72413 - permit remote HTTP/FTP URLS for bookmarks datasources

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Zach Brown]

it'd be super sweet if mozilla knew how to fetch/update bookmarks from the
mothership, so that I can stop creating islands of bookmarks.

Not so fast, bucko.  We're not talking about putting the whole bookmarks file on
the remote system -- that would be pretty limiting, and people sometimes _do_
want different 'marks on different systems -- but rather using the power of RDF
merging to let me have a branch of my bookmarks on another machine.

Ass-u-ming that storing to HTTP and FTP URLs works OK, this isn't going to be
too hard.

Ah.  I had misunderstood the original request.  :)

Would this be the same as, or related to, Bug #18043?

Comment 5

[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

Sorry, Zach and others, this is post-1.0 unless inspiration strikes very suddenly.

Comment 6

[Chris Lee]

Would it be possible to use an Iframe in the bookmarks.html so that various 'sub
folders' in the bookmarks can be refering to bookmark.html files on other servers.

retargeting

I say you can do this with livemarks now.

If you insist.  The reporter doesn't use Seamonkey, but I'm just trying to
usefully clean up my bug list.  Sorry if I offended.

Yes, please don't leave this bug open on my account, if that's what's happening.
 I'm more than happy to work with the livemarks functionality.

ok, marking worksforme then. please do not mark bugs fixed that aren't, in the
product in which they were reported.
