Plugins run in their own separate plugin process. > Flash plugins is closed source and it can make more than HTTP request. > Flash can make RTMP request for video. > How does IO in plugin being handled? Requests made through NPAPI get routed back through the browser's HTTP layer. Other requests go directly to the system, as plugin processes are not sandboxed. (In some sense, getting plugins out of the renderer process is a prerequisite for making renderer processes sandboxable.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
