It's an incomplete emulator.
I though it was just as good as using a computer and nothing else. like no redstone, disk drives, modems etc, because it uses the mod file itself.

Thanks :D




The current plan with Quest is to, at some point in the future, make a proper, 'the real deal' web browser using Silica. Essentially, there will be a built-in web browser view that you will be able to use in your own Silica programs.

As we have a much better resolution and Silica has the magic to do all these things, we'll have multiple fonts, font sizes, real images (GIF, PNG, etc) and some CSS support (but not everything sadly because that'll take forever).

Now I'm just praying that Dan will add a far superior HTTP API...

I love this!

Out of curiosity, will it have any Javascript support?

Good question, hadn't thought really thought about that. It depends on whether an existing parser in Lua exists. I've very little interest in making one.

It's a good point though... It will basically render most normal sites useless without it.

Precisely. You are still left to mainly text-oriented websites, even with basic CSS support.

I can build a PNG reader for your Browser, if Dan200 doesn't add functionality for drawing PNG files.

Any way we can view the source of a site?

If you want to use PHP to get the browser version of quest, here is an example. It returned "Quest/v0.9.0 Private Beta" for me.
<!DOCTYPE ccml>
<html>
<head>
<title>Browser Info</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?>
</p>
</body>
</html>

First of all, Super awesome program, you have done what many wanted, i do have a few questions

Does this use rednet? so that other programs can use the same cable too?
also can you use Lua on a page on the server for form processing and stuff? like how does that work?

Also can you implement http://www.computerc...y-cryptography/
to be able to have secure connections, or a similar API that fits the needs, make it so servers can turn it on or off

It doesn't use Rednet, but you can run a server over wifi. I will not be adding Rednet support as I am no longer working on this.

You could try to manually implement preprocessing, but I'm not going to help with that; but it's not built in.

As with Rednet support, I won't be adding secure connections as I'm not working on this anymore.

Do you mind then if i make a rednet version? because it would be nice to simply be able to use it with everything over all the networks.
for security i may make a rednet api expansion for making connections and making them secure

This is literally a browser. It parses info and displays it, it does not care how the info comes and it certainly does not route network messages. That is the reason TCP/IP exists.
