Yes, WebKit was based on KHTML and KJS. Even in the beginning, we made a few fundamental changes. Some of those were folded back in, but eventually those differences grew much, much larger.
There actually were some sites (in Europe, as I recall) that behaved a bit better when "KHTML" was in the user agent string.
I also included it as a nod to the original project. I wanted to show respect for the fine work of Lars Knoll and the other contributors.
- lelandbatey 14y agoThat's quite the story, and it's great that you'd keep a reference to a products origins (even if you didn't have to). On a side note, is it still true that Apple has an entire /8 block of IP addresses? I know that a variety of companies where given them, but I was under the impression that large portions of most had been bought back/given back for use elsewhere?
- bdash 14y agoApple still owns and uses the entirety of 17.0.0.0/8.
- donmelton 14y agoI don't know whether the Apple IP addresses were reallocated. I do know that Stanford returned most of its Class A allocation.
- dsl 14y agoApple still has it. You can see the official allocations here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.txt http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-addr... The only people to return /8's have been Stanford, the DoD, and a few defense contractors (BBN and Boeing).
- rjzzleep 14y agowell yeah, because you guys were sending huge blobs of text back instead of proper formatted patches. didn't make you the most welcome forkers out there.
