Bug 12106 – Changed URL from WebResourceLoadDelegate's webView:resource:willSendRequest:... is ignored

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Page Loading

[Dan Wood]

If you have a WebResourceLoadDelegate that defines webView:resource:willSendRequest:redirectResponse:fromDataSource: to return a new NSURLRequest, that new URL request is ignored, and the original URL is used.

I believe that I have traced this to this method.

When this is called, newRequest is <NSMutableURLRequest applewebdata://85A64C16-16E4-4262-909B-109A07DB268C/_Media/placeholder_large.jpeg>

My delegate code, called downstream from ResourceLoader::willSendRequest, sets clientRequest to <NSURLRequest media:/11D16F2645B64AB190E6/placeholder_large.jpeg>

It's not clear to me whether the "if" branch should be taken and there is a bug there, or if there is a bug in the test logic, or if there is a bug in that oldURL is set to nil, messing up the test.

NSURLRequest *SubresourceLoader::willSendRequest(NSURLRequest *newRequest, NSURLResponse *redirectResponse)
{
    NSURL *oldURL = [request() URL];   // NOTE: THIS RETURNS NIL -- I DON'T KNOW WHY
    NSURLRequest *clientRequest = ResourceLoader::willSendRequest(newRequest, redirectResponse);
    if (clientRequest && oldURL != [clientRequest URL] && ![oldURL isEqual:[clientRequest URL]]) {
        ResourceRequest request = newRequest;
        if (m_client)
            m_client->willSendRequest(this, request, redirectResponse);
        
        return request.nsURLRequest();
    }
    
    return clientRequest;
}

Patch 1.
Passes layout tests, but no layout test added, as to test this, you need to be able to create a WebResourceLoadDelegate.

The problem was that m_request isn't set until the end of ResourceLoader::willSendRequest(), and so oldURL was always empty. But even if we replace oldURL with m_originalURL (which is set at the start of ResourceLoader::load()), the newRequest is only updated if the new and old URLs are the same. This patch fixes both problems so that WebResourceLoadDelegates can now change URLs.

Looks good. Maybe we should put a WebResourceLoadDelegate into DumpRenderTree so we can test this.
