The GTK+ backend currently doesn't implement any plug-ins support. It should do so probably supporting the old NPAPI with XEmbed and GTK2 support, as well as using the more native API used by other ports.
Jean-Charles VERDIE from Pleyo (they are doing some mobile Webkit port) mentioned that he might be working on plugin support. I wonder if there is any overlap.
To be clearer: We are trying to understand what has been done on the windows port, split the common part and the specific part, then to understand how it works and give this code back to webkit to make it possible to implement using different backend while we won't do more than re-implementing Windows (for testing purposes) and our own "owBal" implementation (ours at sand-labs.org)

Created attachment 16998 [details] Start at plug-ins patch Here is my patch which mostly implements everything needed for plug-ins to work. It's got some debug printfs() lying around, and the code isn't perfectly matching the style guide yet. If flash is found, it will crash the browser on pages that use it. Flash requires use of X toolkit bits still, and without these, it simply just crashes whatever loads it. Implementing this requires a custom widget to integrate the necessary bits with GTK+. Unfortunately, the GtkSocket I'm trying to use isn't getting sized properly or rendered on screen. It seems to get parented, mapped, and the plug-in seems to get embedded. But, the size never gets allocated to anything > 1x1, with a position of -1,-1. I need to get this widget to embed and render properly before I can really do anything else, unfortunately. Feel free to try the patch though. It would be great if someone could figure out why it's not working right. I still don't understand exactly how the WebKitPage parenting and stuff is supposed to work.
Alp helped Rodney work out the issue with the widget sizing/positioning, and I think he's back underway on his plugin patch.
Created attachment 17239 [details] Update plug-ins patch Here is an updated version of the plug-ins patch. This version only supports Xt windowed plug-ins. Next version of the patch will support both. Adobe Flash 9 works with this version. You can watch the videos on http://homestarrunner.com/ . Youtube and similar flash video player sites will load the flash, but only stream the first N bytes of the actual video to the player. This is because the PluginStreamGtk code is not fully complete. Hopefully I should have it fixed in the next version also. I'm also having trouble getting the Xt plug-ins to scroll correctly. It doesn't seem to update the position properly. But all in all it's nice to see flash working. :)

Created attachment 17297 [details] Updated patch to handle XEmbed and Xt plug-ins both Ok. Here is an updated version of the patch. It handles both XEmbed and Xt plug-ins the same way gecko does, by checking the value of NPPVneedsXEmbed with the plug-in's GetValue implementation. I'd like to start splitting up the patch logically now and getting some pieces in. Perhaps the PluginDatabaseGtk impl and the ability to build with XP_UNIX enabled (but only when building for X11). Are there standard locations for plug-ins on win32 and osx that we should be checking? I'd like to get that support in PluginDatabaseGtk also.
Built and tested dobey's "Updated patch to handle XEmbed and Xt plug-ins both" patch with a r27911 WebKit checkout. Macromedia Flash playback on YouTube worked. =) Be good to start merging this patch in. I hope to help dobey to improve the NPAPI implementation with some scriptability tests.

Created attachment 18239 [details] Updated patch to build with autotools also, against r29084
Comment on attachment 18239 [details] Updated patch to build with autotools also, against r29084 Sorry that this has been relatively untouched for so long. There are a few relatively serious issues here: PluginViewGtk has a large amount of duplicated code with PluginViewWin, some of which could trivially be factored out (handlePost, parseRFC822HeaderFields and friends). It also contains many chunks of commented-out code, unused variables (kWebPluginViewWindowClassName, kWebPluginViewProperty) and plugin quirks which are probably not needed on non-Windows platforms. I'm not sure that PluginMessageThrottlerGtk would be needed on non-Windows platforms as I believe the Windows equivalent exists due to peculiarities with paint events and the Windows message queue, but I suspect Anders would know more about that. I suspect the references to XID might need to be conditional on X11 being available, both in PluginViewGtk.cpp and PluginViewGtk.h. PluginViewGtk seems to contain a bunch of references to "wndProc" still which is a Windows concept that seems out of place in this Gtk code. PluginStreamGtk seems to have a large amount of duplicate code with PluginStreamWin, only the Gtk version looks to be broken in the case of NP_ASFILE/NP_ASFILEONLY streams. It should be possible to share the majority of this code with Windows, and eventually share with the Mac when that code is refactored. With a bit more polish we should be able to get this landed soon.

