This is with #2891. Recent NetSurfs start up with JavaScript enabled no matter what had been saved to Choices previously. As such the site crashes. Disable JavaScript and the site renders.

Do Netsurf's errors get logged? (Syslog, Wimplog)
I was investigating why a download item on the Archive website was causing problems for somebody, and got this error box: Warning from Netsurf The file could not be saved due to an error: 'ADFS::Drive2.$.2310d/zip' is a directory Turned out that the drive where I was attempting to drop the downloaded item already had a copy of the item. Deleted the copy, retried the download, and it completed OK. Two observations: (1) The wording of the warning seems inappropriate. A "directory"? (2) The text of the warning was not recorded by !Syslog (whose job is to make it easy for people submitting bug reports to quote the exact wording of an error message). I searched the whole log and found nothing from Netsurf. Which leads me to ask: Does Netsurf need to be tweaked somehow so that its errors will be logged? Or does !Syslog (or its subsidiary !Wimplog) need the tweak? *help wimplog says: "The Wimplog module logs errors sent to Wimp_ReportError (ie, shown as error boxes on the screen) to a file using !Syslog." (I'm using Netsurf #2789 on Iyonix 5.18, Syslog 0.20, Wimplog 1.02) -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

SparkFS etc treats zip files as image files, so zips can appear as a directory containing files. > (2) The text of the warning was not recorded by !Syslog (whose job > is to make it easy for people submitting bug reports to quote the > exact wording of an error message).

Wimplog intercepts the standard Wimp_ReportError wimp error messages. If Netsurf uses its own internal error reporting, then Wimplog will not see it. > (I'm using Netsurf #2789 on Iyonix 5.18, Syslog 0.20, Wimplog 1.02) -- Chris Johnson

Correct. Wimp_ReportError is evil and NetSurf does not use it unless the event is cataclysmic. B.

I'm not sure it's that odd. If SparkFS has been seen and the zip file has the correct filetype, RISC OS will report the object to NetSurf as a directory, not a file (/some/ calls will report it as an "image directory", but others won't). > > (1) The wording of the warning seems inappropriate.

There's no single SysLog log, so it isn't clear which "whole log" Jim searched... > Netsurf uses its own logging and does not send anything to Syslog.

In terms of bug reporting, NetSurf's own log is far more detailed and far more useful. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/

It's /any/ Zipfile, StrongHelp manual or whatever once the 'owner' is running, isn't it? It usually is here, anyway. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/
