Serendipitously, I'm making this situation a lot easier in bug 1163254. The idea is that nsIPrincipal::origin will also serialize all of the security-sensitive differentiators (appId, inBrowserElement, etc), so you can just consult that if you need a canonical stringified representation of the origin. If you eventually need to convert it _back_ to an nsIPrincipal, you should probably use the nsISerializable stuff instead. It's a bit of a pain to use right now, though we could add a helper. bholley _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
