Re: [webkit-dev] S60WebKit MIME type question
Just to add, you are right, S60 browser uses ECOM to load a list of plugins at runtime that implement the interface 'CEcomBrowserPluginInterface'. It stores meta data about each plugin, such as the MIME type it handles and the UID of the DLL implementing the plugin. The browser then loads the plugin if the MIME type found in the or tag matches. One thing to look out for is that I don't thin the NPAPI is fully implemented on S60.

Re: [webkit-dev] S60WebKit MIME type question
Plugins should follow the NPAPI (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference) and so it shouldn't really matter if it pre-dates WebKit. No doubt someone else on this mailing list can offer more help here (since I'm new to webkit). If you sign up to the Symbian Foundation, then you can browse S60 code online. Unfortunately having had a quick look it seems there are no reference plugin implementations in the code. There are some s60 specific plugin files, using the Symbian Foundation cross referencing tool, they can be found in: /MCL/sf/mw/web/webengine/osswebengine/WebKit/s60/plugins (http://developer.symbian.org/xref/oss/xref/MCL/sf/mw/web/webengine/osswebengine/WebKit/s60/plugins/) On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 3:35 PM, Sam Critchley wrote: > > Hi Jack, > > Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Re: [webkit-dev] S60WebKit MIME type question
Hi Jack, Thanks for taking the time to reply. The Nokia Platform Services resources are great, but currently only available in WRT on their S60 5th edition devices (5800 and N97). I think we're also going to look closely at the plug-in route as well - I wonder if there's a repository of standard plug-ins somewhere... I found the following on S60 browser plug-ins: http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/technologies/browser_plug-in_api.html Unfortunately I think this pre-dates the WebKit browser, so I'm not sure it still applies I did find some documentation on Ecom plug-ins as well. I assume that's also available through S60WebKit as well. The main question is whether there's a repository of existing plug-ins somewhere (e.g. if there's a camera plug-in) or if you have to code your own.
