1024098 - Add some helpers for principal verification with PBackground

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Content Processes, defect)

Description

[Ben Turner (not reading bugmail, use the needinfo flag!)]

We need to verify principals in PBackground protocols. Unfortunately principals and URIs are not threadsafe so we have to do extra work. Patch in a bit.

A random thought I had: does this need to deal with document.domain? If it does, do we have to broadcast document.domain changes between parent and children (or vice versa)?

Sorry, I accidentally hit enter while filling out the reviewer. I'd like to be able to do structured clone of nsIPrincipal and Blake pointed me to this bug. I factored out Ben's code into something that we can use for both. Hope this is okay Ben.
