Description Gustavo Noronha (kov) 2008-04-18 18:20:41 PDT
Coming from http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/HackingGtk I decided to have this as a bug report, to help track what needs to be done and to have a place to discuss issues.

Currently WebKitNetworkRequest only provides a simple GObject which is able to contain a URI string; The current implementation does not use a property, only a simple gchar* in the instance struct.

Since I intend to implement the rest of the API, exposing all of the properties currently present in ResourceRequest, and documenting everything with gtk-doc, I would like clarifications on if the properties in the C++ class should be mapped using proper GObject properties (what I would guess), or simple struct members, like uri is implemented today.

new draft

I've moved a bit forward (attended FISL and had to catch up on work, so not a lot to show =D). I wrote some code for GtkLauncher that makes use of the WebKitNetworkRequest API, to understand it better and to serve as a test platform. I would be very grateful for comments on the directions I'm taking.

I'll start working on documenting what I have already written, and then finish implementing what is left.

almost complete implementation of a gobject exposing ResourceRequest

I think the patch is now mostly complete, if the purpose is exposing information from ResourceRequest only. The area that does need improvement is provind a nicely parsed form_data thingy instead of only providing a gchar* for the body.

The dialog in GtkLauncher exercises all of the getter methods, and serves as a nice way of testing/debugging the code.

I am still wondering whether most of those should not be real properties, though, and if the changes to the WebKitNetworkRequest object are to be propagated to the original ResourceRequest object or not.

gtk-doc-style documentation is still missing, as well, but I will work on it tomorrow.

Updated implementation, with some more goodies

Messing around with the code answered some of my doubts. By looking at FrameLoaderClientGtk's needs, and webkitwebframe.cpp I understand that the original ResourceRequest which I'm mapping needs to be carried with WebKitNetworkRequest, and updated with the values. Currently I'm carrying a copy, though, and I update the original where it needs to be updated, such as in the dispatchWillSendRequest delegate.

Some rough edges still need thought and work; a more memory efficient way of handling the internal hash table which contains the headers, only creating it when really needed, for instance.

Also, we still have no implementation for ResourceResponse as WebKitNetworkResponse, so the new signal I created for webkitwebview, request-started is missing the redirectResponse argument it should have. I will write a placeholder to fix this, or perhaps even implemente WebKitNetworkResponse completely for this patch to land, if you prefer it that way.

Sounds about right?

Comment 7 Wouter Bolsterlee 2008-07-17 14:13:37 PDT
I haven't looked at the patch, so perhaps I'm preaching to the choir here... but having object structs directly accessible is considered a very bad thing (also note the GTK+ 3.0 discussion!). Accessor methods are much more versatile.
Comment 8 Wouter Bolsterlee 2008-07-17 14:30:02 PDT

Yeah, one of the main goals I tried to keep in mind while writing that was to only make public what should be public. I am not even sure accessor functions would be required, since we have g_object_[gs]et, but since the other parts of the public API have them, I decided to follow.

I would omit request-redirected/request-started for now and add it when we have both this patch and the one to clean the frame loader signals, see bug #17066.
Moreover, having two signals means that people will forget to connect to both, a single signal is better IMHO. Suggestions for the name?. Another problem is that we don't pass the object indentified by the identifier argument.

Initialisation should be on the same line as declaration.

You should always use the WebKit style for things that are not exposed in the public API.

Why are you keeping in WebKitNetworkRequestPrivate both the ResourceRequest and the values (like cache_policy) that can be easily extracted from it? Maybe it makes sense for strings to avoid conversions and duplications but not for just integers.

This could just be something like:

static WebKitReqCachePolicy kit(ResourceRequestCachePolicy cachePolicy)
{
    return (WebKitReqCachePolicy)cachePolicy;
}

Then add a comment to the public header to keep the enums in sync.

>+void webkit_network_request_set_cache_policy(WebKitNetworkRequest* request, const WebKitReqCachePolicy cache_policy)
>+{

Ditto, just define a core() function that casts the enum.

Maybe it's better to lazily initialise the hash table only when needed.

Why is this function public? Does it make sense to use it in an application? I cannot think to any use case so maybe we could think about deprecating it.

What do you mean with "already encoded URI"?


>+const GHashTable* webkit_network_request_get_http_headers(WebKitNetworkRequest* request)

The documentation is missing.
Maybe it could be useful to be able to keep the hash table somewhere after calling _ref, but in this case the return value should not be const and maybe people would think that they can overwrite values directly on the hash table. What do you think?


>+/**
>+ * WebKitReqCachePolicy:
>+ * @WEBKIT_REQ_CACHE_POLICY_NONE: invalid, marker policy
>[...]
>+ */
>+typedef enum
>+{
>+  WEBKIT_REQ_CACHE_POLICY_NONE,

I don't think we need it.


Do we need all the getters and setters for headers? Like webkit_network_request_[gs]et_http_user_agent().


Probably the various things for which we have getters and setters (excluding the hash table for headers and probably also the body as it needs also the length to be usable) should also be properties.

I second that, It makes sense to use members directly, maybe even for strings.

Think of "webkit_web_frame_load_request" here. In that combinaison it seems like a very powerful interface to me.

