Description

Web packages are a new packaging format for apps or web resources in general. The packaging format is based on the W3C spec with the exception that resources are uniquely identified by a URL composed of the package URL, the !// separator, followed by the path to the resource inside the package. 

 Example: http://example.org/path/to/package.pak!//path/to/resource.html

Implementation

The bulk of the implementation is located in 

 netwerk/protocol/http/PackagedAppService.cpp
 netwerk/protocol/http/PackagedAppVerifier.cpp
 netwerk/protocol/http/PackagedAppUtils.js
