Firefox extension observing response

问题

I am trying using code

// This is an active module of the goelvivek (8) Add-on
exports.main = function() {
  var httpRequestObserver =  
  {  
    observe: function(subject, topic, data)   
    { 
      if (topic == "http-on-examine-response") {  
        if(console)
          console.log(data);
      }  
    }  
  }; 
  var {Cc, Ci, Cr} = require("chrome");
  var observer = require("observer-service");   
  observerService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/observer-service;1"].  
    getService(Components.interfaces.nsIObserverService);  
    observerService.addObserver(httpRequestObserver, "http-on-examine-response", false);
};

but line console.log(data); is not printing any thing in console log. why ?

回答1:

In addition to the issue noted by Nickolay, an observer needs to implement a QueryInterface() function (typically by means of XPCOMUtils.generateQI()). Here is how one would do it with the Add-on SDK:

var {Cc, Ci, Cr, Cu} = require("chrome");
var {XPCOMUtils} = Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm");
var httpRequestObserver =
{
  QueryInterface: XPCOMUtils.generateQI([Ci.nsIObserver, Ci.nsISupportsWeakReference]),
  ...
};

However, since you already require observer-service package, it would be easier to use it:

var observer = require("observer-service");
observer.add("http-on-examine-response", onHttpRequest);

function onHttpRequest(subject, data)
{
  ...
}

The downside of this approach is that observer-service is an internal package and its API might change in future Add-on SDK versions.

Is it the real snippet? You should see an error about Components being undefined in the Error Console. Either get it from require('chrome') or use the object from require("observer-service").
