My experience is that a small percentage of the time, for no obvious reason,
Facebook links work without JavaScript enabled.   (You get sent to a
redirection screen instead of just getting a blank page full of JavaScript.)
On any given session, if they work then they continue to work until you log
out.

However, it's perfectly possible to log in again half an hour later from the
same computer running the same instantiation of Netsurf and find that they
have stopped working again.   I've never been able to spot anything
specific that triggers it, and vaguely assumed that it depended which server
you got sent to at the other end

#2988 hanging

2015-10-12 Thread Gavin Wraith 
Twice in succession now I have found that NetSurf #2988, with
Javascript disabled, hangs when I try to browse
http://kenodoxia.blogspot.com/ .
This is on an Rpi 2 with RO 5.23.
When I switch on again I check the SD card with
DiscKnight. On the first occasion there were 9
faults. Mend them with DiscKnight and try again.
The same happens, but the second time there were
11 faults. After mending the second time I recheck
the SD card. SD card OK.

Site works fine here on Iyonix, with RO 5.22 and NS #2992, with JS on 
or off.

2988 has huge amounts of logging enabled.  Get 2992 - that works
with the URL above.

You probably broke NS while it was in the middle of writing the
log file.  Generating the log file takes ages - you think it's
crashed, but it's just very busy.
