GM_info does not expose resources corresponding URL

[Delgan]

Hello.

Quoting from the wiki article:

resources
An object whose keys are resource names and values are the corresponding URLs. (As of Greasemonkey 1.2.)

Unfortunately, GM.script.resources is an object like this:

{
    "resource_name_1": {
        "name": "resource_name_1",
        "mimetype": "application/javascript"
    },
    "resource_name_2": {
        "name": "resource_name_2",
        "mimetype": "image/x-icon"
    },
    ...
}

There is no way to get the original URL as some/path/resource.

Is this a bug? Is it possible to add the resources corresponding URL, please, as stated in the documentation?

I am using Firefox 40.0.3 and GreaseMonkey 3.4.1.

See http://wiki.greasespot.net/GM_getResourceURL (see also #1610)

Additionally please take a look at the commented lines:

// 'icon'
// 'requires'

(but see also #1644)

and next object properties:

userExcludes
userIncludes
userMatches

@janekptacijarabaci I'm conflicted for various reasons; if you'd like to see GM_infogain icon or resources data, please start a separate issue to discuss how it would work, thanks.

I don't think that documentation was ever right, even in version 1.2 (which it mentions) it was always how it is today ( https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/blob/1.2/modules/script.js#L459 ).

I'm going to update the documentation to match reality, and also add a "url" property, to move reality closer to the original documentation.

It was just for information. Rather for completeness. But thank you for the info.
