I am not longer developing this program and will not be offering support or adding new features.

If you're wanting to make a CCML page, checkout this tutorial.

TL;DR This is a super-mega-awesome HTML based web browser to surf the interwebs… in ComputerCraft.

Download

Client (you probably want this): pastebin get VDUGPdiA quest
Wi-Fi Server: pastebin get qpWzu0HA questserver

Be aware, this is still kinda buggy.

Screenshots

If you make any awesome websites let me know, I might but them here!

The Hub homepage.

A 'The Hub' search results page.

The interface for editing your Quest Host site.

The registration page for Quest Host.

The Wi-Fi server settings page.

The Wi-Fi server log interface.

The Overly Verbose Backstory and Details

Since I started making OneOS I wanted to make a web browser that would actually work like your standard web browser. It would display pages off the internet in some form of HTML. Firewolf and similar programs are good, but you have to do everything in Lua and you have to run it off an in-game sever (at least I think, I haven't really used them that much). Some of them also use Pastebin which really isn't ideal.

It doesn't support full HTML pages, it's simply not possible due to the screen limitations. But the customised version is very close to the real thing. Here's a few of the notable things it does support:

Embedded images
Links (both absolute and relative)
Session persistence (i.e. cookies or being able to login, etc)
Forms (text boxes, buttons, etc.)
Embedded Lua with a jQuery like API

There are also, at this stage, two essential web sites/services.

The first is called 'The Hub'. At this stage it's a pretty barebones (but still neat) search engine, but it will eventually hopefully become a bit more of a hub for everything with news, etc.

The second is called 'Quest Host'. Basically it allows you to easily host your own static (i.e. no PHP) web pages with your own domain. Any site hosted on Quest Host uses the .qst TLD. So, if you're site is called 'mygames' it will be found at 'mygames.qst'.

You can also host a server over Wi-Fi, like you could using Rednet with Firewolf. At the moment they're only static pages, but I might make a PHP type language for it (or someone else could, nudge nudge wink wink :P/>). Each server has it's own name, such as basesite, and you can then go to wifi://basesite to access it.

More Rambling/Known Issues

Quest Host is a little annoying to use at the moment, but you don't have to use it. If you've got a web server on the internet (use 000webhost if you don't) you can host a site easily.

The Hub search engine isn't amazing really. I'm fairly happy with it, but it's no where near as good as Google.

Everything is probably super buggy, please let me know about any bugs you find.

This will be added to OneOS 1.3 when it's stable enough.

Every time I open up Quest (on both my own world, and on Grim's server), it just refuses to connect. It's stuck on "loading…". I've tried manually putting in "http://thehub.qst" I've tried clicking "Go Home" but none of those work..

EDIT: Sometimes, it will pop up with "Page Load Cancelled", but sometimes it still just keeps "Loading…"

Hmm, I presume registering worked. Maybe try going to google.com, it should complain about the doctype being wrong. I'll take a look on Grim's server and see what the problem is. What CC version out of curiosity?

Try going to: http://quest.net76.net/

If that doesn't work there's not much I can do unfortunately. Basically your ISP is probably blocking the server. Unless someone is willing to pay for hosting I have to use 000WebHost, which isn't ideal.

I tried the same and got the same output. My ISP isnt the problem.
Its just like it doesnt get the proper connection to the server. ( like Quest is confused of what to do )

I hope theres a fix soonoe :)/>

CCEmuRedux works fine for absolutely everything else, why would it be any different than being in-game?

Please try going to that address, if that doesn't work it's not a bug in Quest, but it's still something I need to fix. If you can get on to it it's a bug in Quest I need to fix.

That happens after the page times out, which is after 20 seconds. Some emulators have pretty wonky timing systems, so 1 second might end up only being 0.25 seconds and doesn't give enough time to load the page.

I'd like to make it work with most emulators. It won't work with Mimic as it uses http.post for everything. I'll give CCEmuRedux a shot this afternoon.

Yep, but might be a little buggy. I've noticed a strange bug with the compressed single file version, the text boxes are white by default strangely. They should be light grey.

If something doesn't work in an emulator, test it in-game. If it works in-game, it's a problem with the emulator, not the program. None of the emulators available are fantastic, but some do reasonably well.

Very weird. Any sort of proxy works. Any help asking my webhost to unblock net76.net?
EDIT: Also, ccappstore.com is blocked. Idk whats happening, nothing else is blocked. When I run both of these websites through a proxy, they work fine….

