Possible to show complete cipher name?

[ck-on]

Is it possible to decode the exact cipher in use from its 4 byte code?
Not sure if this information is accessible via an add-on.

ie. RC4 is not just RC4

there is
SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_RC4_128_SHA

If storing all the strings is too much, at least allow the two byte (four hex) code to be shown via the string variable option.

ie. $CIPHERID $CIPHERNAME

This is something that will likely be available when running CipherFox in Firefox 25 and up.

There have been (and will likely be more) changes to the API that CipherFox uses, including the exposure of the cipher suite as a string. This will of course then be exposed by CipherFox as a formatting variable. I hope to have the SSL/TLS version used be shown as well.

it kinda works in current aurora (26.0a2)

@indeyets, I haven't tried 26 yet, but in 25 at least, yes, it only kinda works (you get the full cipherSuite at the moment). There's still some talk about what will and won't be exposed in 25+, so I'm waiting for that to settle down somewhat.

$CIPHERSUITE now shows the full cipher suite.
