About:
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
by Constantin A. Dumitrescu - Jun 16th 2002 09:49:39

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?

[»] Bus error under Mac OS X
by Olivier L. Müller - Nov 26th 2001 17:37:41

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)
[..]
(gdb) run
Starting program: /Users/om/local/wwwoffle/sbin/wwwoffled
[Switching to thread 1 (process 29246 thread 0x1603)]
Reading symbols for shared libraries . done
wwwoffled[29246] Important: WWWOFFLE Demon Version 2.6d (with zlib,without ipv6) started.

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
0x700044c0 in memmove ()
(gdb)

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

    [»] Good News: looks good with 2.7b under osx 10.1.4
    by Olivier L. Müller - May 5th 2002 08:47:14

    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

[»] Problems with some pages:
by Olivier L. Müller - Mar 21st 2001 16:15:28

is there a way to keep pages with the new "steaming ads" in
cache and to browse them offline ? For example I have big problems with www.appwatch.com, www.letemps.ch and www.edicom.ch

Thanks for any hint :)

      Salut Marc,
      > What is your problem? Explain.

      try to load one of these pages in while being online : no
      problem. Then do a wwwoffle -offline, and load the page
      again : can you still see it ?

        Yes I can still see the page. For www.appwatch.com I had to filter the url that loads the javascript containing the ads, its full url contains a number dynamically generated at view time. I add this expression to my exclude list:

        *://www.zdnet.com/fcgi-bin/becky/js/*

        Can you tell me what error message you're seeing?
