WebBaseNetscapePluginView leaks like a mofo

[Steve Gehrman]

In my app, an interactive flash swf is constantly sending info back and forth to the client app and each communication creates a stream but never releases it.  It was eating memory like crazy.

Add this to WebBaseNetscapePluginView.m

- (void)streamIsDead:(WebBaseNetscapePluginStream*)stream;
{
    [[stream retain] autorelease];
    
    // don't want to retain the stream anylonger
    [streams removeObjectIdenticalTo:stream];
}

In WebBaseNetscaplePluginStream.m add this one line to setPluginPointer....

- (void)setPluginPointer:(NPP)pluginPointer
{
    if (pluginPointer) {
        instance = pluginPointer;
        pluginView = [(WebBaseNetscapePluginView *)instance->ndata retain];
        WebNetscapePluginPackage *plugin = [pluginView plugin];
        NPP_NewStream = [plugin NPP_NewStream];
        NPP_WriteReady = [plugin NPP_WriteReady];
        NPP_Write = [plugin NPP_Write];
        NPP_StreamAsFile = [plugin NPP_StreamAsFile];
        NPP_DestroyStream = [plugin NPP_DestroyStream];
        NPP_URLNotify = [plugin NPP_URLNotify];
    } else {
        instance = NULL;
        
        [pluginView streamIsDead:self];  // <-- added this line only
        
        [pluginView release];
        pluginView = nil;
        NPP_NewStream = NULL;
        NPP_WriteReady = NULL;
        NPP_Write = NULL;
        NPP_StreamAsFile = NULL;
        NPP_DestroyStream = NULL;
        NPP_URLNotify = NULL;
    }
}

Thank you for making the fix! It would be easier (and therefore faster) to process if you could submit it according to the guidelines from <http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html>.

[Steve Gehrman]

It would be easier and faster if you just fixed the code rather than wasting my time telling me to reformat my bug report.  It's super simple.

Thanks for your cooperation Steve.
