Bug 209484 – Add user agent quirk for Red Hat Bugzilla

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Michael Catanzaro]

Red Hat Bugzilla displays a warning page when performing searches unless we use a Firefox or Google user agent quirk. I've contacted the developers and they do not want to stop abusing the user agent header for this purpose, so let's do the usual.

I find it a bit odd that a particular instance of Bugzilla
needs a quirk, and others do not need it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

This file looks like it's cross-platform, and so do function names. But this function is only used by WebCore/platform/glib/UserAgentGLib.cpp.

[Michael Catanzaro]

We do occasionally have mostly cross-platform files that don't make sense on one particular platform. The quirks are separated from UserAgentGLib.cpp because they are intended to be entirely cross-platform. It's pretty likely that any websites causing problems for GLib ports will also be causing the same problems for Windows and PlayStation as well, for instance. I would recommend these quirks to any non-Apple port. If it would help avoid confusion, we could guard the whole thing with #if !PLATFORM(COCOA).

I see you haven't spent much time on Red Hat Bugzilla. :P It's really its own thing.