While both are hosted by 000WebHost, Quest uses server 14 while the appstore uses server 13. I'd say it's your ISP, which one are you using?

Try going to all of these and see which ones do/do not work.
server14.000webhost.com
server13.000webhost.com

Will there be an API to use Quest in Programs? To run Quest at a specific website (I try quest http://someurl.. And it doesn't work)
And a method to run quest without the banner so that you can create Web Apps.
That would be cool, for Blogs, etc…

Hi Oeed its a really awesome program :D/>
But i found some bugs

1st bug: Sometimes quest crashes on startup with a bedrock error and its something with no such color -1

2nd bug: When you click "Choose File" when you want to upload a file to your own site it crashes with this error "quest: 6436: bad argument: table expected, got nil"

3rd bug: If you have many websites in the manage tab and you scroll down the whole screen turns Dark Gray

But overall great program ;)/>

Kinda like Node-Webkit? That could work, I'll look in to that.

It shouldn't be doing that -1 error, can you provide more explanation? Was it running OneOS 1.2?

I'll take a look in that upload and scroll bug too, although some more information about your CC version and OS if you're using one would be good.

Yeah like Node-WebKit. And maybe you can create an API like


quest.openSide("http://someurl.com",true)
--Open the URL and true/false say if it should be full screen or not
quest.openString("The full side as String",true)
--open a string as a side.

That would be very awesome! :)/>/>
But quest is also awesome! Well done!

Looks awesome! A suggestion would be to have some form of DNS like system, where you can host a site on http://quest.net76.net/sites/ or whatever, that is special and basically creates a frame or redirect to a URL to another server, so URLs from free web app sites (heroku/google app engine) won't be as messy.

Here's an example for clarity:
I register a site: http://quest.net76.net/sites/my-chat/ (or http://my-chat.qst)
The contents would be something like:


REDIRECT: http://my-chat.appspot.com

So when I access http://my-chat.qst, in the background it accesses http://my-chat.appspot.com, but doesn't show that in the URL bar.
So requests like: http://my-chat.qst/d...stuff=morestuff will become http://my-chat.appsp...stuff=morestuff but the URL keeps its http://my-chat.qst form.

I was thinking about doing something like that early on. I couldn't think of a good way to do it, but that sounds like it'll work well.

My Suggestions:
1. Lua used as Javascript (I think that LuaScript will do this)
2. Bedrock API use (I think that is lQuery will do this)
3. Lua used as PHP (PHP is better than JS in somecases…)
4. Enter http://example.com try access: index.ccml, index.html, index.php, etc (So We can make a parallel website in ccml without needing to interfer in original website)
5. DTD-like for DOCTYPE (So we can make our self tags)
6. Rename DOCTYPE to other tag (Suggestion: <SUBDOCTYPE>), and make Quest Ignore it (So with a DOCTYPE and a Custom DTD for Quest Tags we can make browsers like Chrome can have some kind of accesibility to it.)

My Questions:
1. Quest works with PHP and other ServerSide Programs?
2. Quest is enabled to enter other sites like example.com?
3. (Maybe using DTDs) Is there a way to access to the CCML with Browsers?

Many of these have already been discussed, but maybe it was on the old topic.

1. That's already there, just basic.
2. Ditto
3. As I've belonged, there's coming.
4. That has worked since the very first prerelease
5. Don't really see the point, but I'll look in to it.
6. CCML pages still work on Chrome and other brothers.

1. Yes
2. Yes.
3. Yes, have you tried?

Sorry if I'm coming across as a bit rude, but the answers are already out there or easy to test

Just downloaded it for the first time and it gave me an error:

Bedrock:2178: The view: main.view does not exist.

Was because of my 'os'

Great program nicely done!

edit:
This file is crashing quest:

Filename: test.php


<!DOCTYPE ccml>
  <?php

  ?>

Error I get:
WebView (Bedrock API):19: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

There's no way that error is because of the file.Please fix it.

EDIT 2:
Tried your host without PHP instead to test around, gives an error when clicking the 'Choose file..' button.

I'll try again when there's a working version of this.

"There's no way that error is because of the file"

Lol wut, I don't know where you get that assumption from because it is… (considering every other site works fine)
Anywho, the problem is because you don't have a body set, and in the source code of quest it says:


--TODO: check that body exists, if not redirect to an error page

So it will soon have an error page some time in the future to remind you of this.

