
progress.c sets as the timer function of progress.timer. This wrapper
erases the expired timer ID from progress.timer and then calls the
progress timer function registered with start_update_progress(). So
the progress timer function is no longer responsible of erasing the
timer ID and there's no risk that it could fail to do that in some
error situation.
This commit introduces a new risk though. Previously, if the struct
progress was freed while the timer was running, the (progress) timer
function would still be called, and it would be able to detect that
the progress pointer is NULL and recover from this situation. Now,
the timer function progress_timeout() has a pointer to the struct
progress and will dereference that pointer without being able to check
whether the structure has been freed. Fortunately, done_progress()
asserts that the timer is not running, so this should not occur.
In setup_session, use copy_location, add_to_history, and
render_document_frames instead of goto_uri and copy_vs to copy the base
tab's view state. By avoiding goto_uri, setup_session now bypasses MIME
checks, form post confirmations, malicious URL checks, and so on when
copying the base tab's current location and view state to the new tab,
so the new tab should get exactly what was loaded in the base tab.
This fixes bug 765: Opening a new tab can ask about the document of the
previous tab.
Do not retain changed values in form fields when the user reloads. Doing
so can be confusing or even cause data-loss when new default values are
specified in the updated document. For example, when editing an article on
Wikipedia, one loads the edit page for the article, makes and submits
changes, goes back to the edit page to make further modifications, and
reloads to get the new article text. Before this change, reloading the

Handle <script> blocks even when they are contained by blocks with
"display: none" set.
This commit fixes the second problem that Kalle points out in comment 5
to bug 963.
When this option is enabled, elements should be rendered even when the CSS
display attribute is "none". Before this commit, the reverse was true:
when the option was enabled, such elements were _not_ rendered.
I am not changing the default, which is enabled, meaning that by default,
ELinks renders elements regardless of "display: none". Pasky advocates
that this remain the default until ELinks's CSS support improves.
This commit fixes the first problem that Kalle points out in comment 5 to
bug 963.
The second argument of PERL_SYS_INIT3 should be a char ***
but ELinks was giving it a char *(*)[1].
Also, enlarge the array to 2 elements, so that my_argv[my_argc] == NULL
like in main(). PERL_SYS_INIT3 seems hardly documented at all so I'm
not sure this is necessary, but it shouldn't hurt.

Posting a 91762123-byte file to test/cgi/big_file.cgi. The CPU
percentages are from "top" set up to update every 10 seconds and
checked near the end of the transfer, so they are less accurate
than the upload rate, which averages over the whole transfer.
buffer=4096: average 1.7 MiB/s, elinks 62% CPU, python 35% CPU.
buffer=8192: average 2.5 MiB/s, elinks 49% CPU, python 42% CPU.
buffer=16384: average 3.1 MiB/s, elinks 40% CPU, python 55% CPU.
buffer=32768: average 3.8 MiB/s, elinks 33% CPU, python 61% CPU.
buffer=65536: average 4.1 MiB/s, elinks 26% CPU, python 70% CPU.
buffer=131072: average 4.2 MiB/s, elinks 28% CPU, python 67% CPU.
buffer=262144: average 4.4 MiB/s, elinks 26% CPU, python 69% CPU.
I'm choosing 32768 as POST_BUFFER_SIZE because the advantages of
larger buffers don't seem very high and keeping this under 65536
may help anyone trying to port ELinks to DOS.
I'm using the same value for HTTP too, just to keep things consistent
until there is a reason to diverge.
Without this patch, ELinks showed garbage at
<http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html> when bzip2 decompression was
enabled. safe_read() in bzip2_read() did not see all of the body
bytes that ELinks had received from the server. After bzip2_read()
received EAGAIN from safe_read() and returned 0, something skipped
1460 bytes.
decompress_data() apparently assumed that read_encoded() returning 0
meant the end of the file, and returned even though len still was
nonzero, i.e. it had not yet written to the pipe all the data that
the caller (read_chunked_http_data() or read_normal_http_data()) had
provided. The caller did not know this, and discarded the data.

Move connection.post_fd to http_post.post_fd.
Make connection.done point to the new done_http_connection(),
which calls the new done_http_post(), which closes post_fd.
So done_connection() no longer needs to do that.
Now that done_http_post() exists, a later commit can add dynamically
allocated data in struct http_post and ensure that it will be freed.
As the comment near the end of this function says, conn->info is
already non-NULL if a HTTPS proxy is being used, and the code in fact
correctly frees the previous info. So there is no need to assert its
nonexistence. I added that bug on 2008-05-22, in commit 291a913d1e.
If ELinks is being linked with SSL library, use its random number
generator.
Otherwise, try /dev/urandom and /dev/prandom. If they do not work,
fall back to rand(), calling srand() only once. This fallback is
mostly interesting for the Hurd and Microsoft Windows.
BitTorrent piece selection and dom/test/html-mangle.c still use rand()
(but not srand()) directly. Those would not benefit from being
unpredictable, I think.
To reduce code duplication, src/protocol/file/cgi.c no longer parses
connection->uri->post on its own but rather calls the new function
http_read_post_data(), provided by src/protocol/http/http.c. The same
code is now also used for POST requests that do not include files.
Previously, init_type_query would check to make sure that it doesn't create a
duplicate type query and would return NULL if it otherwise would create a
duplicate. Then setup_download_handler would return 0 to do_move.
This patch changes setup_download_handler to return 1 to do_move in this
situation so that do_move stops trying to load the document.
This avoid a crash when loading twice the same file in the same tab when
loading the file opens a type query.

elinks --config-help used to sort options like this:
document.history
document.history.global
document.history.global.enable
document.history.global.max_items
document.history.global.display_type
document.history.keep_unhistory
Now it'll instead be:
document.history
document.history.keep_unhistory
document.history.global
document.history.global.enable
document.history.global.max_items
document.history.global.display_type
i.e. all the options listed under a subheading are children of the
tree named by it. This makes elinks.conf(5) look saner.

libsmbclient's stdout and stderr interferred with ELinks's stdout
and stdin. That caused an assertion failure. Now the ELinks uses
different streams for processing of the smb protocol.
This reverts commit 7ceba1e461,
which is causing an assertion to fail if I open the same PDF
twice in a row, even if I cancel the dialog box when ELinks
first asks which program to run:

Forcing core dump! Man the Lifeboats! Women and children first!
But please DO NOT report this as a segfault!!! It is an internal error, not a
normal segfault, there is a huge difference in these for us the developers.
Also, noting the EXACT error you got above is crucial for hunting the problem
down. Thanks, and please get in touch with us.

There is a fix available but I don't trust it yet.
This reverts commit d0be89a16c, and thus
restores the ELinks 0.11 behaviour: always copy the data to a
temporary file before passing it to a MIME handler, even if the
"file:" URI scheme is being used. Previously, ELinks 0.12.GIT passed
the name of the original file directly to the handler. That was more
efficient but unfortunately gave the wrong result with local CGI.
The commit being reverted also claims to partially fix bug 238
(caching of local files). That bug is still open.
Currently, when ELinks passes the name of a local file to an external
MIME handler program, it encodes the name as a URI. Programs
typically do not expect this, and they then fail to open the file.
This patch makes ELinks instead quote the file name for the shell.
