Hi

    First of all, i hope i'm sending this message to the right discution
group.

    If not, i'm realy sorry :(

    I had the weird idea today to build a "plugin" for Firefox that enable
    fetching Exif informations from a localy loaded jpep file (into firefox
cache).

    After having a quick look on the web, i (finally ;) understood that :

        1) Javascript will never had the possibility to read a file.

        2) I have to write a plugin for Firefox accessible from JS.

    That's why i'm here :)

    I'm wandering if writing that kind of plugin in XPCOM is possible.

    My main trouble is to be certain that accessing a firefox instance cache
    from a XPCOM plugin is possible.

    Are XPCOM plugin / FireFox memory interactions possible (and
    specialy FireFox cache) ?

    If it is, can you give me a hand.

    A few links to simple exemples like this one should do the trick to
    begin with (i hope so) :

        http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpcom/sample/

    Especialy exemples that access Firefox memory a way or another.

    Hoping it is not too much to ask (and that i won't have to access
directly
    to Firefox code; the higer, the better ;)

    Regards.

Benoit Lefevre.
