775890 - Detect non-200 responses for resources in manifests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Validation, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Christopher Van Wiemeersch [:cvan]]

We could probably start flagging or rejecting apps whose manifests contain invalid paths/URLs.

Fields that should probably absolutely be valid paths:
- launch_path (which defaults to origin)
- icons.128 (whose path defaults to origin but could point somewhere external)
- appcache_path (if specified)

If specified, these should also be valid paths (but probably don't matter too much):
- icons.*.url
- developer.url
- locales.*.developer.url

In addition to checking the path is valid we should make sure useful content is there if it doesn't take too long.  I'm duping that bug to this one.

In response to comment #1:
We do enforce a standard HTTP timeout. If this is too long, it can be reduced going forward.
