synthesizeRedirectResponseIfNecessary uses ResourceRequest class, which is not thread safe. The Foundation version of this function doesn't do that, so it's safe to call on a secondary thread.

Good catch though, perhaps we can refactor the code to make this fix work.

Maybe something like this would work? We save the scheme from the request and do a quick comparison and early return if they match.

I'm not sure if we need to follow the Mac pattern with secondary threads at all - it looks like CFURLConnection may have all the async delegates we could wish for.

If that's feasible, that should be much better, and would make this patch unnecessary.

Shouldn't this code be removed from synthesizeRedirectResponseIfNecessary() now?

Would also be good to move a comment about HSTS here.

Yes, I can remove the code from synthesizeRedirectResponseIfNecessary() and I'll addd a comment.

I'll take a look at this next.

SynchronousResourceHandleCFURLConnectionDelegate::willSendRequest() calls synthesizeRedirectResponseIfNecessary() as well so I can't remove the code. I'll leave it in for now.
