Conditionally enable double key logic according to:
private browsing mode or privacy.thirdparty.isolate preference and
implement in GetCookieStringCommon and FindCookie where it counts...
With some reservations of how to convince FindCookie users to test
condition and pass a nullptr when disabling double key logic.
| michael@0 | 1 | The files in this directory provide simple line-editing and history |
| michael@0 | 2 | support for the standalone javascript engine, through the 'editline' |
| michael@0 | 3 | library. |
| michael@0 | 4 | |
| michael@0 | 5 | editline has only been enabled for those platforms on which it is |
| michael@0 | 6 | known to build; to try it on a different platform, define JS_EDITLINE |
| michael@0 | 7 | before building. Line editing (and js.c) is not a supported feature |
| michael@0 | 8 | of the javascript library, so your mileage my vary. |
| michael@0 | 9 | |
| michael@0 | 10 | The editline API is a compatible subset of the FSF readline API; if |
| michael@0 | 11 | you have readline installed and would like to link to that instead, |
| michael@0 | 12 | define JS_READLINE. Note that the readline library is distributed |
| michael@0 | 13 | under the GPL, so any resulting binaries are not legally |
| michael@0 | 14 | distributable. |
| michael@0 | 15 | |
| michael@0 | 16 | The editline files used here have been modified to work with the js |
| michael@0 | 17 | build system and to quiet some compiler warnings, and also to remove |
| michael@0 | 18 | filename-completion support. |
| michael@0 | 19 | |
| michael@0 | 20 | If anyone knows of a more recent version of these files, or a site on |
| michael@0 | 21 | which they are being maintained, please let me know! |

| michael@0 | 26 | The original README file distributed with the editline library follows. |
| michael@0 | 27 | |
| michael@0 | 28 | |
| michael@0 | 29 | |
| michael@0 | 30 | This is a line-editing library. It can be linked into almost any |
| michael@0 | 31 | program to provide command-line editing and recall. |
| michael@0 | 32 | |
| michael@0 | 33 | It is call-compatible with the FSF readline library, but it is a |
| michael@0 | 34 | fraction of the size (and offers fewer features). It does not use |
| michael@0 | 35 | standard I/O. It is distributed under a "C News-like" copyright. |
| michael@0 | 36 | |
| michael@0 | 37 | Configuration is done in the Makefile. Type "make testit" to get |
| michael@0 | 38 | a small slow shell for testing. |
| michael@0 | 39 | |
| michael@0 | 40 | An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc. Principal |
| michael@0 | 41 | changes over that version include: |
| michael@0 | 42 | Faster. |
| michael@0 | 43 | Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu) |
| michael@0 | 44 | Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings) |
| michael@0 | 45 | Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes |
| michael@0 | 46 | Doesn't need or use or provide memmove. |
| michael@0 | 47 | More robust |
| michael@0 | 48 | Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline. |
| michael@0 | 49 | Test program, new manpage, better configuration |
| michael@0 | 50 | More system-independent; includes Unix and OS-9 support. |
| michael@0 | 51 | |
| michael@0 | 52 | This contains some changes since the posting to comp.sources.misc: |
| michael@0 | 53 | Bugfix for completion on absolute pathnames. |
| michael@0 | 54 | Better handling of M-n versus showing raw 8bit chars. |
| michael@0 | 55 | Better signal handling. |
| michael@0 | 56 | Now supports termios/termio/sgttyb ioctl's. |
| michael@0 | 57 | Add M-m command to toggle how 8bit data is displayed. |
| michael@0 | 58 | |
| michael@0 | 59 | There is one known bug: |
| michael@0 | 60 | History-searching redraws the line wrong if the text |
| michael@0 | 61 | retrieved is shorter then the prompt. |
| michael@0 | 62 | |
