Berkelium chrome://net-internals

[JB]

Hi,

I would like to flush the DNS Cache between two pages refresh.
From Chromium I just need to go to chrome://net-internals#dns and click the button to delete the cache (or execute a Javascript command).

I have integrated Berkelium in my Ogre project following the berkelium/ogre tutorial and everything works fine except the chrome:// protocol.
If I type for example http://google.com, I get to Google home page but if I type chrome://net-internals (or any other chrome:// command), berkelium shows the page :
This Web Page is not found
No webpage was found for the address chrome://...
Error 6 (net::ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)

I'm using the function navigateTo(url, len(url)).
Do you know how I could display the chrome://net-internals or any chrome:// file ?

Thanks a lot for your help,
JB

Just throwing hypothesis here, don't really have time to deep into the code...

• Did this feature exist on Chrome11?
• Maybe you can just clear the cache files in the home directory specified when initializing Berkelium and it'll clear the DNS cache...

chrome://settings/ seems to open something...

Hi Romain,

Thanks for the answer.
The feature exist on Chrome 11. Actually when I launch Chrome11 or Berkelium executable file, I can access the chrome://net-internals page but when I use the liblibberkelium.so library file in another project I can't access this page anymore. The same for chrome://settings.

I tried to delete the cache files but it didn't change anything.

Thanks,
JB

If you have the time to dive into chromium code you should be able to find the function that is called when you clear the DNS cache through chrome://net-internals

You should then be able to expose that function to Berkelium and call it from within your program whenever you feel like it.

I think I'm going to do that and post the solution if I find it.
Thanks
