Thanks Russell. I downloaded r8378 today & the problem is still there. Oh

report?

Yes, in that I get the same error message as you with
NetSurf r8240 from , while it
loads without any difficulty into Fresco.

PC (which has Firefox, Safari, Opera and IE8) is not
switched on at present...

Re-direct problem?

[Chris Newman]

Hi folks,

The Museum of Bath at Work has a website, the URL of which has changed over
the years.
The old URL still works with Netsurf.

http://www.paulbg.com/bathatwork/


However, the following new one given in their literature does not.

http://www.bath-at-work.org.uk

I get the error message "transfer closed with outstanding read data
remaining."

It seems to involve a re-direct to

http://www.bathatwork.co.uk/


Both these latter URLs work OK in Phoenix, Oregano2 & Browse with WebServe on
my RiscPC & Firefox on my PC so it must be a glitch peculiar to Netsurf.

Can anyone replicate this behaviour?
Any ideas about what is going on?

Regards,

I thought that was known as 'House Style', and generally to
be recommended.

I accept that posters and adverts may fall outwith this
concept, though!

:-)

With hundreds of magpied font families, some may only be used once or
 never, for a specific (printed on paper) document or to create a web
 image. You use a font manager to avoid having hundreds of
seldom-used decorative and blackletter fonts active all the time and
consequent slowness and HUGE font menus in programs such as (insert
name of any program which allows you to select a font).


We all know why you may want to use a selection from a larger collection
 of fonts, the issue is how you make use of them in a way which doesn't
cause problems with NetSurf


I would imagine that if I didn't swap active fonts around, and had
them all active all the time, NetSurf would take at least three eons
to scan them all several times every day and other software would
explode, as would my brain.  ;-)


Try starting NetSurf at boot when you have a small standard set of fonts 
active, then you can bugger about with your font manager later in the 
session. Ensure that the font manager restores same standard when you 
next boot, and NetSurf/RUFL will me none the wiser, and wont rescan.
