I found a problem and fixed it, but I don't understand why the fix works.
I'm posting here to ask if anyone else can explain it.
The Problem
-------------
We have embedded Gecko in a C++ app. I'm calling docShell->LoadStream to
load an HTML document. The HTML document has these two lines in its <HEAD>
section:
<script src='file://C:/NTE/Tests/9991/Scripts/ITSMC.js'
language='javascript'></script>
<script src='file://C:/NTE/Tests/9991/Scripts/NWEAMC.js'
language='javascript'></script>
The document displays just fine but the code in the two JavaScript files
never runs. The document also contains IMG tags with similar fully specified
absolute file:// URLs and the images display correctly. If I load the same
document via nsIWebNavigation::LoadURI the JavaScript code does run. My
JavaScript event handlers respond as they should. The problem occurs only
when loading from a stream. Here's my LoadStream command:
rv = docShell->LoadStream(inputStream,
nsnull,
NS_LITERAL_CSTRING("text/html"),
NS_LITERAL_CSTRING(""),
nsnull);
The Solution
-------------
I can load from a stream and the JavaScript files work if I specify a
protocol in the second parameter:
rv = docShell->LoadStream(inputStream,
"file://",
NS_LITERAL_CSTRING("text/html"),
NS_LITERAL_CSTRING(""),
nsnull);
(No, that's not the exact code--the second parameter is really an nsIURI
object, not a string. Yes, I do make a URI to hold the protocol string.)
That fixes the problem, but I don't understand why. The SRC attributes
already say "file://". Why does that parameter value make a difference?
