812089 - Component.results does not list nsresults deried from NSPR/NSS PRErrorCodes

Status: REOPENED

(Core :: XPConnect, enhancement)

Description

[Brian Smith (:briansmith, :bsmith, use NEEDINFO?)]

PSM maps SEC_* and SSL_* PRErrorCodes to nsresults using a mathematical formula NS_ERROR_GENERATE(FAILURE, NS_ERROR_MODULE_SECURITY, -x) where x is the PRErrorCode.

We should expose all of these error codes through Component.results so that JS-based modules (e.g. toolkit/identity/*.js) and JS-based tests can refer to them using their symbolic names. I suggest we expose them as NS_ERROR_<name> where <name> is the PRErrorCode name (e.g. NS_ERROR_SEC_ERROR_UNTRUSTED_ISSUER, for SEC_ERROR_UNTRUSTED_ISSUER).
