@manuq: how we should implement this?

Nowadays, when an error occurs when a page is loading we load a error page in HTML format inside the same WebView that is being used.

The PDF case is a bit different because we do not create a WebView, instead of that we create a DummyBrowser and start the download process using a WebKit.Download and when it finishes we use Evince to show the PDF.

At the moment we have the signal 'error' of the WebKit.Download connected to log the reason. I think we should do something there to show the error page

I see two possibilities here:

  1. Create a common Browser -or a WebKit.WebView- (not a DummyBrowser) to show the error page.
  2. Create a Gtk widget that looks similar to the error page (something like the PDFMessageBox that you created.

Any other idea? What do you think?

  • Keywords r? added

@manuq: I'm attaching a candidate patch here. We need to decide how the error pages will look like because there are different styles among them. Also, we need to check the error message in the PDF error page (*)

(*) this error page is showed when:

  1. an error occurs when the PDF file is being dowloaded
  2. when we open a PDF file, close browse, disconnect from the network and resume browse again

  • Keywords r+ olpc-test-pending added; r? removed
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

For the styling consistency, we'll address that in #3969, the html message should match the ones made with gtk widgets.

I have pushed it after this changes:

  • icon change: read the icon from the activity/ folder, instead of adding a duplicate in icons/ folder
  • String changes: "this PDF" raplaced by "this document". In the other texts we talk about document instead of PDF. Also replaced "this web page" for "this document". Also set "Internet" with capital letter instead of "internet".
  • renam the progress message class from PDFMessageBox to PDFProgressMessageBox to avoid confusion

Pushed as 5e48a036 .
