reproduce procedure 1. use localize build ja/de/fr 2. visit http://www.w3.org/International/Group The dialog is not localizable. The bad code is in mozilla/netwerk/protocol/http/src/nsHTTPChannel.cpp 2026 valeski 1.92 //TODO localize it! 2027 scc 1.155 nsAutoString message; message.AssignWithConversion("Enter username for "); 2028 shaver 1.186 // later on change to only show realm and then host's info. 2029 scc 1.155 message.AppendWithConversion(iChallenge); 2030 valeski 1.92 2031 // Get url 2032 warren 1.180 nsXPIDLCString urlCString; 2033 warren 1.183 mURI->GetPrePath(getter_Copies(urlCString)); 2034 shaver 1.186 2035 warren 1.183 nsAutoString prePath = NS_ConvertToString(urlCString); // XXX i18n 2036 warren 1.180 rv = mPrompter->PromptUsernameAndPassword(nsnull, 2037 message.GetUnicode(), 2038 warren 1.183 prePath.GetUnicode(), 2039 morse 1.201 nsIPrompt::SAVE_PASSWORD_PERMANENTLY, 2040 shaver 1.186 getter_Copies(userBuf), 2041 getter_Copies(passwdBuf), 2042 warren 1.180 &retval); 2043 shaver 1.186 if (NS_FAILED(rv)) 2044 gagan 1.129 return rv; Please move these string into string bundle.

this is localizability issue. Without it, we can not ship localized client. nsbeta3

actual behavior See English string "Enter username for " in localize build. expect behavior in localize build see these text translated into japanese/french/germany

We've got a string bundle for this stuff: netwerk/resources/locale/en-US/necko.properties This is gagan's code -- reassigning.

http bugs to "Networking::HTTP"

removing stale nsbeta3 keyword.

If someone can suggest how this might be done, I'll have a go - but I can't find other examples of how it's done elsewhere... Do I really need to create a StringBundleService as suggested on http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/string-resources.html ? Gerv

yes, you need to use stringBundle to retrieve it from 'necko.properties'. You should be able to find example code in mozilla with lxr.

Sample code is in mailnews/compose/src/nsSmtpProtocol.cpp in nsSmtpProtocol::GetUsernamePassword()

darin: I should make the point here that I'm finding this a bit beyond me, and you shouldn't rely on me fixing it... Sorry about that :-( It's not at all as straightforward as I thought it was. Gerv

This is targeted for 1.0, let's mark this one nsbranch- for this round.

If we want more secured features, I'd suggest we take this.

Marking nsbranch- as it was decided in the August bug triage that we wouldn't have enough time in eMojo to fix this. Let's revisit for MachV.

adding nsbeta1

Doesn't this fixed in version 1.2 of nsHttpChannel.cpp (11 May 2001) ? See nsHttpChannel::PromptForUserPass(), around lines 1548-1577...

denis: yeah, i think you are correct. marking FIXED.
