430730 - Add support for querying whether content would be blocked by parental controls services

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Jim Mathies [:jimm]]

Currently the parental controls interface does not support querying whether or not a particular uri would be blocked. We are reactionary in the dm (picking up status 405 blocked results) rather than checking first to see if the content would be blocked. In the future users of this interface are going to want to query first similar to the way we handle file blocking in the dm. This might also come in useful in handling inline browser / email content. Again, here, we rely on proxies to return content replacements - it would be better if we standardize on a native content blocked icon, image, message or what not when users view mixed content.

Looks like we'll have to wait for the next rev of the interfaces in Vista. Querying if a URI would be blocked isn't currently supported. Until then we'll have to rely on the 450 status codes.
