[Plugin-2] Browser Plugins

Brian. Mashups (as I'm referring to) is the common term for webapps 
that utilise numerous webservices and combined in the browsers. But 
I hope you can come up with a security method that allows us to utilise 
advertising, google adwords-api, flickr, amazon-api, numerous maps, 
calendars. etc ; without having to combine on a single server before 
it goes out to the clients rebol plugin. I can do all this now in 
a browser, but I won't be able to with a rebol-plugin?

How would you check for a mashup?
Instead of somebody making your machine a proxy?

security vs useful ... I know it's a tough call. Just pointing out 
how some of the multi-services from different domains is so common 
now. (just disable 3rd party cookies in your browser to see how many 
warning message you get)

Btw does that mean a page from the web can access my local test-webserver?
there is a lot of usefull without mashup.
And there is mashup with signed scripts.

simple question. Will a plugin be allowed to read data [get, post, 
or soap] from a website other than the one that the script came from?

Uhm, and there is do-browser?
I hope it will not. Or i must firewall my testserver..
against my development box where i browse too..
Allen

Well if I can still do-browser, then I'm not understanding what the 
domain sandbox will do.

Thats what i am thinking at the moment too..
Allen

so obviously I'm arguing for something I will still be able to do. 
so I'm fine

But more in the "can i restrict that"-direction. Does do-browser 
respect blocked javascript?
Allen

read-via-browser might be a better method, seemless do the javascript 
http object without having to expose the javascript required to the 
rebol user, but will it will then pickup the browser security settings 
on such things
Volker

Maybe a good compromise. Full speed rebol-network restricted or signed, 
and more relaxed thru javascript, where the user knows allready how 
to deal withit (more or less)

yep. Brian is that what you're thinking?

How do you add rebol.com to your list of approved software installation 
web sites in Firefox?
Volker

is explained on the install-page

Where ? The Mozzilla section just talks about downloading a zip file 
and & copying to the plugins folder ....

Here are the steps for FireFox 1.5:

   1. Click Tools->Options
   2. Click "Content"

   3. Click "Exceptions" next to "Warn me when web sites try to install 
   extensions or themes"
   4. Type "rebol.com"
   5. Press "Allow"
   6. Press "Close", then "OK" to close the Options window.
Could use anextra <p>
Maybe a cache-problem?

Hmm, WinXP Pro, install for IE worked fine, install for FF seemed 
to work fine as the Red/Blue box was displayed, but clicking on the 
test.html link in the developer guide brings up the HTML without 
the TestPanel application.
and yes, I did the uninstall first.
A similar thing happend to me on my Win2k Pro laptop for work, I 
initially installed the plugin in FF, then tried IE.  FF worked like 
a charm, however IE presented the same scenario as listed above for 
FF, dowload words, image is displayed, even saw the test page, but 
a very simple Rebol app worked in FF, but not in IE.
Anyone else able to get the plugin installed properly in more than 
one browser?
I'm going to try my work laptop now (er, after the 3 minute boot)
Hmm, the Win2K laptop didn't get either installed.  FF plugin is 
bailing on the .xpt file... it's never getting installed it appears.
No idea why the IE plugin didn't work on the win2k laptop.  Does 
it matter if I don't have FF installed in %programfiles%.  I have 
installed many of my apps on my D: drive, however, did not reassing 
this system variable to my D:\.

It would be better to have a more obvious test/image to show that 
the installation works than some text with a shifting coloured background
hmm.. I can't get http://www.compkarori.com/reb/working on firefox

works in both browsers, with app.
.. own app..
except of "wait time", that waits a few secs instead of fractions.

FF 1.5 WinXP install worked. I already tried yesterday, but it didn't 
work then. 

But the only demo that's working for me ist the one on the auto-install 
page.
Everywhere else I only get a black line.

Maybe the object-id has changed, and html needs to change? the old 
plugin is removed, so..
Could there be an easy way to uninstall? I feel more comfortable 
when i can say people "install it, try my script, uninstall" as long 
as security  is not finished.
Had a massive memory-leak somewhere in the browser, while running 
heavy graphics plugin and reloading often. Seems they got stuck on 
quit or something? (as i said, reloaded, called also quita few times)

the initial demo worked?
Friend and me having fun with the plugin. Really amateurisch :) He 
tries the web-part, http://www.legends-of-istaba.de.ki/and webcaming, 
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7522578118238437287. But 
insist on keeping the real thing secret :) (anyway not worth 10mb 
download for now..)
(and he does the artwork, based on stuff found here: http://reinerstileset.4players.de/index.html
)