No, it's crashing when trying to stream data for flash.

Anything but a reasonably a http connection that closes fast enough will probably crash. I'm meeting with Alp Toker in a few weeks and I'll get a patch out soon after. Right now I've got to get a demo going. The new version is doing stuff like this. curl_multi_setopt(d->m_curlMultiHandle, CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION, socketCallback); curl_multi_setopt(d->m_curlMultiHandle, CURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA,this); curl_multi_setopt(d->m_curlMultiHandle, CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION,timerCallback); curl_multi_setopt(d->m_curlMultiHandle, CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA,this); Which is a lot better and has not crashed yet for me. Curl still has a few bogus timer callbacks but this can be fixed a bit later. The big issue left is msg's to the multi handle should be possible from a callback. But I'll need to send a patch in for curl itself to fix this.

We should try to keep track of all "bundled" source code from other projects so we can keep up to date with their bugfixes, and maybe even send back our fixes to the code. If the intention is not to bundle the code but to adopt it, then it needs to be modified to follow WebKit coding style. Bundled code should keep upstream coding style -- i think in this case it's better to treat the code as bundled to avoid needless changes. What do you think?

The reason I say that the MPL should be deleted is that the MPL specifically says this: * Alternatively, the contents of this file may be used under the terms of * either the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later (the "GPL"), or * the GNU Lesser General Public License Version 2.1 or later (the "LGPL"), * in which case the provisions of the GPL or the LGPL are applicable instead * of those above.

The reason I think it would be necessary is that code contributed to WebKit needs to be licensed under either LGPL or new BSD. If the license gives the user the option to take it under the GPL or MPL, I would think that is incompatible. However there may have been some confusion here. Is this code merely being bundled, and not actually being contributed to form part of WebKit? If that's the case then of course there's no problem with keeping the original license.

There is no incompatibility with having more licensing terms for a snippet of code than for the rest of the tree, as far as licenses are compatible. And obviously, a code snippet that is licensed under the terms of MPL, GPL *and* LGPL can be linked to LGPL or BSD licensed code. (BTW, code contributed to WebKit is usually licensed under LGPL, 3-clause BSD *or* 2-clause BSD, which is actually quite annoying, because each file has a different license. Why not have *all* dual-licensed under 3-clause BSD and LGPL ?)

Sriram, your updated patch still refers to PluginDataGtk.cpp in GNUmakefile.am , even though you removed that file from the patch, so it doesn't build. That line should be taken out of GNUmakefile.am , I guess.
Same thing with PluginPackageGtk.cpp . Is this patch just broken? Or is it meant to be a serial patch together with 31326, in which case it's still wrong as it still contains some of the same things as 31326?

Created attachment 20621 [details] Updated patch against r31990 - fixed missing files Fixed my previous patch, that had a few missing files. This one should compile fine
This version works (great!), but breaks the Qt build. The 31326 patch had the same problem. I'm attaching a slightly modified version of sri's patch which fixes that issue. Tested with this patch, Midori and Epiphany-webkit can both do Youtube fine. I had to remove my Java plugin though (I use the IcedTea one), as I was getting this error: [adamw@lenovo SPECS]$ epiphany Init plugins called Module Load Failed :/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so, Error:libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory which caused the browser to crash (same in Midori). Not sure if this is a problem with the patch, the plugin, or just down to packaging on our (Mandriva's) side. With the Java plugin removed, Flash seems to work fine.
Created attachment 20639 [details] fixes sri's latest patch: this one doesn't break the Qt build
yeah, with either Sun or IcedTea Java plugin, Epiphany with this patch crashes on startup for me, and Midori crashes as soon as I go to any site which would require a plugin to be loaded. Anyone else seeing this? With Sun Java I don't get the libxpcom.so error, but the browser still crashes.
is -lnspr4 really needed in GNUmakefile.am ?