Also, what's the error with clicking on the 'Choose file…' button?

About the PHP error: I didn't check the source, my apologies.

Error I get when clicking the Choose file button: quest:6436: bad argument: table expected, got nil
Sorry if I sound like a bitch, I haven't slept this night. (Of course not you problem. but might mention it.)

Well yea… That file will error because it's blatantly invalid. It doesn't even have html tags. As 1lann said, I need to add a check, but it's fairly obvious I would've thought that at the very least it's not going run normally.

Tried your host without PHP instead to test around, gives an error when clicking the 'Choose file..' button.

I'll try again when there's a working version of this.

Lol wut, I don't know where you get that assumption from because it is… (considering every other site works fine)
Anywho, the problem is because you don't have a body set, and in the source code of quest it says:
--TODO: check that body exists, if not redirect to an error page
So it will soon have an error page some time in the future to remind you of this.

Also, what's the error with clicking on the 'Choose file…' button?
About the PHP error: I didn't check the source, my apologies.

Error I get when clicking the Choose file button: quest:6436: bad argument: table expected, got nil
Sorry if I sound like a bitch, I haven't slept this night. (Of course not you problem. but might mention it.)

What site are you using the choose file button on? Quest host? If so are you sure you're not using an OS?

Well yea… That file will error because it's blatantly invalid. It doesn't even have html tags. As 1lann said, I need to add a check, but it's fairly obvious I would've thought that at the very least it's not going run normally.

I'm not running a different other than CraftOS 1.6

EDIT2:
I installed OneOS on the computer and the button works fine.

Due to a bit of stupidity and not knowing the Ts and Cs of 000webhost my account has been suspended, and to unsuspend it I need to upgrade…..

Basically, I was trying to send an email to everyone in a database for a non-CC related thing and yea, apparently you can't send 120 emails in 3 seconds without someone getting annoyed.

Anyway, I've decided to just bite the bullet and pay for hosting (but with an completely different company). The plan I've got allows me to host as many sites as I want on the same sever, so I'll be moving everything across. This means Quest and the App Store will be moving across, which is good because it'll mean that it should work with everyone and if it doesn't I can whinge to the hosting company. For the App Store, while I do currently use a .com domain I'll move it to appstore.olivercooper.me just so I don't have to keep spending money on it really. I'll also be dropping the oeed.me domain which I've never really used. Quest will also move to quest.olivercooper.me.

So, this means that soon (basically once the DNS servers update) I'll post an update which uses the new domain. I'll also change the Hub home page to a message saying you need to update.

Well, I'd say you're sandboxing is incorrect. You could try extracting it (quest –extract) and then run that. I'm not sure why it wouldn't run normally, what CC version?

Actually, by the looks of it you're using CCEmuRedux. That might be the problem. Try in game.

Why not register a free domain name, like ccquest.cf?

http://www.freenom.com/ - you can register .cf, .ga, .gq, .ml, and .tk.

Whilst they're not ideal, they're generally better than subdomains.

I'll switch to quest.olivercooper.me when I find the time. It's just much easier to do that. You don't notice it in game anyway.

Why would it even need to register in the first place? This scares me a little. Can I just comment the registering out? I can't read the code, it's–and no offense– spaghetti

Majority of ISPs ban things due to illegal activity or security/safety reasons, apparently an ISP can get in trouble for having illegal content in their cables.

I just noticed an error when I tried this without whitelisting all sites, it errors saying the domain is not permitted. You probably want to fix that so it tells the user that they'll have to whitelist all sites or something. Anyway, when can we expect an update? Because right now no site can be loaded.

1 - I'm not sure why the CC computers need to be registering… It doesn't sound shady at all because if it was shady, why would it tell you it's registering?

2 - Disable registering by removing the program. If you cannot connect to the server, you cannot download any of the sites available. Meaning this is useless.

1. It acts as a cookie. Because cookies are impossible each computer has a unique ID instead which must be obtained from the sever.
2. You can't really. I've been having issues migrating the server and haven't been in the best state to do so (just had my wisdom teeth out).

They are sent in headers, which are inaccessible in the HTTP API. Yes, it's not super secure, although it's not too bad. It's not like you're doing online banking or anything though,

You can set, but as far as I'm aware, you can't receive headers which have the cookies info for setting. So the client can't really set the cookies.

