A Firefox add-on to browse the Internet of Things

How to integrate the Copper sources into Firefox:

  1. Get the sources from Github: clone git://github.com/mkovatsc/Copper.git
  2. Add a text file named copper@vs.inf.ethz.ch to your extension directory of your profile:
  • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions\
  • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/extensions/
  • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/extensions/
  1. Write the path to the Copper sources (i.e., the directory that contains install.rdf and chrome.manifest) with (back)slash at the end to the file (e.g., D:\Projects\Git\Copper\).
  2. Restart Firefox.
  3. Optionally use about:config with the filter "copper" to clean up old configurations.

Copper should show up in the add-ons list. You can now enter CoAP URIs (e.g., coap://vs0.inf.ethz.ch/) into the address bar and will have a user interface to interact with the CoAP resources on a server. The detailed log output is available through the rectangular button on the top right, next to the preferences button.