Created attachment 20769 [details] Adds NPAPI plugin support for Gtk and Qt-x11. This patch adds NPAPI plugin support for both Gtk (XEmbed, Xt and some support for window-less plugins at the moment) and Qt-x11 (only XEmbed plugins at the moment). It's based on Rodney Dawes' previous work. It also moves some code from win to platform-independent as it's used in all plugin support code. I have tested this patch with both the diamondx plugin (works on both platforms) and Adobe Flash Player, which works but has problems with scrolling on Gtk. Some other plugins don't load because they depend on XPCOM. If anyone knows of an Xt plugin I could test with, please send it my way.
for the record, marcoil's patch is against rev 32430. I will test it shortly...
Hi, you can try Acrobat Reader 5 or Flash 7 plugins which use Xt IIRC.
First of all, great job!! I have a few small comments: +#elif PLATFORM(QT) && PLATFORM(UNIX) +#define ENABLE_NETSCAPE_PLUGIN_API 1 In order to not break the Qt/Mac and the Qt/Embedded build I suggest to make this even stricter by perhaps simply using #elif PLATFORM(QT) && defined(Q_WS_X11) In PluginPackageQt.cpp, PluginPackage::load() if loading the module fails I think the QLibrary should be deleted and m_module be set back to a null pointer. Also it seems that unloadModule() in FileSystemQt.cpp does not delete the QLibrary itself, it just calls unload(), which it seems the caller in PluginPackage::freeLibraryTimerFired() expects the function to free any allocated resources. In PluginViewQt.cpp in the PluginView destructor: + if (m_window) + delete m_window; I think the if() is safe to remove :) Other than that I looks good to me on the Qt side.

We can't start introducing a dependency on packages and libraries from another browser. Once the Qt issues are addressed I can look into landing this.

I can confirm that the new patch from marcoil builds clean against the latest nightly (32416). It also basically works, and having a Java plugin installed no longer causes the browser to crash. However, it seems basically flaky. Java plugin still doesn't actually work (though this may be known). Sometimes playing video at Youtube works, but quite often, Midori just crashes. I can also get a reproducible crash simply by running Acid3 ( http://acid3.acidtests.org/ )with the patch applied: it crashes around 76/100. Without the patch, the test completes fine. Have not yet tested with Ephy, I need to rebuild it.
Epiphany results are basically identical to Midori. Also flaky with Flash, nothing with Java, crashes running Acid3.

Created attachment 20794 [details] Adds NPAPI plugin support for Gtk and Qt-x11, r32489 This new patch addresses comments made here: - ENABLE_NETSCAPE_PLUGIN_API on Qt is defined in WebCore.pro, as it was difficult to do it in Platform.h. - QtLibraries are deleted if correctly unloaded. - I removed the dependency on libnspr4, I don't know where that came from. Right now (on my setup), testing with GtkLauncher and QtLauncher: - Acid3 gets to 94/100 on both platforms without crashing, although it gets "linktest failed" on Qt, don't know if this is due to the patch. - Flash semi-works in a very flacky way. It has problems with scrolling on Gtk and YouTube videos stutter on Qt (other videos sites work, though). XEmbed implementations are different and I've sent a patch for Qt that solves this a little. - Java doesn't load and I'm currently investigating why. - Some other plugins don't load because they depend on XPCOM, i.e., totem video plugins. Others don't work on Qt because of Gtk dependencies, like Gnash. - Adobe Reader doesn't load because it needs display info before any PluginView has been created, which will be difficult to solve right now.
will incorporate the patch into our build and do my own tests later. Thanks. I thought current Webkit was supposed to hit 100/100 on acid3?

