AWeb 3.5.12 - AmiSSL 4.2 support

With the welcome release of AmiSSL 4.2 I'm now able to upload AWeb 3.5.12 to os4depot.

This release adds suport for AmiSSL 4.2 to AWeb and so allows access to many of the sites that were not previously assessable via https.

Version 4.2 of amissl is required as AWeb's multiple simulataneous network connections were trigger a race condition bug in AmiSSL's error handling. Many thanks to Oliver Roberts (futura) for helping get a debug build of AmiSSL built allowing to track the issue down, and then for promptly implmenting the fix.

The new AmiSSL is currently available direct from github.

https://github.com/jens-maus/amissl/releases

bit of a catch 22 with downloding wth AWeb though

AWeb will be available from os4depot.net

http://os4depot.net/index.php?functio ... =network/browser/aweb.lha

It's currently in the upload queue at time of writing this so please ensure you are accessing 3.5.12

Src code is in the archive. I don't have the aweblib "module" code for targets other than OS4 unfortunatly so can't build for other targets at this time.

Great work Andy. I am just sending this message from this latest version. It works just great.

Thank you for all your hard work.

@andy
Is there a possibility to see any enhancements or bug fixes at the awebcharset.awebplugin? For example, if someone uses it and enables the charset from a button or a menu, and then click refresh, then the character change is not working. He has to go to an other link in the same website to see it working.

Also, can this be more automatic for not experienced users? Or get a config tab in Browser configuration where the user can set it work? I guess that a lot of users do not know that this plugin exists. This way AWeb will become more usable for users that visit websites in other languages than English.

Quote:

That's probably a cache issue, the plug is a filter plugin, and the filtered result is probably cached.

The charset plugin was never my work, I'm not 100% up on how it works, or how effective it was.

The only real solution is to write a utf-8 renderer, which I certainly haven't got time to do.

Src is available.

If you want to create an html doc for the plugin and configuration script like the other major plugins have then feel free to do so, and send me the patch for inclusion in any updates.

wow thanks to all involved

@broadblues
How did you create the AWeb lha archive at OS4Depot? Double clicking the archive with Dopus doesn't recognize it as an archive.

I can extract the archive, so I extracted it, then re-archived it with Amiga LHA and my archive is recognized by Dopus4 as an LHA archive.

Edit: I was wrong about the archive size. Post corrected.

@xenic

Curious I created with

lha -r a -H0 aweb_3_5_12_{date}.lha AWevPPC src AWebbPPC.info

where {date} was the day I made it.

@broadblues
After further investigation, it doesn't appear to be a problem with the progam used to archive Aweb. Dopus4 uses xadmaster.library library to read the archive and show the contents in a lister. The archive is read correctly by SYS:Utilities/UnArc so I'm guessing that there is a bug in Dopus4. Sorry to bother you about this.

Hello
I was trying to customize AWeb,
I have to have something wrong, now AWeb opens but there are no more menus and I can not insert any links or anything else.
I deleted and reinstalled AWeb but the situation does not change.
I tried to see in SYS: prefs / env-archive but I can not find anything.
How can I install AWeb again with the default settings?
Thanks for your work and possible suggestions.
Thank you.

Excuse me a lot, I found and in the Appdir I deleted the files of preference.
Everything works.
I apologize again.

The AWeb prefs are in ENV:AWeb 3 and ENVARC:AWeb3

delete those and it will revert to using it's internal defaults next time you restart.

I not quite sure how the prefs could end up in Appdir: unless you were talking about the AWebPrefs programs.

@broadblues
Thank you very much for your answer.
Actually I was trying to configure YT.rexx with AWeb 3.5.12
And I must have done something wrong and the first time I use it on 4.1
At the moment I use YT.rexx with Odyssey NetSurf and IBrowse
I was trying to make it work with AWeb 3.5.12 because it is very fast on winuae but I must have done something wrong.
Now I have solved and thanks for the additional information on the configuration files.
Thanks again for the advice.
And thank you for your work.


But I still can not configure it with YT.rexx, I read the documentation of YT.rexx but it seems at least difficult for me to configure.

@white

Seams to configure okay for me here.

I did the following, which subtley different from the guide.

Download YT from os4depot (took ages to find it somehow searching for YT doesn't bring it up!)

Unpack in ram for testing.

Protect ram:YT/YT.rexx + s

(/me slaps the authors with a wet fish for not setting the protection bits properly)

Start AWeb

Go to Menu->Settings->GUI Settings

Choose the Popup tab at the top (centre)

Choose Link popup menu from the chooser just below the tabs.

Click on ADD

Enter

Open with YT.rexx

in the Title gadget and *press return*

Enter

SYSTEM RAM:YT/YT.rexx %u html aweb silent

in the command gadget and *press return*

leave the show if object in mem and not in mem both set.

Press USE to test or SAVE to keep.

Then I went to youtube.com middle clicked on a random link (use which ever button you have the context menu set up on see first tab in AWebs GUI settings) and chose the Open in YT.rexx option.

After thinking for a while but putting up some RingHIO notifiactions to let you know it's working It opened a new page in a new window with details about videos and lots of links and things to click on.

Clicking on alink caused AWeb to download the video files.

So I went to

Settings ->Browser Settings ->Viewer Tab

Clicked ADD

Entered

VIDEO / *

in type (note don't type the / just the VIDEO in the first gadget and the * in the seconf, *press return* each time.

Set action to (E) External program

Set the program to

APPDIR:mplayer

Set the arguments to

%f

press USE to test or SAVE to keep

Now ehen you click on a link AWeb feeds it to the mplayer prgram as a file.

Alternatively you could set the arg %u to have mplayer stream it itself.

@broadblues
Thank you,
I'll try right away, thanks again.
Hello, good day.

@broadblues
Thanks, I'm trying but not working,
I have to try to work better on this.
I need to rehearse your explanation and simple, but it does not work.
Would you have time to put only sample screenshots?
I could see them and work better.
Thank you.
If it is not possible, all the same, I will do many tests.
Thanks anyway, I have a base to work on.

@white

Please download the following link and unpack it into over your YT instalation.

ytaweb.lha

It will add two files to the YT_HTML docs

aweb.html and ytaweb.rexx

open aweb.html in AWeb (*must* be AWeb) and click on the form and it will run an installer, which wil enable you to setup the basic instalation.

I'll may make a version with options later.

@broadblues
Thank you.
Thank you very much, I tried immediately.

@broadblues
Hi broadblues,
Sorry if I go back to this topic,
but I can not configure YT.rexx with AWeb 3.5.12 I tried in many ways.
When you have time, could you put some configuration screenshots?
Or what you think is best to configure it.
I was able to configure Odyssey IBrowse and NetSurf
But AWeb 3.15.12 I can not configure it and I do not understand where I'm wrong.
Thank you.

@white


Did you not download and run the script I linked to above? That will do it for you. Just make sure to sdave the chnages before rebooting.

@brodblues
Yes, I downloaded the script but I can not get it to work.
If I go to the video for streaming, I have the YT voice but it remains empty.
And as if the entry YT does not find the script YT.rexx
Thanks again.
