[Gnash-commit] [bug #42395] No respons from panopticlick site when gnash is activated

[Nutchanon Wetchasit]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #42395 (project gnash):

As far as I know, EFF Panopticlick uses Flash (if available) to detect
installed fonts, and requires JavaScript calling into Flash to retrieve
font list as a long comma-separated string.

Gnash has a problem with JavaScript calling Flash function,
and it caused the test to fail silently due to `null` return value.

See bug #37223 (JavaScript-to-Flash ExternalInterface problem) for details.

Flash file URL (Flash 7): https://panopticlick.eff.org/resources/fonts2.swf
Panopticlick test script:
https://panopticlick.eff.org/resources/fetch_whorls.js
