313957 - with embed and a plugin, if the src= url is not valid, this is never communicated to the plugin

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[No one public]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7

It looks like the 
nsPluginStreamListenerPeer::OnStartRequest bails out early if the request is bad

when nsPluginStreamListenerPeer::OnStopRequest is called

  mPStreamListener = 0 and this bails out and no notification is done
  if(!mPStreamListener)
      return NS_ERROR_FAILURE;


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
set up an embed that will call mplayerplug-in
with a bogus but well formed url for the src=URL field
Note that there is no error indication and NewStream/DestroyStream are never called in the plugin



When the src=URL is valid, NewStream is called on the plugin

Firefox 1.0.7 is obsolete. Does this still happen with a current build (which version?) of Firefox or SeaMonkey?

I cannot think how we would do this differently given the current NPAPI, so I'm going to WONTFIX this.
