[Vm-dev] Supporting fBrowserMode on Windows ...

[marcel.taeumel]

I found more information. :-)

There are several named primitives, which got deprecated in Squeak because
the "NSPlugin" (NS = Netscape) is no longer supported there in the image
side:

primitivePluginBrowserReady
primitivePluginRequestURLStream
primitivePluginRequestURL
primitivePluginPostURL
primitivePluginRequestFileHandle
primitivePluginDestroyRequest
primitivePluginRequestState

In "win32", those primitives are located in sqWin32PluginSupport.c
In "Mac OS", those primitives are located in sqMacNSPlugin*.c
In "unix", those primitives are per display manager and already set to
"primitiveFail()" ;-)

In the sources, you can find comments saying "Mozilla" or "browser plugin".

Best,
Marcel
