Details

Temporary files created during plugin handling are never deleted. The files are placed in the system TEMP directory, named *.ngl

Michael - Where/Why are we making temp files?
We create these files in nsStreamListener.
These files are made as a temporary work around for not having StreamAsFile implemented using the cache. I'll check in a temporary fix for now until I get the cache access working.

Putting on ss: radar to check temp fix.

Not a stop ship
I've decided to forgo the temp fix and just go ahead and implement the cache access. I'm meeting with Gagan tomorrow to discuss it.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Cache access is in, but there are some bugs with it that Gagan is aware of. To enable, you need to define USE_CACHE in nsPluginHostImpl.cpp (but it will crash if the plugin uses AsFile streaming). Marking this fixed (bugs assigned to gagan will determine when the switch is permanently flipped on the USE_CACHE)
will mark verfied assuming reporter agrees with fix

I have now finally had the time to play around with this, and so far it looks like this really has been fixed. I can not be 100% certain yet, because I can not get plugins working correctly.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Okay, at least the nightly build works and with that I was indeed able to verify that this bug is fixed.
