StandardFileStream - Browser Plugin Compatibility

patrick.rein
Hi everyone,

Fabio recently found some primitive which got us curious: StandardFileStream>>#primBrowserReady. After some investigation it turns out that there are a number of primitives, methods, and classes (e.g. PluginHTTPDownloadRequest) related to running Squeak as a Browser Plugin. Is this currently supported? If not I would suggest dropping support by removing the correpsonding code.

Bests,
Patrick

I'd say it's time to remove that code, since browsers have pretty much dropped support for plugins.
