#374 Red links for non existing pages

[echo0]

Hello,

Display red links for non existing pages for the http_server appmode. I think it's not a priority but it really improves xowa experience :)

Thanks for fixing my other tickets ;)

Thanks for creating a ticket.

I'm going to copy and paste my response from an earlier ticket here. The best option is the third, but that will take me a while. I may do the first as a stop-gap measure.

• Have the server wait until XOWA gets redlink data for everything
  • This approach is problematic in that pages will take longer to serve (XOWA has to check every link to see if it exists)
• Generate an HTML dump for the wiki that has redlink data
  • This approach is problematic in that it doesn't yet exist (it will as I get Android done in the next month or two)
• Build an asynchronous AJAX client on the client side and have it poll the server
  • This approach is best, but it requires some significant coding on my side.

In my opinion, it's not important that you fix that now, choose the best solution which avoids a double work. The second seems to be the best one even if it will be available in two months. If I'm the only user to ask a fix for that I'll wait.

Ok. Point duly noted. Thanks.
