I've put together a toolbar in Firefox, but it only has stub methods ... I've been occupied with writing a compiler and trying to relax a little during spring break ;)
The next step is to write the actual data transfer functions, which I'll do when I have time. In the interim, I'd like to know if it's good that the toolbar, when in "auto-send" mode, sends the target URL to Chandler whether or not the page ever loads? If there's a network failure, for instance, the page data (and currently, the headers) would not be sent to Chandler until the page is fully loaded, which may never happen. Is this the desired behavior? If we prefer only to send the URL of a successfully loaded page, the change will be trivial ... but please let me know. A complicating factor: what happens when a user interrupts a large or slow page load? The choice: toolbar sends just the URL, or the URL plus whatever data is loaded thus far, or nothing. I'm simply not sure what use an incomplete DOM would be to Chandler. Possibly we postpone the navigation request until the page is fully loaded and copied to Chandler, but I can't see this being acceptable. One other thing: I have some basic toolbar icons at the moment, but I assume we want some custom icons for this and I'm not a graphics designer. Is it fair to make a request on the design list for nice icons? Or is this even a priority?
