Hello, everyone I'm Zhenbo Li, a college student who participated in GSoC 2014 for mshtml.dll. I'm glad to continue working on mshtml this year. My idea is to implement IHTMLXMLHttpRequest+IHTMLStorage(sessionStorage) as my project.
1.IHTMLXMLHttpRequest ================== XMLHttpRequest is used heavily in AJAX programming.[1] Wine has implemented most of it in msxml component, but it's a stub in mshtml. Most js code doesn't treat wine IE as IE6 or earlier, so they will not choost ActiveX[2] to work around it(like Firebug Lite[3]) My current implementation only works fine for absolute urls[4]. I've located the first obstacle: typedef struct { //... IUri *base_uri; //... } httprequest; After finding a way to pass base_uri from mshtml.dll to msxml3.dll, Wine Gecko should support IHTMLXMLHttpRequest for relative urls[5].
2. sessionStorage =============== IHTMLStorage[6] is used widely, including Firebug Lite[3]. A well-implemented IHTMLStorage interface should support both sessionStorage and localStorage. I tried to write both of them, but found that it may be necessary to adjust wine-gecko code to support that(Thank Jacek). Therefore, implementing sessionStorage can be the first step of implementing localStorage. This is my idea for GSoC 2015, I appreciate for any comment. Thank you.
