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. |

ELinks - an advanced web browser ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ELinks is an advanced and well-established feature-rich text mode web (HTTP/FTP/..) browser. ELinks can render both frames and tables, is highly customizable and can be extended via scripts. It is very portable and runs on a variety of platforms. The ELinks official website is available at http://elinks.cz/ Please see the SITES file for mirrors or other recommended sites. If you want to install ELinks on your computer, see the INSTALL file for further instructions. A good starting point is documentation files available in doc/, especially the file index.txt. If you want to request features or report bugs, see community information at http://elinks.cz/community.html and feedback information available at http://elinks.cz/feedback.html. If you want to write some patches, please first read the doc/hacking.txt document. If you want to add a new language or update the translation for an existing one, please read po/README document. If you want to write some documentation, well, you're welcome! ;) Historical notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Initially, ELinks was a development version of Links (Lynx-like text WWW browser), with more liberal features policy and development style. Its purpose was to provide an alternative to Links, and to test and tune various new features, but still provide good rock-solid releases inside stable branches. Why not contribute to Links instead? Well, first I made a bunch of patches for the original Links, but Mikulas wasn't around to integrate them, so I started releasing my fork. When he came back, a significant number of them got refused because Mikulas did not like them as he just wouldn't have any use for them himself. He aims to keep Links at a relatively closed feature set and merge only new features which he himself needs. It has the advantage that the tree is very narrow and the code is small and contains very little bloat. ELinks, on the contrary, aims to provide a full-featured web browser, superior to both lynx and w3m and with the power (but not slowness and memory usage) of Mozilla, Konqueror and similar browsers. However, to prevent drastic bloating of the code, the development is driven in the course of modularization and separation of add-on modules (like cookies, bookmarks, ssl, scripting etc). For more details about ELinks history, please see http://elinks.cz/history.html If you are more interested in the history and various Links clones and versions, you can examine the website at http://links.sf.net/ vim: textwidth=80
