    Javascript, signing, and Netscape 7

    I have a script used for automated file uploads (so people can create a
    list and walk away). It currently works by uploading files all at
    once. However, for security, tracking, and backups, I want to do it
    one by one.

    The way I would like to do it is to have a list of the files sent to
    the server, then the server sends a script back to start the transfer
    of the first file. When it's done, it should send back the script to
    start the next transfer, etc.

    When I do the complete list, it's done locally by a list generation
    program on their system, then by using
    netscape.securi ty.PrivilegeMan ager.enablePriv ilege("Universa lFileRead"),
    allows the list to automatically fill the <input type=file...> forms
    for each file.

    Everything I've read says that I can initialize enablePrivilege by
    using it with a signed script. And I have been able to get it to work
    with Netscape 4.x. However, it doesn't seem to want to work with
    Netscape 7.x.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as how to do it?

    BTW, I'm using the Unix version of signtool to create the signed
    scripts.

    Maybe
    The MDN Web Docs site provides information about Open Web technologies including HTML, CSS, and APIs for both Web sites and progressive web apps.

    helps to point out how signed scripts are used with Netscape 7
