Firefox扩展自动更新功能

标签: firefox tomcat firefox-addon

我正在关注http://www.borngeek.com/firefox/automatic-firefox-extension-updates/的教程,以使我的FF扩展可以自动更新给用户,但我坚持最后一部分“托管更新清单”因为我正在使用Tomcat服务而我没有任何想法如何设置.htaccess(.h​​taccess文件在配置服务器方面与WEB-INF目录类似吗?)

到目前为止我做了什么,

创建密钥对:Public-Key和Private-Key

计算sha256:b3290c69a1 ......

创建update.rdf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<r:RDF xmlns:r="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
        xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2004/em-rdf#">

            <id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</id>
            <minVersion>3.5</minVersion>
            <maxVersion>5.0.*</maxVersion>
            <updateLink>http://localhost:8080/myextension/pluginupdate/myextension.xpi</updateLink>
            <updateHash>
                sha256:b3290c69a1...
            </updateHash>
            </r:Description>
        </targetApplication>
    </r:Description>
    </r:li>
    </r:Seq>
    </updates>
</r:Description>

</r:RDF>

使用密钥

签署update.rdf

将singed update.rdf和myextension.xpi放在pluginupdate目录下,其中pluginupdate与WEB-INF位于同一级别。

我的install.rdf

<?xml version="1.0"?>

当我重新启动FF浏览器时,没有任何反应。 当我使用带有选项-console

的命令行启动FF浏览器时
*** LOG addons.xpi: startup
*** LOG addons.xpi: checkForChanges
*** LOG addons.xpi: No changes found
*** LOG addons.xpi: Opening database

那么,我如何托管和配置Tomcat来托管更新清单?感谢

嗨弗拉迪米尔,

在web.xml中的MIME类型中定义之后,还会使用-console选项提供更多信息。

我删除了扩展并重新安装,日志是

*** LOG addons.xpi: No changes found
*** LOG addons.xpi: Opening database

LOG addons.repository: Requesting https://services.addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/api/1.5/search/guid:myextension%40mozilla.myextension.org?src=firefox&appOS=Linux&appVersion=5.0&tMain=23&tFirstPaint=1641&tSessionRestored=1042

我们可以看到Update Manager(?)正在https://services.addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/api/1.5/search/guid:myextension%40mozilla.myextension向存储库发出请求。 ?有机SRC = Firefox和安培; appOS = Linux和安培; appVersion = 5.0&安培; tMain = 23&安​​培; tFirstPaint = 1641&安培; tSessionRestored = 1042

此外,在启动后

*** LOG addons.xpi: Found updated manifest for myextension@mozilla.myextension.org in app-profile
*** LOG addons.xpi: Processing install of myextension@mozilla.myextension.org in app-profile

这是否意味着找到了更新。但我没有看到浏览器上的通知告诉我“有一个新版本的myextension,更新?”。

我错过了什么吗?

答案 0 :(得分:3)

.htaccess文件的要点只是确保服务器知道MIME类型。您似乎可以通过更改conf / web.xml文件来为Tomcat执行此操作:

<mime-mapping>
  <extension>xpi</extension>
  <mime-type>application/x-xpinstall</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
  <extension>rdf</extension>
  <mime-type>application/rdf+xml</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

我查看了你的update.rdf和install.rdf文件,我没有看到任何明显的问题 - 它应该可以工作。您可能希望转到about:config并启用extensions.logging.enabled首选项,但这会确保将其他信息发送到错误控制台(按Ctrl-Shift-J打开或使用{{1}在命令行上。)
