Bug 62457 – [QT] - cannot load a netscape plugin type in Linux QT mode

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Plug-ins

[Migounette]

System - Ubuntu 10.10 / x64 
webKit (r88490) - QT mode
Build command - build-webkit --qt --debug

Summary: A netscape plugin type cannot be loaded, it fails during the initialization phase.

Possible cause:

If you try to load a Netscape plugin (embed mode), during the initialize phase (NetscapePlugin::initialize)

The following code prevent a Netscape plugin type to be loaded:

    if (!platformPostInitialize()) { <== Return false
        destroy();
        return false;
    }

due to ./Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/Plugins/Netscape/NetscapePluginNone.cpp which seems to be a stub.


bool NetscapePlugin::platformPostInitialize()
{
    return false;
}

I can't find NetscapePluginQt.cpp which was present in earlier build (r74228)

So, the init phase is stopped and the plugin is unloaded and destroyed before the setwindow is done.
