NPN_SetValueForURL

« Gecko Plugin API Reference « Browser Side Plug-in API

Summary

Allows a plugin to change the stored information associated with a URL, in particular its cookies. (While the API theoretically allows the preferred proxy for a given URL to be changed, doing so does not have much meaning given how proxies are configured, and is not supported.)

Syntax

#include <npapi.h>
typedef enum {
  NPNURLVCookie = 501,
  NPNURLVProxy
} NPNURLVariable;
NPError NPN_SetValueForURL(NPP instance,
                           NPNURLVariable variable,
                           const char *url,
                           const char *value,
                           uint32_t len);

Parameters

This function has the following parameters:

instance

Pointer to the current plug-in instance.

variable

Selects the type of information to be changed. The only supported type is NPNURLVCookie.

url

The URL for which to change information.

value

The new associated information for the URL. Note: the value may have internal NULL bytes and may not be NULL-terminated.

len

The length of the value buffer.

Returns
