This item has been reassigned from the project mldonkey, a multi-networks file-sharing client patch tracker to your tracker.

The original report is still available at patch #4482

[field #11]      Original Submission: We can then incoorporate different external searches or other things into mldonkey, without recompiling for every change/addition.

I used xsltproc to test it out. http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc2.html
We might just execute the external xsltproc binary from mldonkey and translate the output into results.
But I didn t code that yet.

Moving this patch to the task tracker.
Let MLDonkey depend on external binaries is IMHO not a good option,
having in mind the numerous platforms MLDonkey works on.
Working the "Unix way" on Windows is not easy;-)
Also I would propose to put link parsing functionality into an
external application like a GUI to let MLDonkey only do the
downloading, this would be more like the "Unix way".

The clean way is the mldonkey way, like every other lib it currently uses.  Mldonkey doesn't spawn external binaries AFAIK.

These new search types and their search results must be available to all interfaces and be fully integrated. Everything comes back to common. I would guess similar to the way commonBitzi makes requests for bitzi tickets, but instead of Xml.parsing the result, in this case it would Xslt.parse(?) the result and create commonResults which can then be handled like any other search.

So you think the unix way is "not clean".

Anyway xsltproc is just an application that is an userinterface (or something like that) for libxslt. So it's not hard to link the same functionality in.
About gdome_xslt, it uses libxslt, too. We don't need the additional functionality that gdome_xslt provides, at least now.

It's just an easy way to extend mldonkeys functionality, without putting yet another lib. in. (So it would be an runtime option if you want to provide the xsltproc binary.) However in the long run we perhaps should link the functionality in (if only for easy distribution and performance reasons).

When this is too long around without getting a propper patch i'll move it to another tracker. (I like to do it, but i'm not sure when i will. So anyone may feel invited.)

This is not a patch for mldonkey. Maybe tasks would be a better place if you plan to write this?

Executing extenal binaries is not clean. Maybe some bindings would help.

replace QUERY and execute the following to test it:
wget -O tpb.html 'http://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=QUERY'
xsltproc --html --warnnet tpb.xslt tpb.html >out.xml
