129321 - TestGtkEmbedNotebook.cpp: can't submit forms [FIX]

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

[Vlad Harchev]

There are no specs/docs on how to support submitting forms on pages
rendered with gtkembedmoz. All samples for gtkembedmoz in CVS ALSO
DON'T support form submission at all.

I'm sorry, form submission in CVS examples works fine.. I hacked them
to severely in my on-disk snapshot. But documentation won't hurt..
I can't manage to submit form in mozillas created using Gtk::MozEmbed
bindings for perl - submission is not initiated.

Hmm, at last I found that vanilla TestGtkEmbedNotebook.cpp can't
handle form submissions. So it would be nice to fix it too since
the another sample of GtkMozEmbed use is that big.
 Or could you explain how to modify TestGtkEmbedNotebook.cpp so that
it would be able to submit forms?

Comment 3

[Vlad Harchev]

OK, I found it - in order to make TestGtkEmbedNotebook.cpp able to
submit forms, one has to call moz_pref_set_boolean("security.warn_submit_insecure",0);
before creating it mozembed widget (with corresponding implementation
of moz_pref_set_boolean() - copying it from galeon/skipstone will
be enough).
 Renamed the ticket.

Vlad, is this still a problem that requires a fix in Mozilla?

Comment 5

[Vlad Harchev]

Frankly, I don't know for sure whether it's still impossible to submit
forms with recent Mozillas (more recent than 0.9.6).
 But I doubt that anything has changed - if default value for preference
"security.warn_submit_insecure" is still the same (that's most likely since
oposite default is a wrong from security POV), it should still be
impossible to submit forms..

Embedding: GTK Widget isn't a thing, closing.
