It must be incredibly difficult to disassemble something originally written in C and understand what it's doing.   Years ago I tried compiling the most basic of C programs then looking at the disassembled output and it seemed to make even basic code a hugely complex mess (at least to my puny human brain).  Trying to understand software you've not written and with the complexity of a web browser must take quite some doing!

@ TheGoose

No problemo, best if as many folk as possible can test it in case I make any mistakes while optimising it, no idea though how long it will take me though as being originally written in C the codes pretty messy... :)

@ TCMSLP

It's really quite simple enough to do, more time consuming than anything else, just a simple case of reverse engineering and tracing all the subroutines. That's one of the main reasons I don't code in C too inefficient especially with all those unneeded jumps & subroutines C code produces... :)

Even though I know nothing about Web Browsers it's like disassembling any piece of code, you don't really have to know what it's use is, your just simply looking to make the code more efficient and tidy it all up wee bit... :)

There's a version of AWeb included in ClassicWB, which I just put on my A1200 with an ACA1230/28.
Not home, so I don't know which version it is now..
But I use it and iBrowse to view websites (mostly google/aminet) and it doesn't crash on me with Images enabled...

It could be down to me lacking datatypes for images or whatnot, as it only occurs with images enabled.


If you're using a stock 3.1 install, you might need the updated picture.datatype.

Just to give you a hint where to look at or what to look for:

Using Aweb 3.5.8 (included in Amigakit Easynet wireless kit) and Aweb 3.5.9 (recently linked at EAB forums, sadly Aweb site seem to be down for good ^_^'):

-In my KS 3.1 + WB 3.1 Amiga 600 accelerated with a non-FPU ACA630 card it crashes with Guru 8000000B whenever images and/or javascript plug-ins are enabled (but works like a charm otherwise)

-In my KS 3.1 + WB 3.1 Amiga 1200 accelerated with a Blizzard MKIV 68030 card, which has an FPU, It never crashes and I can browse happily with images and javascript enabled.

8000000B guru is ussually associated with program trying to do FPU instructions when there is no one present.

So it could be some FPU-related issue (just a guess, anyway).

thanks for the datatype link. I'll check if that helps any

For me, the accepting of 500 cookies per page load keeps me pretty busy in Aweb, and I love me some cookies, but this is more troublesome than any graphics loading...

I have to to get a registered "full" version. Check my 3.5 disc...

Wasn't the source code for Aweb released as PD?

This is the demo which times out after 30 minutes, correct?

If there's a 'free' as in 'free' one without this restriction I'd be interested too!


You receive free OEM version (slightly restricted) of IBrowse 2.4 with the AmigaOS 4 CD. I use it since I purchased AmigaOS 4.1 back in September 2008. There are several restrictions though:
Five browser windows or browser tabs
Eight simultaneous connections
Four search bar entries
HTTP, FTP and file loading only.

I uploaded over HTTP many files, so I am not sure what the last restrictions means.

Yes, someone here pointed me towards it a wee while back but it was C source code... :(

Although largely supplanted by the Web in the years following, the Gopher protocol is still in use by enthusiasts, and a small population of actively-maintained servers remains.

Not really anymore, but maybe it was still a going concern when iBrowse was in vogue!

It seems that the only way to legally have somewhat unrestricted version of IBrowse is to purchase AmigaOS 4.

Code: [Select]

7.Workbench:Utilities/IBrowse> version IBrowse FULL
IBrowse 24.43 (22.12.2006)

Just popped OS4.0 into this Macs CD drive (didn't even realise it was on there) and one of the docs says this

Quote
*** 22-Dec-06 IBrowse 2.4 released to the public ***
*** 22-Dec-06 IBrowse 2.4 OEM built for AmigaOS4 ***

-sb- Misc master password fixes to avoid displaying the passwords when not
      authorized to do so

-sb- BUGID 1524: Master password can now be set multiple times during a
      session

-sb- BUGID 1523: Fixed a potential security hole with repeated chars as
      master password

-or- Don't show a second consecutive master password requester when
      submitting a form when there's already a password entry for the site

-or- BUGID 1525: Fixed image icons in the images dir not being freed
      after reading


Does that mean IBrowse is PD now cos if so then anybody want a copy... :)
