The Curl web applet at http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/jlpt-5-1.curl has a curious property − can you spot it ?

hint: click in vertical slider; resize page; click again.

note: a Curl applet will only run with the Surge RTE browser plugin from www.curl.com installed.

How to enable the Curl plugin in Google Chrome browser

With the latest updates - whether to Chrome or to Curl - my own Curl applets ceased to run in my Chrome browser.

There was no warning and the plugins are not in the Tools list.

The cure is to enter

chrome://plugins/

as a URI in the address bar and then set the Curl Surge RTE plugins to Always allowed.

There was no warning as with either Java or Adobe Flash.

NOTE: on that plugins page, the Curl plugins were NOT listed as DISABLED !

Google has decided that they know what is best for what they view as "little used plugins" - something decidely anti-competitive.

Curl in Puppy linux

The latest release of the Curl web language browser plugin (8.0.03 for curl9) is now running in my RAM-resident Puppy linux on this old Asus 900A netbook - it boots from an SD chip thanks to grub.

Gettting Curl to run required going into a bin in the path as root and adding a sym-link to surge-do over in /opt/curl/surge/9/bin/surge-do which made possible manually launching the Surge manager, the Curl docs viewer and the development IDE.

What remained was to get Curl applets to run in SeaMonkey and Firefox browsers. That required  visit as root to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and the creation of 3 sym-links to the 3 key .so files in /opt/curl/surge/9/lib

EX:

su
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /opt/curl/surge/9/lib/libcurl-surge-8-0.so ./libcurl-surge-8-0.so

and ditto for 7-0 and for the generic libcurl-surge.so
