GNU Emacs seems to be inconsistent when showing images fetched via
http(s). Here is an example:
M-x eww
Paste in a URL of a webpage with many pictures, eg
https://moving-pictures.ingebrigtsen.no/2019/10/01/songs-from-the-second-floor-2/
Expected result is all images (eventually) load. Instead I see gray
boxes where the images should appear. This even after waiting 10
minutes. In Firefox I can get all images in seconds.
Here is what my Emacs window looks like:
[-- Attachment #2: emacs.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 63157 bytes --]
[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 3881 bytes --]
It seems that the fewer images there are, the more likely they are to
appear. But it is very inconsistent, in my experience.
I don't expect Emacs to be optimized to fetch a lot of images
efficiently in the way, say, a dedicated web browser might be, but not
showing all images eventually, is suboptimimal.

shr (via url-queue) uses a very primitive timeout mechanism for
image-loading, and it aborts a lot of downloads prematurely. And as you
say, the more images it's downloading in parallel, the more likely it is
that it drops the image.
This will work a lot better once the with-fetched-url branch has been
merged into Emacs, but that won't happen until Emacs 28, which is
probably still weeks away.

Nice! I just merged the branch locally, and I am trying it out (after
resolving merge conflict semi-randomly).
It seems to work a lot better - there are still a couple of images
missing on long pages, but it's far from the around half I had before.
Thanks!

Great; thanks for testing.
I've now merged this bug with bug#22921, which is the bug report about
the new URL interface.

The current interfaces to the URL library aren't very handy. It's
`url-retrieve' and `url-retrieve-synchronously'. The main problem is
that they're inconsistent and difficult to interact with.
For instance, most of the "inputs" to the functions are dynamically
bound specially variables like `url-request-method', and that sucks.
The buffers that are returned are inconsistent based on the URL
method -- HTTP buffers come with the headers first, while ftp buffers do
not.
So: `with-url-buffer'.
Typical usage would be
(with-url-buffer ("https://fsf.org"
:verbose t
:request-method "POST"
:timeout 10)
(do-stuff-with-the-result-here))
That is, the callback is in the form. There are no headers in the
buffer, and point is at point-min when the body is called. Headers are
accessed with a new form like `(url-header "date")', and the headers are
available in a buffer-local variable called `url-headers'.
Upon completion of the body form, the buffer is killed, unless a
parameter :inhibit-kill-buffer is given.
Synchronous and asynchronous operation looks identical, but synchronous
operation happens when you say :synchronous t.
Implementation-wise, this happens with lexical bindings switched on, and
the body form is turned into a closure that's evaluated upon completion.
`with-url-buffer' will not support the exotic, never-actually-used
protocols like news:, irc:, imap:, etc, but only http:, https:, ftp:
and file:.

What's the current status of your with-fetched-url branch? Is it
ready to merge into master? It would be nice to get it in so that we
can start playing around with it.

It should be (more or less) ready to go. I've been meaning to merge it
ever since Emacs 28 started, but I haven't found time yet.
If I remember, there may be some quirks with certain auth schemes that
needs fixing, but that can be done after the merge. But I need to block
out, say, a week where I can respond to bug reports in a speedy manner,
and I haven't found that week yet...
But it'll happen sometime within a month or to.

Hmm, maybe we can have it in Emacs 29? :-)