(In reply to comment #76) > - Java doesn't load and I'm currently investigating why. The Java plugin does not work because it depends on OJI, an older interface and not on NPAPI, and this will not be fixed until JRE's next version. It will possibly need extensions to NPAPI, so it should take a while.
> Now that I've tested it, I only get 94/100 and the same "linktest failed" with > QtLauncher without the patch. You probably forgot to enable svg support
Results with the new marcoil patch: acid3 doesn't cause a crash any more. test completes with a score of 98/100 (I'll track down that missing 2 elsewhere, likely nothing to do with the patch). as he noted, scrolling is troublesome. Basically, if you go to Youtube and start playing a video, it'll be fine. If you then scroll the page, the video will freeze on the frame that was being displayed when you scrolled. Audio keeps playing. Thereafter, the video only updates each time you scroll the page: each time you scroll the page the video will update to the 'current' frame, then freeze again.
Forgot to mention: with the patch, if you just run a browser, go to a 'normal' site and then quit, all is fine. If you run a browser, go to Youtube (probably any other site that causes Flash plugin to be loaded, not tested though) and then quit the browser, it segfaults. Midori just segfaults, Epiphany brings up the GNOME crash window.

The crash is reproducible on prizee.com, and you can trigger it too when closing the site's tab.
I'm running WebKit headless (under Xvfb) and experiencing a segfault when I try to load a page with Flash using the latest version of this patch (against r32489). Pages without Flash work fine, but a Youtube video for example will crash right away. I'm using the python bindings (pywebkitgtk). Here's the program that segfaults: import webkit, gtk v = webkit.WebView() v.open("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz7FFlFy8eM") gtk.main() Using another URL, such as http://www.google.com/, works fine (as youtube did before I installed flash), though there is this warning: GtkWarning: gdk_window_invalidate_rect: assertion `window != NULL' failed (this warning was also present before I patched & installed flash) My uninformed guess is that something is trying to draw to the null window. That code could well be in the Flash plugin. Even if it's in WebKit, I don't expect that this use case is a high priority, but I thought to let you all know anyway.
Created attachment 20887 [details] 64-bit fixes Re-add 64-bit fixes that got lost in recent patches.
Created attachment 20888 [details] Specialize NPN_GetValue() NPN_GetValue() should be valid for NULL instance and NPNVToolkit or NPNVSupportsXEmbedBool variables. This is the case for Gnash, nspluginwrapper and probably Acrobat Reader (not tested but the comment in npapi.cpp might indicate that).
Sorry, individual patches only without respecting proper rules because I am building from the WebKit/Clutter git branch.
Created attachment 20901 [details] Adds NPAPI plugin support for Gtk and Qt-x11, r32726 This new, updated and improved patch gets youtube videos working without crashes on my setup, on both GtkLauncher and QtLauncher. (In reply to comment #86) > Re-add 64-bit fixes that got lost in recent patches. > I have incorporated this fix, but not the one separating NPN_GetValue as I'd like to tackle this issue separately. Thanks for the tip!
With the updated marcoil patch, Youtube scrolling and segfault on exit bugs are both solved. Haven't tested Gwenole's other suggested change yet.
Landed in r32766. I had to make a few hundred lines of coding style fixes. Please check the commit to make sure everything is in order. This is going to need some stabilisation work now, still crashes from time to time. We'll probably want it turned off by default in the GTK+ port with a configurable runtime option to enable it, or we're going to be innundated with bug reports.
Comment on attachment 20621 [details] Updated patch against r31990 - fixed missing files Obsoleting this patch to take the bug out of the review queue.
Hi, I have not generated a patch yet, but I got by this one while working on the Clutter version. In WebCore/plugins/gtk/PluginDatabaseGtk.cpp (PluginDatabase::isPreferredPluginDirectory), please use NULL not 0 as the varargs terminator.
Gwenole, now the support is merged, I think it's better to open new bug reports for issues in the merged code rather than keep adding to this - they'll likely get addressed faster that way.
This bug should not have been closed in the first place as per comment #89, the NPN_GetValue() regression is not fixed yet. Anyhow, I will open a new bug for this one too. The g_build_filename() thing is in bug #18906.
