367519 - Add XUL MIME Type support to Mozilla Control

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: ActiveX Wrapper, defect)

Description

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

When Internet Explorer is trying to handle a resource of type "application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml", the Mozilla ActiveX control should be used to display the resource.

Similar to the way Adobe Reader is used to view PDF resources.

Attachment: adds XUL MIME viewer support to control

This patch does 3 things:
1. Adds support for making the activex control a XUL MIME viewer by adding propertybag support, a "src" property needed for IE to pass URL, and required registry entries.
2. Enables "safe for init" and "safe for scripting" so the control is usable without a large amount of manual user tweaking.
3. Changes some old ATL macros to newer versions (only in files I edited anyway)

Mark, are you going to request review for this patch?

Attachment: updated patch to add xul and svg mime type support to activex control

This patch is the same as the previous one, with the addition of SVG mime type (image/svg+xml) handling. With this patch and the ActiveX control registered, Internet Explorer will open XUL and SVG resources in fullpage mode (if navigated to directly) or embedded into an HTML page using <object> tag.

I don't think you meant to leave NS_BREAK() in this patch ;-)
