EVE Ingame Webbrowser
From EVEDev
The EVE Online Client has an included web browser (abbr. IGB) which has limited support for the HTML language and CSS, but also some special features to display game content. The IGB will not display all pages. You will still need to design special pages for it but it is improved in many ways.
Features of the IGB:
- various fonts and font attributes
- colors (even transparency)
- divs and tables
- all kind of background images and colors
- png, gif, jpeg, tiff, bmp images
- forms
- CSS1/2 (very pure pseudo class support)
- various special EVE client commands
The IGB does not and will never support:
- JavaScript/Java
- Flash
- downloading of files

[edit] Security Note
If you make a website which runs authorization and authentication based on the headers that the IGB sends you (EVE_TRUSTED and EVE_CHARID for example), be aware that someone can easily forge this headers. If someone is using other applications than the IGB in which he can set the headers he's sending, you'll see no difference to a real IGB request. All requests (from the IGB) will have its source at the client computer of the user, the request take the same way as when you're using a normal web browser, no CCP proxies or other mechanisms are used.
