Here is what we use in our embedded Gecko app, and it seems to work fine:
//---------------------------------------------------------
//Temp vars
nsIWebNavigation *piwnWebNavigation = nsnull;
nsIURI *piuURI = nsnull;
nsCString csString;
//QIing for the web navigation object
piwbWebBrowser->QueryInterface (NS_GET_IID (nsIWebNavigation), (void**)
&piwnWebNavigation);
//Getting the URI object
piwnWebNavigation->GetCurrentURI (&piuURI);
//Getting URL from URI object
piuURI->GetSpec (csString);
//Releasing
piuURI->Release ();
piwnWebNavigation->Release ();
**NOTE**
"piwbWebBrowser" is an nsIWebBrowser object created earlier in the app with:
rv = nsComponentManager::CreateInstance
("@mozilla.org/embedding/browser/nsWebBrowser;1", nsnull, NS_GET_IID
(nsIWebBrowser), (void**) &piwbWebBrowser);
//---------------------------------------------------------
Also, I noticed that if I tried to get the nsIURI object BEFORE the web page
had completely loaded, I got NULL for that object. So I had to wait till I
was notified that the web page was completely loaded before I tried to do
this. This could maybe be your problem?
Hope this helps.
