Tracert extension feasible?
Daniel Kogan
I want to develop a "trace route" extension to Firefox. The main problem that I see is that XPCOM network library does supports only TCP/IP protocol, but not the necessary ICMP/IP.
Is that true? If it is, then – is there a way to somehow incorporate an external dll file that does “tracert” into the FF extension? (Obviously, I want that extension to be easily installable to any machine, by simply running the .xpi file)
Any ideas would be highly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello,
the following code is part of "SmartSync" - XPI .. this one calls a .dll .
},
runProcess: function(sPath, bWait, oArgs)
{
// ok.
var cmdLine = sPath;
// create an nsILocalFile for the executable
var file =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
file.initWithPath(cmdLine);
// create an nsIProcess
var process =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/process/util;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);
process.init(file);
// Run the process.
// If first param is true, calling process will be blocked until
called process terminates.
// Second and third params are used to pass command-line arguments to
the process.
//var args = ["argument1", "argument2"];
var args=new Array();
if(oArgs)
if(oArgs.push)
args=oArgs;
process.run(bWait, args, args.length);
},

process.run(bWait, args, args.length);
},

But on my "WINxp" machine tracert.exe is stored in "C:\WINDOWS\system32"
and runs from cmd-prompt:

So ... what's the point?

On my PC with WinXP, I use Cyberkit, a freeware application that does
ping, TraceRoute, WhoIs queries, and DNS lookups.
