Re: SimpleWebKit - Status

[Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Peter, Riccardo, Group,
just to keep you informed, I am still trying to find out why my GNA  
account has no svn+ssh access...

In the meantime I am continuing to fix bugs and rework the  
architectue. Here is a "status list" for some web pages

http://www.quantum-step.com             loads main page but does not redirect
http://www.gnustep.org			loads main page with formatting issues; does  
not show images
http://www.fsf.org                                      shows document title; 
hangs
http://www.google.com                   loads but does not show content
http://www.apple.com                            shows document title; hangs
http://www.apple.de                             loads but shows content only 
after reload
http://www.yahoo.de                             shows document title; hangs
frameset.html                                   hangs with exception
headerbody.html                                 hangs
headerbody.html                                 hangs
robustness.html                                 renders text more or less ok


Where I have no clear solution is how subresources (e.g. an embedded  
<img>) correctly notify the visual elemens (which is a subclass of  
NSImageCell embedded as an NSTextAttachment in an NSTextView) that  
their content has changed.

Another unsolved issue is how the loading mechanism should enable the  
CSS parser to handle <style type="text/css">@import "URL"</style>  
which needs to resume parsing onlyy after the subresource data  
becomes available. Well, parsing could trigger loading of the  
subresource unless it has already been loaded and stop. Completion of  
the subresource could restart the full CSS parse process.

Best regards,
Nikolaus
