i'm currently investigating the possibility of using xpcom, necko (just for http[s]) and nss as a basis for building a new application with as few dependencies as possible.
as i've been experimenting using xpcshell, i've come across what appears to be a dependency in necko (or was it nss??) on some preference/profile stuff when using https. basically, when i try to open a new channel for an https url, it tries to open a profile, but xpcshell doesn't register/use and profile stuff, and it fails. anyway, can somebody confirm or deny this dependency and/or provide some sort of overview on what kind of setup needs to happen to be able to use https from my app? TIA - kevin.
