necko_about.dll
necko_file.dll
necko_ftp.dll
necko_http.dll
necko_resource.dll

these files names needs to be 8.3 for win9x --  see bug 10355
Blocks: 10355
Target Milestone: M10
10355 is m10 so marking this M10
I was thinking of just renaming things "net*.dll".
We talked about packaging issues in our meeting today too. People have been
complaining that necko has 13 or more dlls! Here's what we decided to do:

Group the following into a single netcore.dll:

necko.dll
mimetype.dll
cache.dll
streamconv.dll
Keep the following separate:
nethttp.dll (was necko_http.dll)
netftp.dll (was necko_ftp.dll)
Group the following protocols into one (name please?):
necko_file.dll
necko_about.dll
necko_resource.dll
necko_data.dll
necko_jar.dll (doesn't exist yet)
Try to eliminate the need for chrome: dlls, perhaps coming up with a
substitution dll, or some redesign of resource:.
There were a few more dlls to roll into the above, but I'm forgetting off the
top of my head. Jump in here guys...

To resolve the naming thing how about changing necko => nc or nk so
necko_ftp.dll becomes nc_ftp.dll and so on.
Assignee: gagan → warren
this will happen as we clean up the dlls and repackage them into a lesser
number.
