536394 - Collect improvements to plugin version detection code

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Websites :: plugins.mozilla.org, enhancement)

Description

[Les Orchard [:lorchard]]

There are some plugins whose versions cannot yet be detected by Perfidies and the plugin directory.  This bug is a collector for reports of plugins with failed version detection and potential ideas for addressing those failures.

For reference, the Perfidies plugin detection code may be found here:
http://github.com/ozten/Perfidies-of-the-Web

And, the Plugin Directory itself can be found in either of these places:
http://github.com/lmorchard/plugindir
https://svn.mozilla.org/projects/plugindir/trunk/

The Lala Download plugin has an incorrectly formatted version string of "2 . 0 . 0".  The parseVersion function could be extended to ignore whitespace but that could cause other problems.
