This has never worked in WebKit, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work in any modern browser. Furthermore, now that plug-ins run in separate processes that can come and go at any time this isn't really feasible to implement. There are other ways for a plug-in to associate user data with a particular URL. If this is the case, I think there still think there is the remaining problem that the plugins are destroyed and renewed and thereby loosing all context as I described. |
