Thanks for your reply.
If I understood you correctly, the code sequence would look like this:
nsCOMPtr<nsIFile> appDataDir;
nsCOMPtr<nsProfileDirServiceProvider> profProvider;
NS_GetSpecialDirectory(NS_APP_APPLICATION_REGISTRY_DIR,
getter_AddRefs(appDataDir));
NS_NewProfileDirServiceProvider(PR_TRUE, getter_AddRefs(profProvider));
profProvider->Register();
nsCOMPtr<nsILocalFile> localAppDataDir = appDataDir->QueryInterface(blah
blah blah);
profProvider->SetProfileDir(localAppDataDir);
If you take a look into mfcembed, it works like this, but only in case if
USE_PROFILES is not defined.
By default it is defined and the following code is run:
m_ProfileMgr = new CProfileMgr;
m_ProfileMgr->StartUp();
and this StartUp fails on attempt to find factory for NS_PROFILE_CONTRACTID
(see its call to do_GetService(NS_PROFILE_CONTRACTID))
I looked through the code base and found that this NS_PROFILE_CONTRACTID is
never available with single-profile applications.
Effectively it means that USE_PROFILES in mfsembed is not in sync with
MOZ_SINGLE_PROFILE. Looks like a bug then :)
Regarding SSL, I'm not quite agreed with you. To me it looks like applications
should care of its profile first, make sure it is
properly created and initialized,
then care of nss3 initialization, right?
