A real oddity to me is that if I put the plugin into debug mode before
running firefox it all works:
$ export ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true
$ firefox --new-instance 2>&1 | tee /tmp/ffdebug.log
(will attach log momentarily)
after downloading the source package and poking around, I found this
code:
gchar* proxy;
uint32_t len;
gchar* decoded_url = (gchar*) calloc(strlen(parts[4]) + 1,
sizeof(gchar));
IcedTeaPluginUtilities::decodeURL(parts[4], &decoded_url);
PLUGIN_DEBUG("parts[0]=%s, parts[1]=%s, reference, parts[3]=%s,
parts[4]=%s -- decoded_url=%s\n", parts[0], parts[1], parts[3], parts[4],
decoded_url);
gchar* proxy_info;
#if MOZILLA_VERSION_COLLAPSED < 1090100
proxy = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char)*2048);
#endif
proxy_info = g_strconcat ("plugin PluginProxyInfo reference ",
parts[3], " ", NULL);
if (get_proxy_info(decoded_url, &proxy, &len) == NPERR_NO_ERROR)
{
proxy_info = g_strconcat (proxy_info, proxy, NULL);
}
PLUGIN_DEBUG("Proxy info: %s\n", proxy_info);
plugin_send_message_to_appletviewer(proxy_info);
g_free(decoded_url);
decoded_url = NULL;
g_free(proxy_info);
proxy_info = NULL;
#if MOZILLA_VERSION_COLLAPSED < 1090100
g_free(proxy);
proxy = NULL;
#endif
note that proxy is only allocated if MOZILLA_VERSION_COLLAPSED < 1090100
(is not even initialized otherwise), but is used if get_proxy_info
succeeds, so on the first invocation we get (potentially) garbage output
like so:
plugin PluginProxyInfo reference 0 �Þ
for whatever reason, having debugging enabled causes this not to happen
(perhaps a side-effect of the fprintf call inside the PLUGIN_DEBUG
macro? I'm not really sure)
Anyway, I am building a possible patch for this right now and will
submit once I have verified that it works as I expect it to.
