I think recently in WebKit2 we have taken to avoiding using namespace WebCore. It sure looks like existing functions in this file already use WebCore::-qualified types.

Do we need a notImplemented() here?

For normal loading, -connection:willSendRequest:redirectResponse: needs to return "request" if the delegate agrees to take the redirect, nil if the request is canceled, and some other request if the delegate decides to modify it.

Is it a bug to return nil here, or do custom protocols work differently? If it's a bug, please add a test case that would have caught it.

Oh, ok. I was actually going to remove all the WebCore::s in another patch, so that's good to know!

I can add it.

Thanks for the review!

Custom protocols do work differently in this case. If I were to return the request here, then the connection would tell the embedder's NSURLProtocol to start loading the redirect request.

Then, when the Networking process receives WasRedirectedToRequest, it starts a redirect for the underlying connection, which triggers our normal willSendRequest() logic. If this results in a new request, then the Networking process's NSURLProtocol receives -startLoading, which starts a new connection in the UI process.

So returning nil here prevents duplicate loads from starting in the embedder's NSURLProtocol, and ensures that the request that is started is the one that WebKit has had a chance to modify.
