DocShell/Window targeting: Difference between revisions
→Proposed Changes

I want to change step 8 to do the following instead: If no docshell with the given name is found, get a "window provider" or something service and ask it for a new rendering area (nsIDOMWindow, probably, or nsIWebNavigation). Pass in the initial target docshell (or its DOMWindow?) to this service, so that it can create new tabs, eg, in the right places (in the same window). The service implementation would live in the embedding app (in toolkit or xpfe in Firefox/Seamonkey, for example) and would be free to return whatever window/webnavigation it wants. If it returns nothing, we'd fall back to opening a new window via the window watcher as we do now. | I want to change step 8 to do the following instead: If no docshell with the given name is found, get a "window provider" or something service and ask it for a new rendering area (nsIDOMWindow, probably, or nsIWebNavigation).

In this setup, the webnavigation impl returned could do IPC or whatever it needs as necessary. I don't see a reasonable way of doing POST across IPC short of defining our own IPC setup for it, so it would probably just throw on POST attempts. | |||
We need to do something to fix steps 5 and 7. | We need to do something to fix steps 5 and 7. | ||
