Tag the source code that was used to build and test Dict version 0.9.0.
-
OPTION MIME Support
-
@dict-0.9.0.xpi has been released. This is identical in functionality to the latest attachment on this thread, so if you already installed that one, there's no reason to install the "official" one.
-
dictextension released /@dict-0.9.0.xpi
-
Clarify instructions for executing the final test case.
-
Use native line endings to make it easier to edit with notepad on Windows.
-
Change some nomenclature in the test plan: defining a word -> looking up a word
-
Use native EOL to make it easier to edit in notepad.
-
Set the version to 0.9.0 for a formal release.

great now

This one limits the width of the window resizing to the screen's width. It's not perfect, as you may still have to move the window to see the content, but I don't intend to fix that. I've already put too much time into this.
-
Use 6 instead of 8 when looking up HTML content on dict.bibleonline.ru.
-
Limit the window size to the size of the screen.
-
Refactoring: move shared logic into createHtmlDefinition() to avoid code duplication
-
The width of the monitor screen should determine the width of the window. Sometimes the window is very wide and goes beyond the boundaries of the screen.
-
I disagree with your argument that it's incorrect for a client to reformat content which a server provides. For example, if the server were actually returning full HTML documents (complete with <html>, <head>, <body>, and <script> tags), I think the client would have an obligation to modify that HTML as it concatenates the definitions from several databases into a single document. The Dict extension does not do this, nor do I intend to make it do this, but I think it's incorrect that it doesn't....
-
Fix a few copy&paste errors where a MIME header was added where it shouldn't have been.
-
Use CSS instead of HTML and explicit line breaks to format the definitions.
-
Fix a bug where the newline from the end of the MIME header was included in the definition.
-
Very good. However, the result may be ideal if you remove the CODE tag or change its modifiers so that there is no effect on the line break. Now this tag manifests itself as if the characters ‘\ n’ are replaced with the tags <BR>. I consider that such behaviour is not correct since MIME header: Content-type: text/html; ... determines the type of information as a hypertext — a subtype html points to that text format wich already exists with all needed tags and extra tags are not needed. ...

-
Add a regression test for when one definition has unknown MIME content, but another has a supported MIME content.
-
Fix a UI weirdness where, if the DICT server responded with definitions which all included unknown MIME types, then an empty window would be shown. Now it shows a "no definitions found", which is better, even if it's still not perfect.

Fix two bugs in the implementation of OPTION MIME
-
Fix bug #12; Add support for OPTION MIME for Content-Type text/html
-
Thanks for the explanation. I see now that I had misread the RFC. For dictd, the MIME header is blank, not missing. That is conforming and it means to assume plain/text. I got something working, which I have attached as @dict.xpi. I haven't tested it much or even commited the code changes, but I got the HTML for 02580 to appear and I'm too tired to continue tonight. As I mentioned above, to install it, you'll have to into "about:config" and disable code signing on all extensions. By the way, if you...

I tried heb-rus_strong on dict.bibleonline.ru, but I wasn't able to discover words in that dictionary. Can you provide a word that is in the heb-rus_strong dictionary and which has MIME content that I can use for testing? You can just search for the occurrences of a Strong's number. Type in the number 5485, the number for the Greek word charis, "grace” (in the grk-rus_strong dictionary). If you want to locate a Hebrew word, simply add a 0 before the number, as in 02580, the number for the Hebrew...

I looked into this today, but wasn't able to figure out how to get a DICTD server to return the mime content. The protocol looks simple, the client should send OPTION MIME And the server replies with 250 ok - using MIME headers But, even so, subsequent responses to DEFINE commands are missing the content-type/content-encoding headers. I tried heb-rus_strong on dict.bibleonline.ru, but I wasn't able to discover words in that dictionary. Can you provide a word that is in the heb-rus_strong dictionary...

I was able to build dict-extension on Windows XP and load it into the now-unsupported Firefox that was on the machine. To load the extension, I had to go into "about:config" and disable code signing on all extensions. Presumablly, if you running an unsupported web browser on an unsupported operating system, you don't care much about security and so this wouldn't upset you. However, you're the only person who would ever be able to use this, and only until your Windows XP machine dies, so if I did...
-
All clear. I have Windows XP. Firefox is no longer updated (thank God!). Maybe for this reason I can still use your extension.
-
How are you still using this? Firefox has dropped support for any "legacy" extension and I wasn't able to figure out how to use the DICT protocol with their Firefox's modern API. I was able to get Dict to be compatible with Electrolysis, but then the Firefox developers said that wasn't enough. So I had to stop using my extension a year or so ago. Even if were able to get MIME content working, addons.mozilla.com wouldn't accept my change because they don't accept "legacy" extensions. And all exensions...