> What do you mean with "already encoded URI"?

Scratch "already encoded". If it's an URI, it must be encoded, everything else is ambiguous. :)

I think use cases that would require keeping the headers are few enough and should be rare enough that it is better to keep the const nature of the hash table instead of making this API a bit confusing. It's a small numbers of headers to copy if needed, too.

Another go. I removed the two signals as requested, I agree it's best to discuss this with the big picture in mind. As for the name of a single, unified signal. What about something like navigation-started, since it is caused by a navigation-requested, AFAIK?

Why a copy is then the request is copied again to priv->request?

You don't need the cast from double to gdouble.

Why do you have a separate webkit_network_request_private_get_http_headers?

Maybe the example would be clearer if you use a real header, like Accept-Language.

My bad.

> Why do you have a separate webkit_network_request_private_get_http_headers?

I can't use get_http_headers directly because of the const qualifier. And I still need a function so that I can lazily fill the hash table.

NetworkResponse doesn't have properties, et al yet, and I plan to finish its implementation after NetworkRequest is done. I created a skeleton just because I needed a class to provide the signal with.

Since we plan to actually expose libSoup API now, would it make sense to expose a SoupMessage here? It looks like WebKitNetworkRequest to some extend reflects what a 'message' does. While I doubt that either one can replace the other, a 'request' might for instance contain a 'message', for things like the method, uri, body and headers. But that's only an idea, it might be less good an idea in practise.

Another point is caching, we only have memory caching. It might be good to figure out what the plan is, ie. if libSoup is going to feature caching, or if we rely on a proxy server to do that, or if WebKit itself should take care of it. And maybe refrain from introducing an option unless we know what it is going to affect.

I like the idea. Though I believe that we actually need to have the Message become a member of ResourceRequest (or ResourceHandle?) itself, and not be created in ResourceHandle::startHttp. We also need to figure out how to deal with non-HTTP stuff; should we have some kind of handling for that in ResourceRequest and WebKitNetworkRequest?

This could be implemented in a way that the SoupMessage will only be instantiated when a .soupMessage() accessor method is called in ResourceRequest, and the good thing is this allows our users to access the SoupMessage (or GFile, in case of a local request, which will probably force us to decide on this earlier?) which will be used by the Soup backend, at willSendRequest already.

Minimal functionality addition patch

I rewrote my patch so that only the minimal functionality needed to get HTTP information correctly fed back into WebKit when client code passes along a WebKitNetworkRequest it received in a signal. This allows us to make it possible for browsers such as Epihany and Midori to open links in new tabs and still get Referer, for instance, correctly sent. Internal functionality (in WebkitWebFrame) is also improved.

See comments bellow http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120341#c12 for more reasoning. I provide this patch now so that we can get this working sooner rather than later, and no public API is touched, so we can discuss the merits of my proposed API later.

proof of concept, so that we can discuss exposing SoupMessage

This isn't ready for reviewing yet, so I'm not bothering adding a ChangeLog entry, and am adding GtkLauncher code to test. We need to figure out how to handle modifications of SoupMessage to apply to the actual request, and document them. It seems like modifying headers of the SoupMessage in the navigation-policy-decision-requested callback doesn't affect the actual request, for instance (even if I force an update of ResourceRequest from the SoupMessage).

Hm.. I would think it's intuitive to modify the message and expect changes to take effect as if one had sent the message outside of WebKit. So if we can arrange that somehow that'd be great, not sure if there is any reason against that from WebCore.

And just so it's not forgotten, an according property should be nice.

I dislike the fact that the user will have to call webkit_network_request_refresh(), but it seems to be necessary right now, because soup doesn't provide means to know when headers got changed in any way.

I forgot to update the ChangeLog after updating the patch, so some functions/classes that were edited are missing the auto-generated list. I have it up-to-date on my git branch, though, and will commit the correct one, if the patch is r+'ed.

I like how the patch works, keeping the request instead of only the URI is clearly much better.

Does libsoup actually require this? In that case *please* file a bug against libsoup to fix the include files. =)

I think this is a bit vague. Maybe we want to reword it slightly to stress that the message can always be read but only if documented as such do we support modifications. I think if we decide to speak about supported use cases it gives the API user an idea of relibability, whereas "supposed to work" gives the impression that it may work and break in any revision:

Always allowing to at least read out any information is already powerful, so if that speeds up review, we can discuss documentation of the supported cases where modifications are allowed as a follow up.

Leaking soupURI (and * is wrong).

Stupid question: is it OK to free the message in doUpdate the way you do it? Shouldn't it go in a destructor or something similar?

(And as said only including <libsoup/soup.h> works)

And I guess now it's too late to ask about that conversation we had about using directly the soup objects/API without any wrappers like the other ports do?

Right. I will reword this a bit. Just for completeness, like I said in our IRC conversation, modification of the soup message will probably only be supported by the yet-to-be-implemented signal that is emitted when FrameLoaderClient's willSendRequest delegate is called.

It looks OK to me. The thing is the request may have been "nullified", but not destroyed, and that code block handles this case.

Right, thanks!

