(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Adrian Buckley]

Draging a Link or Linked Image onto a Gozilla or Net Vampire "drop basket" for
downloading is not possible (Gozilla) or returns "Invalid URL" (Net Vampire).

I can confirm this bug with getright.
Getright fails with DND from Mozilla (Object isn´t a URL).
I leave this unconfirmed because I don´t know if this is a dupe.
(searched at bugzilla but no bug found)

Mozilla supplies the UniformResourceLocator clipboard format in unicode format 
instead of ANSI format.

Comment 13

[Blake Ross]

pink, I think this has to do with our dnd in general; that's why I gave it to
you.  and GetRight/Gozilla are windows.  Did you see that link about unicode
being the 'wrong way' to store the url?  (but that seems right to me)

Comment 14

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

Windows.  Back to pinkerton.

Comment 15

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

ok, what we should be using is the new CFSTR_INETURL format:

"This format identifier replaces CFSTR_SHELLURL . If you want your application
to manipulate clipboard URLs, use CFSTR_INETURL instead of CFSTR_SHELLURL. This
format gives the best clipboard representation of a single URL. If UNICODE is
not defined, the application retrieves the CF_TEXT/CFSTR_SHELLURL version of the
URL. If UNICODE is defined, the application retrieves the CF_UNICODE version of
the URL."

anybody understand this mumbo jumbo? so do we advertise unicode or not?

Comment 16

[Adrian Buckley]

This is my first serious look at drag-and-drop, so what follows may be complete 
rubbish ;-)

As I understand it UniformResourceLocator is for ANSI text, whilst 
UniformResourceLocatorW is for Unicode text.
Mozilla is placing Unicode text in UniformResourceLocator instead of 
UniformResourceLocatorW.

I assume Mozilla can advertise Unicode using UniformResourceLocatorW, as long 
as ANSI is also advertised using UniformResourceLocator.
