1279407 - Remove wsock32 and mswsock from OS_LIBS

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

wsock32.dll is compatibility layer for old Windows that is WinSock 1.x.   Windows 2000 or later supports WinSock 2.x (ws2_32.dll).

So wsock32.dll is unnecessary.  And mswsock is unused.   (It will be loaded by ws2_32.dll)

Humm, UDP such as dom/network/tests/test_udpsocket.html doesn't seem to work correctly...  I am investigating.

Did you replace all <winsock.h> includes with <winsock2.h>? Both headers have incompatible IPPROTO_IP definitions.

Oh, Thanks, emk-san.  We should update nspr too.

Maybe we should guarantee Firefox and NSPR use the consistent winsock version somehow.
