How to do a File/Save Page As
shi...@gmail.com
specific directory. I mostly have it working by using the following
code snippet (which I found in another extension):
var filename = "path to non-existent file";
var file =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
file.initWithPath(filename);
// initialize the downloader
var persist =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/embedding/browser/nsWebBrowserPersist;1"].
createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIWebBrowserPersist);
var tmpIWBP = Components.interfaces.nsIWebBrowserPersist;
persist.persistFlags = tmpIWBP.PERSIST_FLAGS_FROM_CACHE |
tmpIWBP.PERSIST_FLAGS_REPLACE_EXISTING_FILES
|
tmpIWBP.PERSIST_FLAGS_NO_BASE_TAG_MODIFICATIONS |
tmpIWBP.PERSIST_FLAGS_DONT_FIXUP_LINKS |
tmpIWBP.PERSIST_FLAGS_DONT_CHANGE_FILENAMES
|
tmpIWBP.PERSIST_FLAGS_NO_CONVERSION;
var encode = tmpIWBP.ENCODE_FLAGS_RAW;
persist.saveDocument(aDoc, file, null, null, encode, 0);
This *mostly* works. I do get a file, but the actual contents is
different from File/Save Page As (Web Page, HTML only). For instance,
this code ends up using " rather than ' for attributes and javascript.
Also I see <tbody> tags rather than <body>.
I would really like to duplicate the same file format is File/Save Page
As. Do I just need to use different pesistFlags? Maybe access the
content directly, create a text file, and drop the content in? If so,
any pointers on how to grab that content and create a text file?
Thanks!
