-> fixed

If I missed one please reopen.  

Also, try to spread this over multiple bugs when you have this many issues--even
if they're related.

[Daniel Wang]

doesn't work for me. don't know why.

and the "New Security Model" should link to
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/extensions/webservices/docs/New_Security_Model.html
instead of Bugzilla.

Copying Marcio for input.

I wonder if our Web Services ( SOAP ) story still works as the same. Here is a sample I know was working before ( http://www.mgalli.com/wsdom/  which requires signed.applets.codebase_principal_support = true ). It says: 

"WebServiceProxyFactory is not defined". 

If this is correct, all the samples are probably broken.

Would be nice to get an input from JST or John Resig about these old documents. I believe there is some work at the standard level, which provides a solution for cross domain access of resources, and maybe that entire solution repalced the above "new security model " document.

Comment 6

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

Firefox doesn't support SOAP anymore...

Comment 7

[David Boswell]

Instead of fixing this page, why don't we redirect it to somewhere on MDC.  How about

http://developer.mozilla.org/En/XML_Web_Services

If there's a better page, let me know.

Comment 8

[David Boswell]

OK, I set up this redirect to MDC.  If this isn't the right place to be pointing to, feel free to reopen.
