Bug 232653 – [GTK][WPE] Support getting and setting HTTP headers in custom URI scheme handlers

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

This is a continuation of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231880.

Currently, there is no way for the URI scheme handler to get or set the HTTP headers.
As the last patch has proven, the URI scheme handler should also be considered to be HTTP-compliant since `fetch` or `XHR` calls to the URI scheme handler contains full HTTP information.

Those functionalities are necessary, because:
* The same functionality already exists in the macOS version of the WebKit implementation (by manipulating `NSHTTPURLResponse` and/or `NSHTTPURLRequest`)
* Could eliminate the usage of a local server: this could ease the development of semi-native apps, especially in the embedded environment
* Existing workaround to get HTTP headers from URI scheme is unreliable (see the bug report below)
* There are already feature requests for this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231564

After this patch is landed, https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231564 will be completely fixed.

I'm confused by so many different bug reports for very similar issues.

Isn't this a duplicate of bug #203273?

And also of bug #231564, asides from that bug's reference to methods, which you already solved in bug #231880?

I would mark both this and bug #231564 as duplicates of bug #203273, and continue there, so we only have one bug report to deal with. Do you agree?

Sorry for the confusion. If this bug report is marked duplicate, what would happen to the patch review?
