WWWOFFLE
The WWWOFFLE programs simplify World Wide Web browsing from computers that use intermittent (dialup) connections to the Internet. It is a simple proxy server with special features for use with dial-up Internet links. It makes it possible to browse Web pages and read them without having to remain connected. There are too many features to mention, but they include privacy control, cookie/advert blocking, efficient bandwidth usage by specifying intervals between refreshes, options to monitor pages regularly, recursive fetching, HTML cleaning, highlighting of cached links, indexes of cached pages, searching of cached pages, and many more.

So why didn't you post an announcement for it, instead
of just a comment?

http mail problem
Hi to everybody reading this!
I have problems with sites that offer http mail
(mail.yahoo.com, www.email.com).
Yahoo tell me that I dont' have cookie support enabled in my browser (but it really is enabled). I had read in the FAQ that comes with wwwoffle 2.7b about cookie problems and I write these sites in the DontGet section, but still the problem exist. My only chance to access my http mail is setting my browser (netscape navigator) not to use the proxy. This is really inconvenient.
Please, any help?
Good News: looks good with 2.7b under osx 10.1.4
Deamon is running fine, and all functions seems to work. At least no more "Bus error" :-)
Next step: add wwwoffle to the fink project!
Regards,
Olivier
Bus error under Mac OS X
Just tried to compile the software under Mac OS X: no
errors on nake, but an ugly Bus Error on running
wwwoffled:
[localhost:~/local/wwwoffle/sbin] om% ./wwwoffled
wwwoffled[29237] Important: WWWOFFLE Demon Version 2.6d (with zlib,without ipv6) started.
Bus error
And if I try to debug it (is there no "strace" command?), I see:
[localhost:~/local/wwwoffle/sbin] om% gdb wwwoffled
GNU gdb 5.0-20001113 (Apple version gdb-200) (Mon Sep 3 02:43:52 GMT 2001) (UI_OUT)

Is there a bug somewhere in the code? Or an OS
incompatibility (os X =~ bsd).