We are already using WebKitNetworkRequest objects all over the code. It may be a good thing to have it, anyway, if we need to extend the functionality of the object to do something that would not fit in libsoup. Just building to check if the fixed up patches are OK to upload, thanks for the comments!

Mac actually supports this in their API. For example the WebDataSource::resource method has the following doc:

"The URL returned may be different from the original request. A WebView’s resource load delegate may modify requests by implementing webView:resource:willSendRequest:redirectResponse:fromDataSource:"

Should this be core(priv->networkRequest)? For objects that wrap WebCore objects, we use core/kit to get the respective objects.

Can we use CString here? WebKitWebHistoryItem uses CStrings to make memory management easier.

Yep. My original patch also implemented willSendRequest as a signal, but we decided to remove it from this patch, and add it later, or through the frameloaders rework.

I had written that change, but went back on it because there would be no obvious way of implementing a matching kit(). I have done it for the patch I'm about to post, though. We can think of a good way of implemementing kit() afterwards.

After writing half the patch, I decided using CString wouldn't make the code cleaner at all, in my opinion, so I would prefer not changing the way it looks like right now, regarding this, is that OK with you?

We'll be losing what's already in the header fields if we clear this. Is there a reason why this should be cleared?

Can't we just use get_message here to make the name not depend on the library we're using? The return type already specify that it's a SoupMessage so it's just making it redundant by adding _soup_ to the function name.

Can you expound or rephrase this? I don't quite understand what the doc mean here in terms of modifying the SoupMessage.

Patch is fine nevertheless. Another gtk+ reviewer needs to ACK on the API too.

This function assumes that the ResourceRequest information is outdated and needs to be updated from the SoupMessage. There should be no case in which both are 'dirty', so clearing what is in the ResourceRequest object is the right way to go here. Having said that, no other port does it, it seems, so it may not be needed, and I'm OK with removing this call.

We don't do anything with those right now, and I'm not sure how this could be implemented. I'd prefer handling this in a later patch, if need be.

That's mostly me being careful for this first patch. Body data handling is kinda complex in our port, possibly involving mmaping files and stuff, I preferred leaving it where it is. I remember having a specific problem, but it's gone from my mind right now.

Sounds good to me. I have no strong feelings regarding this.

This is because changes to the ResourceRequest are only supported in willSendRequest. You can fetch the SoupMessage while handling stuff such as navigation-policy-decision-requested, but it's not guaranteed that your changes will do anything. So we would document, in the signal mapping willSendRequest, that you can edit the message there.

As kov suggested, it would be better to grab a SoupMessage ref from ResourceRequest rather than carrying a ResourceRequest around.

Would be nice if we can initialize ResourceRequestBast as ResourceRequestBase(KURL(), UseProtocolCachePolicy)

We need to null-check m_soupMessage here just in case updatePlatformRequest hasn't been called.

no need to create uri. Just put the call inside fromUTF8().

Can we add a FIXME for the cookies stuff to be updated once we figure out how to do that? Thanks.

I think we can avoid initializing a soupURI here by moving soup_uri_new in the call to soup_message_set_uri().

I think we can lose the else block since here since we only need to make sure we have a m_soupMessage before doing anything.

handlded -> handled. Maybe a good idea to put the rationale here why we're doing it in startHttp().

Looking good. I'm going to r- this for now until the trivial issues above are addressed.

Why? The parameter-less variant is there for this specific use case (creating a ResourceRequest from the platform network object), so I think it is the appropriate one.

Or has returned without being able to create the message for some reason.

I think we need. fromUTF8 will copy the string, so we need to free the original somehow. Perhaps we can use GOwnPtr.

Same problem as with the uri string.

Right!

One more try. Notice that most of the improved life cycle checks and safe guards are needed because the SoupMessage is not limited to being used inside ResourceHandle. We had an implicit assumption, for instance, that the message would be gone after finishedCallback, and that may not be true now.

This time with a simple unit test. It needs to be enhanced to use something such as a SoupServer.  Using something that is not an HTTP server is no good, since that is exactly what we want to try out.

Please fix the spacing here.

Please move this after the include so it's more visible.

Please convert this to use PassOwnPtr instead of auto_ptr.

should these be in updatePlatformRequest instead of the constructor?

Are we being too aggressive here? Is the call in ResourceRequest's destructor not enough?

ASSERT(soupURI) should be enough.

Looks good.

No, these should be set in the constructor (and setters, wherever it makes sense). updatePlatformRequest, and updateResourceRequest checks for them to figure out if it should do anything at all, so setting them there is wrong.

I believe so. I checked other ports code, and they have no code dealing with this code. I can't see this case happening, from my reading ot the code, too. I'll try the code with removing this block of code for a bit to see if I spot any crashes.

So r=you, with PassOwnPtr, the style fixes, my clarification on the member variables initialization, the isNull() code removed, and this change? ;) Let me upload the updated patch.

Landed as r44263; I had to go back on the auto_ptr->PassOwnPtr conversion, though, since the adopt method cannot take a PassOwnPtr, and I didn't think this patch should also change that, hope that is OK.

Clearing r+ flag so it won't appear in the commit queue.
