You may have noticed some problems with my khtmld project. It took me sometime to re-write the whole buffer processing function. I have also added a new feature, which allows you to communicate with khtmld through a socket.

Allover the code is now much more readable and the old function to read and process the buffer has been split up into 3 new ones:

• void fill_buffer(int fd)
  Handles the file descriptor and reads and process the input it also stores the buffer into argline, which than gets parsed by parseArgument
• void processArgument(char *argline)
  The passed argline gets split into two arguments arg1 the URL and arg2 the image filename. These variables getting passed to call_khtml2png2.
• int call_khtml2png2(char *url, *img)
  This one executes khtml2png with all parameters, the one stored in your ~/.khtmldrc and the two arguments passed to this function. It than hopefully creates your screenshot.

I am not done yet and I need to implement TCP Wrapper to increase the security while using the socket communication feature. But so far local tests without khtml2png and TCP Wrapper worked fine. I don't want to rush with this release, otherwise it could lead to a disaster like the last time, where the whole buffer processing was a real mess!
