Details

Right now, we use a ManifestObtainer.jsm to emulate what HTMLLinkElement does... that's not great, because it means that ManifestObtainer.jsm doesn't benefit from all the attributes/features of link relationships.

Ideally, we should get rid of ManifestObtainer.jsm and pump everything through HTMLLinkElement (letting it do all the even handling, checking integrity, CORS etc), then pass the Response to ManifestProcessor.jsm somehow to process the JSON.

Severity: -- → S3
