Since almost all Google domains support HTTPS, and it is a good practice to use HTTPS wherever possible, thus in this patch, I changed most HTTP links to https whose domains are known to support HTTPS well. Modifications are generated by running these commands in src/docs directory: sed -i 's/http:\/\/www.chromium.org/https:\/\/www.chromium.org/g' *.md sed -i 's/http:\/\/developer.android.com/https:\/\/developer.android.com/g' *.md sed -i 's/http:\/\/dev.chromium.org/https:\/\/dev.chromium.org/g' *.md sed -i 's/http:\/\/build.chromium.org/https:\/\/build.chromium.org/g' *.md sed -i 's/http:\/\/src.chromium.org/https:\/\/src.chromium.org/g' *.md sed -i 's/http:\/\/crbug.com/https:\/\/crbug.com/g' *.md sed -i 's/http:\/\/groups.google.com/https:\/\/groups.google.com/g' *.md sed -i 's/http:\/\/cs.chromium.org/https:\/\/cs.chromium.org/g' *.md sed -i 's/http:\/\/codereview.chromium.org/https:\/\/codereview.chromium.org/g' *.md BUG= Review-Url: https://codereview.chromium.org/2545363002 Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/master@{#436501}

# Linux Plugins
|
|
|
|
## Background reading materials
|
|
|
|
### Plugins in general
|
|
|
|
* [Gecko Plugin API reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference)
|
|
-- most important to read
|
|
* [Mozilla plugins site](http://www.mozilla.org/projects/plugins/)
|
|
* [XEmbed extension](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XEmbed_Extension_for_Mozilla_Plugins)
|
|
-- newer X11-specific plugin API
|
|
* [NPAPI plugin guide](http://gplflash.sourceforge.net/gplflash2_blog/npapi.html)
|
|
from GPLFlash project
|
|
|
|
### Chromium-specific
|
|
|
|
* [Chromium's plugin architecture](https://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/plugin-architecture)
|
|
-- may be out of date but will be worth reading
|
|
|
|
## Code to reference
|
|
|
|
* [Mozilla plugin code](http://mxr.mozilla.org/firefox/source/modules/plugin/base/src/)
|
|
-- useful reference
|
|
* [nspluginwrapper](http://gwenole.beauchesne.info//en/projects/nspluginwrapper)
|
|
-- does out-of-process plugins itself
|
|
|
|
## Terminology
|
|
|
|
* _Internal plugin_: "a plugin that's implemented in the chrome dll, i.e.
|
|
there's no external dll that services that mime type. For Linux you'll just
|
|
have to worry about the default plugin, which is what shows a puzzle icon
|
|
for content that you don't have a plugin for. We use that to allow the user
|
|
to download and install the missing plugin."
|
|
|
|
## Flash
|
|
|
|
* [Adobe Flash player dev center](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/)
|
|
* [penguin.swf](http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/) -- blog about Flash on
|
|
Linux
|
|
* [tips and tricks](http://macromedia.mplug.org/) -- user-created page, with
|
|
some documentation of special flags in `/etc/adobe/mms.cfg`
|
|
* [official Adobe bug tracker](https://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/)
|
|
|
|
## Useful Tools
|
|
|
|
* `xwininfo -tree` -- lets you inspect the window hierarchy of a window and
|
|
get the layout of child windows.
|
|
* "[DiamondX](http://multimedia.cx/diamondx/) is a simple NPAPI plugin built
|
|
to run on Unix platforms and exercise the XEmbed browser extension."
|
|
* To build a 32-bit binary:
|
|
`./configure CFLAGS='-m32' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/lib32 -m32'`
|
