294105 - Support Safari web archive format.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Graeme Porteous]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050513 Camino/0.8+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050513 Camino/0.8+

In Safari 2.0 it's possible to save a web page in a webarchive format, I believe
Camino should be able to load (and save?) this format.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




The format is quite straight forward, even tho Safari uses .webarchive file
extension the files are actually a binary xml files. All html, css, images,
flash, javascript, etc. are embedded into one file.

See also these Camino and Core bugs for implementing interoperability with
various web archive formats: bug 183114, bug 64286, bug 18764, bug 40873, bug
169359.

Compatability with Safari's format would be good for Camino, though.

Is the Safari webarchive format the same as the format(s) mentioned in that bug? Safari wasn't even around at that point...

This was mentioned randomly in bug 332912 comment 3 (not sure how reading/writing Safari web archives is related to Cocoa clipboard impl)....

Comment 6

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

FWIW, my plan for the clipboard was to use the WebKit API for accessing the archive format. I'm hoping to get the clipboard code done on Monday. The code won't be useful for saving Web pages.

Comment 7

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

Oh and the relevance to the clipboard is that WebKit uses its Web archive format as a clipboard flavor.

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
