Skins not working (jar protocol behavior changed)

[minj]

Original issue 2 created by larsts on 2008-04-06T17:02:21.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Install skin
2. Apply/choose skin

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see skin applied, no change in appearance though.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Foxtrick 0.3.64, FF 2.0.0.13, Windows XP.

Please provide any additional information below.
With FF 2.0.0.10 the behavior of the jar protocol was changed.
(http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2007/mfsa2007-37.html)
The jar protocol would only work for files with content-type
application/java-archive or application/x-jar in the header.

After this, Foxtrick is not able to access the skin zips using the jar
protocol. (At least not without deactivating the new jar behavior with the
FF network.jar.open-unsafe-types setting.)

Kolmis proposed changing the install procedure to extract the zip file
instead of just saving it, and accordingly make changes in how foxtrick
accesses the skin files.

A quick google search doesn't seem to give any easy ways of unzipping.
But I may very well have overlooked something.

A solution where the users manually has to extract the contents of the skin zip to
the correct directory is to me a preferable today's non-functioning (or with the
work-around; security compromising) solution.
Shouldn't be too much of a rewrite in the foxtrick code as far as I can see.

I think skins with a bindings.xml that accesses images through the jar protocol will
have to be rewritten either way.
