[news.eclipse.platform.swt] JOB: SWT / COM development

[Chris Merrill <nospam-st.eclgroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Contract job (offsite) - 6-8 weeks.  Could become permanent position.

Project Goals
The goal of this project is to enhance the Java/native Eclipse SWT browser widget to provide more 
control over the IE behavior. This includes:
- query/edit the proxy settings
- intercept HTTP/HTTPS network requests at the API level
- query/edit the HTTP version settings
- query/edit browser cache settings
- cause the browser to issue POST requests with supplied content and content type
- suppress dialogs displayed by the browser

This is not a complete list – We have a complete project specification and test harness
available on request.

Skills required
This project will require a high level of experience with Java/JNI, SWT and the COM/OLE Windows 
APIs. Familiarity with the SWT COM wrappers (internal classes) would be beneficial. A strong 
understanding of basic networking concepts, specifically HTTP and proxy configuration, is required.
