Hello from smolfedi on #NetSurf!!

This is the lightest browser I could get working (had auth problems with every other #smol browser I tried).

It kinda lacks keyboard navigation badly (NetSurf, that is), but I'm still liking #SmolFedi a lot, and am looking forward to trying it on my sixteen-year-old #OpenBSD #Thinkpad. ;)

Maybe the excellent #Dillo browser dev can poke at it? ;) @dillo

@rl_dane @dillo there is also brutaldon if you never tried it out
@rl_dane it does work with Dillo. Usable with and without remote CSS.

@bbbhltz

Strange, maybe #GoToSocial just doesn't like it?

An error occured:

Internal Server Error: key redirect_uri not found in session: If you arrived at this error during a sign in/oauth flow, please try clearing your session cookies and signing in again; if problems persist, make sure you're using the correct credentials

Request ID: 0000378ccb7zp06zykeg

@rl_dane I'd love to be able to tell you I worked some magic, but I clicked login, entered my mastodon credentials, it said "you need js" and when I reloaded the other frontend I was connected.

@rl_dane @bbbhltz which dillo version? You can check with "dillo -v".

You'll need to build it from git to get the oauth fix and enable cookies for both smolfedi and your fedi server.

There is a known bug that prevents it from working the first time, but reloading should make it work. Is it my long TODO to fix it.

@dillo @bbbhltz

Ah, I'm using the FreeBSD-packaged version on this box. I usually compile it myself, but neglected to here.

rld@Intrepid:~$ dillo -v Dillo v3.2.0 Libraries: fltk/1.3.10 zlib/1.3.1 jpeg/3.1.2 png/1.6.55 webp/1.6.0 OpenSSL/3.0.16 Features: +GIF +JPEG +PNG +SVG +WEBP +XEMBED +TLS
@rl_dane @bbbhltz okay, so that seems to be the problem. If you try with git and still cannot make it work let me know as it could be a new bug.

@dillo @bbbhltz

Scratching my head as to how to install libjpeg-dev in #FreeBSD. I'll try puzzling over it later.

@rl_dane @bbbhltz from https://www.freshports.org/www/dillo2 seems to be "graphics/jpeg-turbo".
FreshPorts -- www/dillo2: Fast, small graphical Web browser built upon fltk

Dillo aims to be a multiplatform alternative browser that's small, stable, developer-friendly, usable, fast, and extensible. This new, experimental version of Dillo is based upon FLTK toolkit, rather than GTK1, and has been substantially rewritten.

@dillo @bbbhltz

Thanks. I do have it installed, but configure doesn't want to see it, for some reason.

@rl_dane @bbbhltz we don't see to be handling includedir, on the docs we use directly the CPPFLAGS var:

https://git.dillo-browser.org/dillo/about/doc/install.md

./configure CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib'

Make sure that /usr/local/include/jpeglib.h exists.

@rl_dane correction, is not that we don't handle "--includedir" is that is not used to specify where to search for headers, but to define where to install dillo header files if they were. So CPPFLAGS should be used for this.

> Fine tuning of the installation directories:
...
--includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include]

@dillo

Thanks, I got it to compile now (well, once I switched to gmake ;)

I get as far as the "Allow" screen of GoToSocial (https://polymaths.social/oauth/authorize), but clicking on the "Allow" button doesn't do anything. Trying to refresh the page or manually go on to the next page (https://smolfedi.pollux.casa/callback.php) doesn't seem to work, either.

It could just be a GtS issue.

This is what the pertinent snippet of the html of that page looks like:

<div class="page-content"> <main> <section class="with-form" aria-labelledby="authorize"> <h2 id="authorize">Authorize app</h2> <form action="/oauth/authorize" method="POST"> <p>Hi <b>rl_dane</b>!</p> <p> Application <b>SmolFedi/smolfedi.pollux.casa</b> would like to perform actions on your behalf, with scope <em>read write follow</em>. </p> <p> To continue, the application will redirect to: <code>https://smolfedi.pollux.casa/callback.php</code> </p> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Allow</button> </form> </section> </main> </div>

@rl_dane nice! Let us know if we could improve the FreeBSD instructions to build dillo.

Hmm, it should submit the form, there is nothing strange with the HTML. I would need to reproduce it on my side, I could try to find a GoToSocial instance to make a test account. I see polymaths is closed for signups.

@dillo

@amin might be able to set you up with one for testing, once he wakes up. :)

@rl_dane @dillo

Hmm how about you sign up for an account on https://projects.polymaths.social

Seems like the best way to work things out. Signups should be open there now.

Polymaths.social Projects - GoToSocial

An instance for members of Polymaths.social to host project accounts.

@amin @rl_dane done, thanks!

@dillo @rl_dane

Approved.

There are some slight oddities in the instance configuration; namely, I think I told it not to hold on to any images, to save on storage space, since people aren't usually browsing fedi via project accounts. Should be fine for OAuth debugging, though; lemme know if you need any config tweaks and I'll see what I can do.

@amin @rl_dane thanks!

I can reproduce the error:

Bad Request: Key: 'OAuthAuthorize.ResponseType' ...

It seems that for some reason cookies are not propagated to the /oauth/authorize endpoint, likely a Dillo problem.

@amin @rl_dane so, there were two bugs:

- The Max-Age parsing of the cookie was using the local time instead of UTC, so it was rejecting the cookie for me as it was considering it expired.

- The submit response of the form was being cached because it has the same URL as the current page.

They should both be fixed in the fix-oauth branch:

https://git.dillo-browser.org/dillo/log/?h=fix-oauth

Let me know if that is not the case :)

@dillo @amin

Sorry that I'm not very git-educated, is there a URL I can clone for testing? (Or a tarball to download?)
