[Dillo-dev] Error message when starting 3.1-dev from xterm

[walt...@waltdnes.org]

Wnen starting up from an xterm, and then exiting, I get the
following.

** ERROR **: prefsparser: Syntax error in dillorc: name="(null)" value="(null)"
Domain: Default accept.
dillo_dns_init: Here we go! (threaded)
Disabling cookies.
Dillo: normal exit!

I moved my custom dillorc, and copied the generic one, i.e.

/usr/local/dillo/etc/dillo/dillorc

to check that it wasn't something I did. It still gets the same error.

It looks like dParser_parse_rc_line() does not deal
very well with the case where the line is not empty,
is not a comment, and lacks an '='.

Strange, I don't get that warning on the default dillorc nor on my
$HOME/.dillo/dillorc?

BINGO!

cd .dillo
grep -v "=" dillorc | grep -v "^#" > z.txt

.dillo/z.txt contains a bunch of blank lines, plus the line...

* HSTS directives are not saved between browser sessions.

Changing that line to start with "#" instead of "*" gets rid of the

error.

Fixed the typo, and I changed the error msg to print the line number.
