There is a problem with Mozilla architecture and adobe asv3.1 plugin architecture that is preventing mozcc accessing the RDF creative commons licence. This would appear rather strange, as this is all text, and presumably available to mozilla irrespective of the adobe plugin, eg <view source> displays correctly. I realise that this is a tricky issue, and believe it needs urgent attention. Mozcc represents an extremely good use of RDF. Furthermore SVG, CC, and Mozilla are all dedicated to open source in their different ways. firefox0.9.1 rocks please get this done! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install adobe asv 3.1 2.install mozcc 3.visit http://www.peepo.co.uk/launch/index.svg Actual Results: mozcc claims no RDF creative commons licence information is available Expected Results: graphical icon indicating Public Domain further and full information when clicking on the CC icon
Does it happen if some other plug-in is responsible for rendering? I am not sure how mozcc works, but I think that Mozilla implicitly creates an HTML "thunk" to pull-in plug-in data which looks like this: <html> <body> <object data="..."/> </body> </html> Maybe mozcc mistakenly tries to get licence out of that thing.
Yes, that is what mozCC does. For HTML documents it uses document.documentElement.innerHTML to get the document contents and then parse them for in-comment RDF, etc. It seems that the Adobe SVG plugin doesn't actually expose the DOM tree in a similar fashion. Of course, I'm open to suggestions on other (better) ways to extract the document source, or ways to access the Adobe SVG DOM that I haven't tried yet.
You won't be able to access Adobe SVG DOM since it not (and could not) be exposed to Mozilla. This problem might be fixed in the future versions of Mozilla and SVG plugin - but that's long term. Meanwhile you could detect an HTML stub, load the source of the object and parse it using regular Mozilla XML parser. This would work with all XML formats and all plug-ins.
This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

this would require some effort by the plugin vendor, and as the plugin is defunct, this bug is effectively wontfix.
