UserAgent string is malformed for XULRunner apps. Run simple.xulapp with HTTP logging enabled: > user-agent = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; @AB_CD@; rv:1.8b2) So, it looks like there is a problem with the locale setting, and we are also missing the Gecko/ suffix. We should probably also incorporate the AppName into the UA string.

OK, this patch fixes the UA string problem with the following changes: 1) define "general.useragent.vendor" and "general.useragent.vendorSub" in the simple app's preferences file. 2) add "#filter substitution" to xulrunner.js so that "general.useragent.locale" is correctly converted from @AB_CD@ to en-US. 3) recognize that Gecko/xyz is actually added after HTTP is initialized the first time, so it isn't a bug ;-) Other changes included in this patch: - utilize XPI_NAME and restructure the build fu for simple - include DTD file for simple to demonstrate locales.

NOTE: the build changes included in this patch are probably only temporary. ultimately, i want to move some of these steps into rules.mk, but i'm happy to put that off until a later patch.

I just realized that I forgot to commit the xulrunner/app portions of this patch. Those have now been committed.
