[Plugin-2] Browser Plugins

Volker

Because Ingo set up firefox and firefox has its own proxy-settings 
and rest of windows knows nothing about?
but maybe we don't need to solve it that way, simply suggesting in 
docs, that users should set their proxy in control panel, that would 
be the easier way ....

yes ... and I pointed out where the problem is .... get-net-info 
.... let's revisit the function, it can be cured for 98% of cases 
.... I am just not able to fix it myself alone ...

I guess we got "upset" here

Yes that's what I was talking about ...

Volker - yes, becase I could also see typical attitude - first Josh 
stating we should contact Carl, as get-net-info is rebol part. Then 
he said they are looking at it .... and later on that we could actually 
submit such code .... then I prefer at least RT fixing incorrect 
IE (control panel) setting (they refer to incorrect registry path 
imo), because - I can then use control panel setting to get it working, 
and not instlling user.r somewhere at rudiculous cache directory 
...
I prefer RT fixing get-net-info properly though :-)
btw - could some guru help get scan-netscape-prefs etc. functions 
sources? Those functions can be found in get-net-info, but are not 
exposed to global context ... dunno how to get to them :-)

Josh ... please change your colour to red or something else prominent! 
 Thanks.  And I'll try and figure out why I get an illegal operation 
in FF and not IE.

Josh M:  my problems may be with the interface between the chair 
and the keyboard... I tried using the existing demo pages not even 
considering the new tags required for the html pages.  I will double 
check everything when I get a chance.  Sorry for possibly causing 
extra work on your part to trouble shoot.

Cross-platform: I encourage you to talk to Carl about your cross-platform 
thoughts. That's his area.
I'm going out of town for a few days, but I will go through your 
feedback when I return....in the meantime, please private msg me 
if I have ignored your question or problem with the latest plugin 
release.

problem under IE) :

This bug is already reported .. relative paths not supported yet 
under FF.

Nothing to be sorry about...it is all about getting feedback, everyone 
here that reports a bug to the rest of u saves us time, and makes 
the product better.

Anyone else having issues with the pg-2 in Win 2000? All I ever get 
is a black bar that looks like a thick cursor ("I" Bar).
In FF, that is. And a blank box (outline of layout container) in 
IE.

Question: If the plugin is running, is it than possible to establish 
from there something like a BEER session without having the firewall 
/proxy problems? IIRC the proxies grant direct TCP/IP access after 
a browser once passed.
Pekr

James - yes, problems under W2K, both IE and Mozilla Suite. Two machines, 
one behind the proxy, second not. Exactly the same here - the black 
bar ....

Pekr, Ah, I'm not too crazy then. : )  Thanks.

Hi James, Pekr,


the html code is different for IE vs Mozilla plugins. I'm not sure 
wether the web-pages have already been updated accordingly. (Well, 
actually I'm rather sure they haven't ;-)

FYI: I have been reassigned to work on upcoming Win32 features for 
REBOL 3.0. Your feature requests, bug reports, and general feedback 
is still very important to us, but we won't be releasing a new version 
of the plugin for a while.
We didn't forget all the changes and new features we talked about 
[i.e. security, trusted scripts, etc.], but we're putting those on 
hold while we focus on REBOL 3.0 features.
Pekr
27-Jun-2006
[1416x2]
what do win32 features for REBOL 3.0 mean? Anything specific? Rebol 
is meant being cross-platform, although many would like to see things 
like better systray, com interface etc. :-)
I wonder if it means that plug-in is nearly dead - how long will 
the hold take? Maybe few last-minute fixes for mozz/ff/IE would help? 
It does not work in W2K :-)
JoshM

I'm not sure what I'm cleared to discuss.....we're working on improving 
REBOL's Win32 experience.
The IE plugin doesn't work in Win32?
Win2k?
Pekr

experience

? Does it mean platform specific things, like integration with OS? 
The same goes for MAC? I think "experience", under Windows, is rather 
good ... but - good luck to your new venture - we are all looking 
towards R3 :-)
Yeah, at work, proxy or not, W2K - no go ...
JoshM
27-Jun-2006
[1423x2]
Hmm. I'll look into that, but we won't have any fixes for a while. 
Sorry.
(Carl is out of the office and we can't release without him)

ok

I don't want to fragment this group, but one project I am working 
on now is the Console....so if you have any ideas for console improvements 
in R3.0 please let me know in private chat.
(Win32 Console to clarify)

how about a group for that? there are a few things I'd like to see.
Graham

Wish things that were started could be finished ...
Pekr
27-Jun-2006
[1430]
but if there is many things started? :-)
Graham

this jumping around from one plan to another is very unsettling ...
we make plans based upon RT's announcements ...
Pekr
27-Jun-2006
[1433]
Well, as for plug-in, it is a pity, as last release has few things 
broken, fixing which would allow others to proceed ...
Graham
27-Jun-2006
[1434]
How can anyone plan anything ??
Pekr
27-Jun-2006
[1435]
According to the blog, now is the time Carl is supposed to be in 
France for several weeks? We will have to wait anyway ....

It destroys the inertia that was here .. people lose interest.
Henrik

there are too few people working on the various parts
but it would be logical to finish R3 first and then focus on the 
other things afterwards. what's the use of the plugin if it needs 
to be reimplemented for R3?
Graham
27-Jun-2006
[1439x3]
because R3 is distant future
and plugin is now...
