epiphany + gwget not working... possible workaround not working too

hi guys!


Usually I download files of considerable size, and for this I use gwget, starting it manually and adding the download also manually... despite also I use epiphany and I have the gwget extension activated... but there is no way epiphany communicate with gwget...

googling, I found a workaround used in debian... they found the extension was not working because a mistake in the dbus file service:

/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.gwget.service contains:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.gnome.gwget
Exec=/usr/bin/gwget

but according to the source file epi-gwget-extension.c that contains:

remote_object = dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name (connection,
                        "org.gnome.gwget.ApplicationService",
                        "/org/gnome/gwget/Gwget",
                        "org.gnome.gwget.Application");

the dbus service should contain, for example:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.gnome.gwget.ApplicationService
Exec=/usr/bin/gwget

I did this, restarted dbus (the whole system, actually...) but nothing changed...

any of you can help me? what i'm missing?

thank you for your time

Are you sure the extension(or any extension) is supposed to work with the webkit-based epiphany?

well... not 100% sure, but yes, it's supposed to work, since the extension is fixed for being detected by epiphany 2.28, and Vincent Untz commited a patch specific for this issue with webkit two months before the release of the las version of gwget : http://mail.gnome.org/archives/svn-comm … 04337.html

The patch has nothing to do with webkit. I suggest you contact the developers. You can probably catch them on irc.
