hi, i have some more about the html documents generated
(cachemgr.c, ftp.c, gopher.c, urn.c) and used (ERR documents)
by squid and cachemgr.
first of all i'd like to give an overview of what i actually
want to do (i haven't done this completely and clearly yet)
1) what: adding doctype declaration to any html document
generated or used by squid and cachemgr
why: some browsers need this info to render the html code
correctly.
the documents would have validated in html 4.0 as well
but i decided for html 4.01 for future compatibility.
2) what: standardize the html code according to the w3c standard
why: cross browser compatibility
3) what: modify the html code (e.g. change <HR> to
<HR noshade size="1px">)
why: obtaining the same look for the different html browsers
(mozilla (so netscape) render the plain <HR> tag different
from opera or msie)
4) what: a new look for the html documents:
background-color white / font verdana
why: fresh style (look at the error documents of the latest
apache releases), in addition to that verdana is much
easier to read.
in all this i try not to add too much since less is more.
i have been overhasty to post the patches already, the background-
color was not included yet and i overlooked some sections in the .c
files, sorry for that.
i also found some errors in the existing err documents that prevented
my automatism to update these files correctly:
- the serbian ERR_FTP_DISABLED document does not contain opening
<html> and <head> tags
- the catalan ERR_WRITE_ERROR document contains an incomplete
<title> tag
i will include the corrections in the patches i will make, just this
time i'll take my time so that the patches will be final.
until then i would appreciate some feedback:
- what do you think about a new style of the err documents?
(example: http://www.psychotekk.de/extern/ERR_DNS_FAIL.htm)
- i found two additional err documents:
in the danish and finish language there is an ERR_CLIENT_ABORT
file. i searched the archives and the changelog but could not
find information about a possible removal. i would like to know
if these files are still required.
- since i'm new to cygwin and diff, i would like to know if
my patches had the correct syntax.
i downloaded the latest development release
(squid-2.6-DEVEL-20020713) and extracted them twice.
i modified the files in the one folder and compared (diff)
them to the unmodified files from the other folder.
is this the correct way to handle patches?
thanks for your time and patience everybody!
regards,
C.L.
