I understand that, but the typo prevented compiling of WWWOFFLE and I
wanted to share the (simple) solution. The segfaulting WWWOFFLE was a bit
more annoying, because it was not clear to me if the bug could have been
introduced by me with other patches I was about to port from older
versions of WWWOFFLE. When I found the offending code, I was very pleased
that my code was OK :-)
My other patches do not correct errors, but introduce new features. I can
make them available next week, but first they need a bit of clean up.
Until now it is just one big blob of a diff. I will separate the diff into
one file for each feature, so that they can be applied independently of
each other. I have not published them before, because I was nearly always
at least two release numbers of WWWOFFLE behind.
Is it OK to put those patches on this mailing list? Or should I better
post only some URLs to my homepage?
The features introduced by the patches are:
- wwwoffle-hash: An addition to wwwoffle-tools which prints WWWOFFLEs idea
of URL encryption. It is usefull for shell scripts working on the spool,
since the days of a simple MD5 are long gone.
- process status: In the process table (viewed with 'ps') the binary name
and command line parameters of WWWOFFLE server processes are replaced by
the URLs handled by those processes along with connection status and
download percentage. Very useful for monitoring the fetching mode.
- spool archive: This enables WWWOFFLE to read archived spool directories
when a requested page could not be found in the primary spool. Since this
patch enables WWWOFFLE only to read those archived spool directories, even
'/cdrom' is possible.

I saw the patches, but since I personally have no real need for IPv6 now,
I compiled WWWOFFLE without IPv6 support.
