Trying to create a web based install using the Javascript code http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Installing_Extensions_and_Themes_From_Web_Pages I created a xpi file and the JavaScript. (The xpi file is just a zip file renamed). Trying to install into my firefox gave a -223 error (I think that was it).
so...trying to isolate the error....
When I upload as a .zip I can download via my web page, but when I either upload as a zip or upload as a zip and rename the file it will not download correctly.
Download the xpi file then rename as zip. Then opening gives a file corrupt error.
One possible suggestion ( http://support.on2.com/flixpublisher/faq/) was
You are using Microsoft IIS as your webserver, but the MIME type (also called "Content-type", or "Internet Media type") for XPI files has not been added to your IIS configuration.
To fix this problem, add the following to your IIS MIME types configuration:
Extension: .xpi
Mime Type: application/x-xpinstall
Brinkster added this to their IIS server and all is sweet now.
So, now onto adding some JavaScript to my extension :)
