[webkit-help] Buffer problem with my WebKit/NPAPI patch?

[Garth Dahlstrom]

As I work towards adding Java applet support (#33044) to webkit through implementing the missing NPAPI hooks for passing proxy and cookie values (#34539)... 

I've hit a bit of a bump in the road.    It looks like some corruption is happening in the NPAPI "get value" method for cookies (NPN_GetValueForURL).

This is not seen in the debug statements of either implementation from the Qt app (this patch provides to functionally identical implementations in Qt and pure WebKit) but is observed as occasional extra junk being appended to the end of the Java cookies in the debug console, sometimes it indicates a cookie value is returned when there is no value supposed to be returned.   

Hosting test browser app:
> [2960] npapi.cpp - NPN_GetValueForURL::  Proxy url: http://www.javatester.org:80/
> [2960] npapi.cpp - NPN_GetValueForURL::Proxy fetching Proxy from Qt

I suspect the problem is something to do with the statements in the IF block at line 36 of the attached patch, however I'm unable to figure out what's happening (I've tried to implement it 2 ways, results are the same)...   

Not very good at low level C/C++, which is why I use Qt for native compiled apps...  Maybe I'm doing something obviously wrong (i.e. does the length pointer thing look okay)?

If someone could take a look at it and tell me if they spot anything I'd be grateful.

Cheers,
