Summary: mime handler for xpi type → [feature] mime handler for xpi type
we need it so that when you click on a xpi (or JAR) file in the browser, we get to be the default handler.

We could hard-code this as another entry in nsMIMEService.cpp, but we really need to have a more extensible solution.

for now if you want to associate a mime type w/ a file extension, hard code it in nsMIMEService. It sounds like cathleen's talking about registering as a content type handler which gets into the eventsink getter registration stuff.

I think this is just another case of URL dispatching. URL dispatching looks at the content type (in your case, we'll make one up for xpi files), and finds the application to handle it (the installer). I'm going to mark this as dependent on the URL dispatching bug (although distinct from it) because taking care of this will still require a bit of work after that architecture is in place.

PDT wants to know what we lose by not having this for B1?

We lose the ability to click on a link to launch a zippy install, all installs would have to be launched from scripted actions. Primarily this means users can't surf the mozilla.org (or netscape) ftp directories in order to install anything.

Did you put it on an anchor or put it on a button? Still seems like a pdt minus. Send additional comments directly to pdt alias if you have more info. Thanks!
