track which history items are from page load failures

It's useful to distinguish history items for failures such as "domain not found" from history items that represent successful navigation and loading of a website.

Should headers #includes be sorted alphabetically or in ASCII order? I thought the latter.

It seems a little dangerous that the presence of the lastVisitWasFailure key in the dictionary representation always means "true".

I could change the rule to be that it has to be exactly "boolean true". Or that it can be anything except "boolean false". Or that any numeric thing that's non-zero is counted as true.

Do you have a preference?

I used the Xcode sort, which I thought was the same as the command line sort. I'll redo it. The ASCII order you get from the sort tool is our standard I think.

This only worked for back/forward history, not global history. Oops!

Can you assert that the url parameter to updateGlobalHistory is equal to the documentLoader's urlForHistory()?

I think you can get rid of cocoaURL and pass url directly.

I'd much rather remove the url parameter altogether. In a future patch. You think that's OK?

I'll try it and land it that way if it compiles.
