LYNX-DEV <base href> change hurts me badly


From: Will Mengarini
Subject: LYNX-DEV <base href> change hurts me badly
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 1997 09:28:16 -0800 (PST)

I just built the new Lynx 2-7.  I have been using the 2-6 release.
One of the things that was working fine with 2-6 was accessing some
Emacs documentation on the web.  The complete reference manuals for
the editor & for e-lisp are available, but their tables of contents
are so large that I found it worth the time to code a script that
created a more hierarchical table of contents from the canonical one.
My hierarchical table would have a page of entries showing each of
the major topics, & each of those topics would link to its subtopics.
The subtopics might link directly to the text, which would be
an http:// URL linking to the copy on the remote server, or they might
link to subsubtopics, which would be further down in the local table
of contents.  So http:// links were intermixed with file:// links.

This local table of contents was built from a remote copy that used
entirely relative URLs internally, so what I did to intermix the
two types of links was put in <base href> tags to indicate whether
the relative URLs were to refer to the remote copy or to a subtopic
list further down in the document.  This worked fine under 2-6.
There were 80 <base href> tags in the 627-line document.
I have several such local tables of contents.

When I tried to load the file under 2-7, I got a display "Alert!: HREF
in BASE tag is not an absolute URL.", & then Lynx appeared to hang;
I had to terminate with ^C.  After puzzling over this for a while,
I realized this wasn't really a hang; it was pausing after each of
numerous <base href> tags that it used to accept but no longer accepted,
probably 2 seconds each, & since there are so many, the result appears
to be a hang.  I was able to get the file to load with -nopause.
However, that's a new feature in 2-7, & very few users will know
about it.  What will actually happen is that as soon as they try the
new Lynx on a file like this that used to work, they'll observe what
appears to be a program failure, conclude that the upgrade is bogus, &
be disinclined in the future to trust upgrades from lynx.browser.org.
Therefore, increasing numbers of users will continue using old versions
of the browser & trying to get support for it, &, when they ask for help
from the mailing lists, will disregard advice to upgrade.  It shouldn't
require some special command-line switch, because almost nobody will
know about that switch, & will just assume the upgrade is failing.

Imagine that happening when the user is a patron of a public
library.  Not only won't the patron know what's wrong, neither will
the librarian, nor even (realistically) the library's computer
"gurus".  The only way they'll be able to get around the Lynx
"hang" is by *rebooting*, & when the trouble report reaches the
library's gurus, they'll immediately downgrade to the previous
version of Lynx, & be strongly disinclined to ever upgrade again.
Imagine the same scenario at ISPs with unsophisticated sysops.

That, however, is only the first problem.  It seems to me that the
way I used <base href> is very useful & desirable.  I'm not sure
what problem is supposed to be being solved by the new restrictions.
If it's just a matter of conforming to some RFC that Netscrape &
Exploiter do not conform to, then imposing this extra bondage &
discipline on Lynx users merely constitutes an additional disincentive
to use Lynx.  This may be a situation analogous to "historical
comments"; doing "the right thing" is a useful capability if HTML
is correct, but causes major lossage in real life, so we needed the
historical comments option in lynx.cfg, & needed to make it the default.

Even if the new <base href> discipline does solve a problem
in real life, it's likely to also create other problems,
so it might be wiser for the old behavior to be the
default, & the "right thing" to be an option in lynx.cfg.

Here's a snippet from the beginning of one of these
HTML files.  The comment describes the creation of the
original HTML file; the file below is modified from that.

The <base href> tags that are being rejected are the ones of the form
  <base href="/~/emacs_toc.utah.htm">
which were accepted by 2-6.  All of these alternatives
  <base href="/u/s/seldon/emacs_toc.utah.htm">
  <base href="file://localhost/u/s/seldon/emacs_toc.utah.htm">
  <base href="file://localhost/u/u8/s/seldon/emacs_toc.utah.htm">
also fail.  More importantly, they all fail the same way, *ALL* of
them refusing to cause subsequent URLs to refer to the file they name;
instead, those URLs all continue to refer to the file being rendered.
I would think a <base href> should just mean what it says, especially
when it's a complete file:// URL with nothing elided.  The text of
the alert seems to imply that an absolute URL would be accepted.

