515861 - Need mechanism for attempting to resend crash report

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

I just had a breakpad submission fail with this console spam:

Breakpad Reporter: Send Error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1005 UserInfo=0x1afa80 "lost network connection"

I now have an ERR.dmp for this crash in my ~/Library/Breakpad (it seems like it's missing my comment, too) and no way to report my second -[NSApplication sendEvent:] crash in as many days :(

In my case I have the OS crash log to know what it was, but it's conceivable that there will be cases where we'll want the info in the dump, including cases where Socorro has decided not to accept the report right away (I can't find the bug on this now).

Core did this in bug 378528 with basically a bunch of extra js hanging off of about:crashes.  It's possible we could hack up a solution based on that (less the comments, urls, etc., which don't get stored in the dump, and with some fun based on Breakpad's desire to rename failed submissions "ERR.dmp").

Ideally this would be something that would be built into the framework in the future, though :P
