Hello!
I tried out signed scripts today, and have some problems. Firstly, I
have created a HTML file (see below) which does
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect").
Then I put it in the directory "pref" and called this command:
./signtool -k"biesi" -Z"pref.jar" pref
(my cert is nicknamed biesi)
There were apparently no errors, and "unzip -l pref.jar" shows these files:
730 06-07-02 15:35 test.html
241 06-07-02 15:35 META-INF/manifest.mf
349 06-07-02 15:35 META-INF/zigbert.sf
3375 06-07-02 15:35 META-INF/zigbert.rsa
However, if I put pref.jar on my server and connect to it like:
jar:http://server/~chb/pref.jar!/test.html
I get undefined in the textfield, and an error message in JS Console
("Error: uncaught exception: enablePrivilege not granted"). I did not
get a dialog asking for the requested privileges.
Did I do something wrong?
Here's the test.html file:
----------------------start of html
<html>
<head>
<title>Pref Test</title>
<script type="application/x-javascript">
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
const prefService =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefService);
const prefBranch = prefService.getBranch(null);
var timebombVal;
try {
timebombVal =
prefBranch.getCharPref("timebomb.first_launch_time");
}
catch (ex) {
alert(ex);
}
function setVal() {
document.prefs.timebomb.value = timebombVal;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="setVal();">
<form name="prefs" id="prefs" onsubmit="return false;">
<input name="timebomb">
</form>
</body>
</html>
