Access the Public Suffix list?

[brinchj]

Hi,

I'm looking for an API to access the public suffix list in Chrome.

Mozilla has the nsIEffectiveTLDService that provides:
getBaseDomainFromHost("www.google.com") => "google.com"

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIEffectiveTLDService

I'm looking for something similar in Chrome. Basicly, a function that
strips sub-domains out of the domain.

As far as I know, Chrome doesn't have such thing, so you would have to strip the subdomain manually, basically use string manipulation to remove all subdomains from "document.location.hostname". JavaScript has nice functions such as lastIndexOf, substring.

The problem here is, that there is no way to distinguish the domain
from the sub domain without the suffix list. It's a rather complicated
procedure:

Yea, we have the same tld names as mozilla, http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/net/base/effective_tld_names.dat?view=log

Perhaps we can do what mozilla has done "getBaseDomainFromHost", somewhere in our net project, the implementation seems straight forward:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/dns/src/nsEffectiveTLDService.cpp#171

Maybe we can include that in our source (or v8)

That would be great. As for now, my addon includes the full list in
javascript which contributes 80% of it's mass. It would be nice to
strip those 80% out.
