Re: LIRC Add-On for Firefox?

[Corey T. <joh...@ya...>]

If I'm not mistaken, Irxevent is only usable on Unix/Linux platforms running 
X11.. Ideally this add-on would eventually be offered on Firefox/Windows as well 
with minimal modifications..

I've done a little more research and it seems like the simplest way to implement 
this would be to write some kind of JavaScript API that interfaces with the 
LIRCD Unix domain socket (/var/run/lirc/lircd)..

If Firefox has an Add-On/Extension API that can open and read data from a Unix 
domain socket, then implementing a LIRC browser extension on top of that should 
be relatively trivial..

Does anyone know if Mozilla offers an XPCOM or other API for accessing a Unix 
domain socket?

Ideally the LIRCD implementation on Windows offers some interface that is 
analogous to domain sockets on Unix..
