Faster HTTPS detection #8

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Using a different listener we can catch every URL load event as happens.  If we 
can check for "LOAD_INITIAL_DOCUMENT_URI" 
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIChannel) it should be possible to send the 
https request as soon as the first http request is sent (when you 'hit enter' 
or click a link - immediate), rather than once the page is fully loaded as it 
currently does.

This would speed up detection a lot, especially for pages that load a lot of 
external content.

In progress in 0.61. HTTPS detection through HTTP Observer is noticeably 
quicker (sometimes before anything on the http page even becomes visible. 

Filtering load calls by "LOAD_INITIAL_DOCUMENT_URI" and "LOAD_REPLACE". Working 
on code to match the calls to individual tabs, then it should integrate pretty 
easily.

Fixed and released in 0.65dev build. Will submit to Mozilla this week after a 
little more testing.
