I need to make a synchronous call between a JavaScript XPCOM component and a COM component (native WIN32 process).
I know, options are:
1) Open up sockets and use TCP/IP
2) Have an NPAPI plugin, and load the plugin in the extensions XUL
3) Use Ctypes
Is there any other better way to implement this ?
There is also the possibility to have an executable in your extension and call it via
nsIProcess– but that’s one-way communication only. Not sure whether it is “better”, depends on what your problem with ctypes is.
