HP Secure Web Browser
for OpenVMS Alpha (based on Mozilla)
Plugins
The HP Secure Web Browser for OpenVMS supports the Java Plug-in on OpenVMS Alpha and I64.
The following plug-ins are available for OpenVMS Alpha, but are not supported by HP.
Flash plug-in
Mozplugger plug-in
XPDF Plug-in
Java Plugin
The Java Plug-in is distributed with the HP Java™ Standard Edition, Development Kit (JDK) for
OpenVMS Alpha and I64.
To use the Java Plug-in, follow the instructions in the Secure Web Browser Installation Guide and
Release Notes:
•
•

Java Plug-in instructions for OpenVMS Alpha (JDK v 1.3.1-1 or higher is required)
Java Plug-in instructions for OpenVMS I64 (JDK v 1.4.2-3 or higher is required)

Flash Plugin
The Flash plug-in for OpenVMS is provided by Mark Berryman, who ported Olivier Debon's open source
flash player. The Flash plug-in for OpenVMS currently supports most of Flash 4 but does not support the
actionscript features of Flash 5. Support for sound is underway.
Download the Flash plug-in from ftp://mvb.saic.com/extra/libflashplugin.so.
Copy the LIBFLASHPLUGIN.SO file into SYS$COMMON:[CSWB.PLUGINS] (or into the [.PLUGINS]
directory of the location where you installed the Secure Web Browser) and restart your browser.
Feedback is welcome; please send mail to Mark.Berryman@Mvb.Saic.com.
Mozplugger Plug-in
The Mozplugger plug-in for OpenVMS is provided by Mark Berryman. This is a port of a program, written
for Linux, that allows standalone programs to be used as a plug-in for Mozilla and the Secure Web
Browser.
For example, the default config uses XPDF to display PDF files. Mozplugger will activate XPDF and then
place it in the browser window.
To download the Mozplugger plug-in, see http://mvb.saic.com/freeware/extra/mozplugger.html.

MPG123 (also available from Mark Berryman at ftp://mvb.saic.com/submissions/mpg123) and Timidity
can both be used with Mozplugger to provide support for viewing web pages with sound.
Feedback is welcome; please send mail to Mark.Berryman@Mvb.Saic.com.
XPDF Plug-in
XPDF is a freeware PDF viewer that works with the Secure Web Browser for OpenVMS. Download the
XPDF viewer from http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/.
The latest version of the XPDF viewer is currently available from the XPDF Version 3.00pl3 for OpenVMS
Alpha page. You must download and unzip several files from this page into one directory (for example
[KITS.XPDF].)
Note: After you download and unzip XPDF-V0300.SFX_AXPEXE, the PCSI file is located in the
[.COLDWELL.PACKAGES] subdirectory. Rename the PCSI file to the directory containing the other PCSI
files before you enter the PRODUCT INSTALL XPDF command.
For example:

$ SET DEFAULT DKA100:[KITS.XPDF]
$ RUN XPDF-V0300.SFX_AXPEXE
$ RENAME [.COLDWELL.PACKAGES]FREEWARE-AXPVMS-XPDF-V0300-3-1.PCSI []
