Hi Andy,
I’ll take a look at OpenInfoCard
soon. For CardSpace, we already have a connector that works with FF through
HSS. I think we should be able to make it work directly with FF too.
Thanks,
Jeesmon

Subject: Re: [higgins-dev] Firefox Extension for external selectors
Very cool. If we add
support for Axel's selector (OpenInfoCard) and CardSpace, we will have coverage
for all of the major selectors. Thanks for your work on this Jeesmon.
BTW, I plan on starting work on a Safari add-on soon. Is anyone
else working on supporting Safari? If so, we should collaborate.

Hi Mike/Tie Li,
I checked in a Firefox extension that can launch external selectors directly or
using Higgins Selector Selector. It is based on Novell’s firefox addon for
client based selector and it has the support to directly launch Higgins
selectors (Client Based Selector, RCP Selector and AIR Selector). You can find
more information on this extension at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Higgins_Browser_Extension_for_Firefox and
installation steps at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Higgins_Browser_Extension_for_Firefox_Installation
I use nsISocketTransportService
(http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Proxies_in_Necko#SOCKS_and_nsISocketTransportService)
to connect to RCP Selector from the browser. But I couldn't find a way to
inform the socket server that there is no more data to send like you did in IE
by calling shutdown with how = SD_SEND. So the while(true) loop in RCP Selector
waits forever. I tried flushing and closing outputstream but socket server is
not recognizing it as EOF. I cannot close the connection as the browser needs
to wait for the token from RCP Selector. Until we figure out a solution (not
sure whether we will), would it be possible for RCP Selector to break the
while(true) loop if the input is terminated with the null char (\0)? I remember
seeing \0 as the input terminator char in other socket implementations. Since
\0 is not a legal char for the XML input that RCP Selector is getting, I don't
think it will break anything else.
In line # 80 of
org.eclipse.higgins.crpps/src/org/eclipse/higgins/crpps/service/RPPSService2.java
(parseInput method)
change
while (true) {
int
ch = in.read();
if
(ch == -1)
break;
// end-of-stream, assumes that sender closes sock @ end
//
of message. which is not a must in HTTP....
.....
}
to
while (true) {
int
ch = in.read();
if
(ch == -1 || ch == '\0') // <------ break on null char
also
break;
// end-of-stream, assumes that sender closes sock @ end
//
of message. which is not a must in HTTP....
.....
}
I tested RCP Selector with this change and I was able to successfully use it
from FF. Please let me know if this change can be committed so that we can use
RCP selector for more platforms and browsers. I assume there is no FF extension
is created for RCP Selector so far.
Thanks a lot for your input on this.
Regards,
Jeesmon
