huge wnpp bug report page

2006-08-04 Thread Hendrik Sattler
Hi,

I tried to take a look at the wnpp bug page but neither Konqueror nor Firefox 
were able to handle it on my system. 3182462 bytes for the HTML code of a 
single web page is a bit much, isn't it?

So I was just wondering if it is really necessary to show 3500 resolved issues 
by default? They could be moved to a different page.

Additionally, all links contain the server name. Why? Using
a href=bugreport.cgi?bug=123456/a
would be enough and would save a lot regarding download size. All 
the http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/; prefixes could be ommitted. This would 
reduce page size by 93 bytes per bug ( 500KB total).

I hope that something can be done about this to make the BTS web pages more 
usable.

HS

Are you perhaps not aware of the much smaller indices into the BTS here?

Really? Galeon handles it fine, as does Firefox (the latter on win32).

Possibly. It's also 25% greater than the size of the page you quoted
(wgetting the page gives an output of 2634857 bytes).

Erm... no, they don't. For instance, having a copy of ftp.d.o's bug page
handy :) :

lia href=bugreport.cgi?bug=271782#271782: udeb sources need to be in
sarge/a

Indeed, didn't know it, yet. And much better :)

Really. Firefox gets very slow, konqueror needs ages to load the page 
(over a DSL line) and somewhere in between doesn't respond anymore.

Maybe, I looked at the code from firefox, maybe it made them absolute 
automatically (it didn't ask if it should :-( ).
Still, 2.5MB pure text+html is way too much.
