1578055 - [XdndDirectSave] nsDragService still uses "host" from nsSystemInfo

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P5)

Description

[Jan Beich]

host property was removed in bug 1361601 on 2017-05-03 but nsDragService started to use it after bug 396370 (from v1) on 2018-10-04. Maybe drop or convert to PR_SI_HOSTNAME.

This affects XdndDirectSave which is no longer used (at least I can't find any application which uses it).
Let's close it and reopen if we hit any real-life scenario.

Have you tested Nemo? Drag and drop of images still works for me with version 5.0.5.

Yes, I tested Nemo, seems to use text/x-moz-url.

I just tested disabling the XdndDirectSave0 code in nsDragService and afterwards dragging an image to the Desktop produces a link instead of an image file. So it's working.