Mmmm, Quest is fairly low on my todo list right now to be honest. I've got quite a few more important things that OneOS which is my main CC priority, so all my CC time is spent on that. Once that's done I'll get around to fixing the mess that this is.

Many people have problems connected to 000webhost. 000webhost filters/ban's many users, even ones who haven't used it.

I use at&t and you can connect to 000webhost.com but none of the websites that is hosted on it.

At&t members are blacklisted from 000webhost as you can see by googling this http://www.000webhost.com/forum/customer-assistance/35697-000webhost-blacklisted-t.html.

000webhost has hosted many illegal things from users which is one reason it may be blacklisted.

If you want your own real server get wamp from http://www.wampserver.com/en/
You have to portforward and change setting files to work with your port but anyone above their first year of highschool that isn't a complete idiot will probably understand it.
Also theres tutorials for older versions even though the layout changes like each update ^_^/>.

Right now quest will not connect to anything at all for me, the start of it is loading something and then it says like "could not load blah blah blah"

http://www.connectedisolation.com/2014/02/at-blocking-000webhost-hosted-sites.html

Your really letting a majority of the world down by using 000webhost.

Wamp is good but it shouldnt be used on a wifi with a lot of web traffic/people using it.

I have a request though, Maybe let users download the server files and then host there own on wamp or a hosting plan.
This would enable certain servers to have there own web.

Can't there be a setting in Quest to allow normal, HTML websites? There's got to be a way to handle jpeg/png/tiff/svg images…could you have Quest, if it comes across an image file, tell a specialized Quest server to convert it into a readable format, and then send it to Quest? It would take the load off of CC and onto a server with more power and an easier way to do it.

Well… not really. I'll give it a shot. Lots of stuff would be very problematic.

It turns out making a server-side language with Quest's WIFI server is pretty easy. Modifying your quest server so that the code is executed and the return value is sent back instead of code being sent back, you can easily make a lua script using this type of format.


local result = 2^8
return [[
<!DOCTYPE ccml>
<html>
<head>
<title>Quest Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>]] .. result .. [[</p>
</body>
</html>
]]

The [[ and ]] represent a multi-line string, so using Lua we can calculate 2^8 and send back a return value with proper CCML displaying the result value.
EDIT: For anyone curious, a 404 error will occur if nothing is returned ("nil" is the value given when trying to read out of a file that doesn't exist, and "nil" is returned when nothing is)

This is pretty cool! I'll now be making CCML pages for my server.
Idea - Webpages that allow you to control a redstone output/sense if there's a redstone input. Here's how I think it could work:

When server to control/sense redstone turns on, it loads a program that connects to the quest page and says 'Computer <ID> is online,'
When client connects, the browser checks for any servers (the server would use a special page) and it'd say 'I'm computer <ID> and my redstone outputs are <direction>:<t/f> and input on <directions>:<t/f>'
Regular webpage could then display a button, for example, 'Turn on reactor' and when clicked it sends off a request to an API which is connected to the server to tell it to send redstone.

Another Idea - Krist Support:
Allow a 'Pay by Krist' button which you could work with cossack to add an argument to kristwallet (example 'kristwallet <address> <amount> Quest') and it'll load up the wallet, you see a 'you will be sending x amount to address y, login to pay' then you login and it says 'You have <x> amount of krist, do you want to pay?'
OR Just use the API - ask for password, get address, balance and secret key, tell the user they will be paying x address y krist, do you want to continue?' and then if yes it sends the krist.

The magic of LuaScript. Well, and an exploit that could be used to download malicious software, but that's okay, right?


<!DOCTYPE ccml>
<html>
<head>
<title>Redstone Test</title>
<script type="lua">
  _G.rs.setOutput("right", true)
  l('p').text('Done!')
</head>
<body>
  <p width="5"></p>
</body>
</html>

You could also replace the "_G" with "getfenv(read)" if you wanted to.

Uploading files with Quest is pretty much broken.
Quest Host is pretty much obsolete in that sense if you think about it.

Hello. I have a problem with uploading files.

But, it doesn't crash the program, the host.qst site says "Upload failed" every single time.
Quest opens up the "Open File" prompt, so I select my "index.ccml" file. It fails.

Yeah, Quest is pretty broken to be honest.

We'll make a web browser with Silica which will probably be able to support atleast basic CSS and more standard HTML features. That'll be a while away yet, so don't get your hopes up for any improvements within a few months.

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…

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.

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>

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.
