Hi, So it seems we have a nsplugin user and new developer? Do you use it? Would you be willing to maintain/develop it? nsplugin has not seen any real *development* for 8 years : http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/log/trunk/src/signer
As I've also written a web signing plugin for Firefox/Opera/Safari I can say it has changed from "Netscape plugins" to a more useful, cross- browser API. I don't know if the current signer can do it. But it's not trivial, for example on OS X plugins can have 3 or four different entry ways into the plugin, depending on CPU architecture and browser - different browsers (Namely Opera) do it a bit differently, at least they used to 1.5 years ago. If there are users who use the otherwise almost dead code, we can extract it and leave it for those who want it, the way it currently is. It would use a deprecated API (directly libopensc), compete with pkcs11.sign() method of Firefox, would not work on other browsers and would not have any real documentation or designed features.
