Short: Small web browser for AmigaOS 3.2 (no WebKit)

Version: 0.4.2
Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.2
Distribution: Aminet

GFOpenBrowser Lite is a small web browser for AmigaOS 3.2: a GadTools window
that opens http:// and https:// pages and lays them out, in about 100 KB.

What it shows:

  • headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, preformatted text, rules
  • links: click one to follow it, or pick it from Links...
  • pictures, through the system's datatypes (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP and
    more, whichever datatypes are installed), scaled to their box
  • CSS: the page's <style>, style= and up to eight linked stylesheets;
    element, class and ID selectors; colours, sizes, margins, padding,
    alignment, display: none
  • Back, Reload, an address field, and ARexx: OPENURL on the
    port AMICRADLE.BROWSER (GFOpenMail opens its links that way)

What it doesn't do: JavaScript, forms, frames, table grids, web fonts. For
those there is GFOpenBrowser on WebKit (much larger).

Requirements:

  • AmigaOS 3.2 or newer
  • a 68040 with FPU (hard float; not an LC or EC040)
  • a TCP/IP stack (bsdsocket.library)
  • for https://: GFOpenTLS (LIBS:gfopentls.library and gfopencrypto.library) and
    its CA list, S:GFOpenTLS/ca-bundle.pem (GFOpenUp's GFOpenTLS part)

Its page engine, weblayout, is built on GFOpenLayout and kept behind one
header so that it can become a shared weblayout.library.
