409876 - Extending gtkmozembed API (gtkmozembed_common) widget

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

[Antonio Gomes (tonikitoo)]

gtkmozembed_common widget was ideally designed (by the microb team) to expand default gtkmozembed widget api in actions that are applied to all browser instances, e.g. "deleting all cookies" or "setting a specific preference value".

the idea here is clean up the current implementation available (http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/embedding/browser/gtk/src/gtkmozembed_common.h) , and discuss what methods would be generally useful for embedders and relevant to compose this API. 

I'll propose a initial api soon ...

ps: maybe blocker of bug 408238 ?

Attachment: new api for gtkmozembed_common (header file)

attached file is a cleaned up version of the current gtkmozembed_common.h . It takes off some stuff (data structures and methods) that I believe are not generally used by simple embedders or does not fit well to the API original propose. like GtkMozEmbedSecurityMode, GtkMozEmbedImagePolicy, GtkMozPlugin.

Btw, the idea for those data structure that still remain (e.g. GtkMozHistoryItem, GtkMozLogin ...) is providing all data necessary to be proper handled by the embedder.

Thoughts ?
