[9fans] webfs + mozilla

[Enrico Weigelt <weigelt@metux.de>]

Hi folks,


I'm now thinking about changing mozilla to use webfs instead of
its own protocol handling for quite some while (the whole caching
machinery should also be kicked off in this process and delegated
to either an local proxy like wwwoffle or implemented in webfs).

The big question to me now is: can webfs already handle everything
that a full-blown browser needs ? For example, https and certificates ?
How can the necessary information be accessed at the right time,
eg. for things like asking the user whether to accept some cert, etc.


In longer terms, I'd also replace mozilla's handling of other
protocols, eg. ftp, by an webfs implementation.


What do you think about this ?