(One technical note: the physical address of my Unix $HOME on my
ISP is /u/u8/s/seldon, but the file system accepts /u/s/seldon, so
the physical location can be omitted; this is necessary since that
location is constantly changing.  That's why I tried both forms in
the <base href>s above.  I think there's been another improvement to
Lynx that is now causing it to use /u/u8/s where it should use /u/s,
& this could be another bug, but I'll address it in a separate post.)

Actually, when I was originally creating these local tables of
contents, what I really wanted for the local <base href>s was a way
of saying "this file", but I wasn't aware of a way.  Now, it seems,
any formerly-valid file:// URL is a way of referring to "this file"
(that's what the subsequent links get rendered as regardless of
what local file the file:// URL actually referred to), as long as
you know about -nopause & are willing to put up with the kluge; but
clearly that's not what was intended when <base href> was improved.
So if somebody could show me an HTML alternative that achieves
the same result as I was getting with this HTML under 2-6, I can
probably survive, after a few hours reediting multiple local tables of
contents.  That won't help other users who get burned this way, though.

So I'm asking these questions:
* Am I right that for Lynx 2-7 to appear to *HANG* when rendering a file
  that was rendered successfully & usefully by 2-6--rendered "correctly"
  by 2-6, really, for all but pedantic values of "correctly"--is a
  showstopper bug, because it'll make users & administrators conclude
  that the latest & greatest Lynx "upgrade" from lynx.browsers.org
  is failing catastrophically on files on which 2-6 used to work,
  so our upgrades can no longer be trusted?  If so, how do we fix
  this?  Is my suggestion for pausing only on the first alert feasible?
  Is it adequate?
* Considering that the old <base href> behavior could be used to do
  useful things that no longer work under 2-7, are we sure 2-7 is doing
  the Right Thing from the standpoint of making the software survivable
  in the real world, even apart from whether it's doing the Right Thing
  from an academic standpoint?  Wouldn't it be better to use the same
  strategy as was used with historical comments?  Doesn't the same
  argument as in the previous point, about an "upgrade" really *losing*
  functionality, apply to this point as well, so that if we don't use
  a historical strategy, we're deterring users from upgrading?
* I remember spending many hours searching online HTML documentation
  when I first created my local tables of contents, trying to
  get <base href> usage right, & I ended up just needing to hack
  until I found something that worked.  Is there a hack I could
  apply to the HTML I showed above that'd make it alert-free under
  2-7?  Remember that although this would solve my problems, &
  I'd be grateful for it, it doesn't help other users who may
  be using "historical base hrefs" which no longer work, either
  because file:// <base href>s now all seem to refer to the
  current file, or because they're getting the apparent hang.

The file snippet I gave above showed both types of <base href>
tags that I was using, but didn't contain the multiple levels of
hierarchy that are the whole point of the local table of contents,
so it might not be clear from that what I'm trying to accomplish.
Therefore, the rest of this post contains one complete such table
of contents.  If you copy it to a file named elisp_toc.indiana.htm
in your home directory, you should be able to use it with Lynx
2-6 to access an online copy of the e-lisp reference manual.  You
should find it fairly easy to navigate to any topic that interests
you.  When you finally access text from the remote server, you'll
find that it contains links back to the table of contents, but
since the remote server doesn't know about the local table, you can
follow one of those links to get the original table of contents
from which the local copy was created by 2 gawk scripts.  You'll
find the original table much harder to browse, because it contains
only one level of hierarchy.  If you try this with 2-7, you'll get the
apparent hang; if you then try -nopause, you'll be able to render &
use the file, but only after staring for a few seconds at an alert the
meaning of which is unclear.  Note that if multiple <base href> tags
referred to *different* local files, 2-7 would fail totally; it "works"
in this case only because there's only *one* local file referred to
by the file:// URL, & it happens to be the one containing the URL.

Here is my elisp_toc.indiana.htm:
