[webkit-dev] S60WebKit MIME type question

[Sam Critchley]

Hi Jack,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The Nokia Platform Services  
resources are great, but currently only available in WRT on their S60  
5th edition devices (5800 and N97). I think we're also going to look  
closely at the plug-in route as well - I wonder if there's a  
repository of standard plug-ins somewhere...

I found the following on S60 browser plug-ins:

http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/technologies/browser_plug-in_api.html

Unfortunately I think this pre-dates the WebKit browser, so I'm not  
sure it still applies....

I did find some documentation on Ecom plug-ins as well. I assume  
that's also available through S60WebKit as well. The main question is  
whether there's a repository of existing plug-ins somewhere (e.g. if  
there's a camera plug-in) or if you have to code your own.

Thanks,

Sam
