I agree with the need for this API, but I have a few suggestions and comments for the implementation:


> +/*!

> +    without being subjected to cross domain restrictions.
> +*/
> +void QWebSecurityOrigin::addLocalScheme(QString& scheme)

The QString argument should be a const QString &, not a QString &.


I think we may also need a function to remove a local scheme, i.e.

void removeLocalScheme(const QString &scheme);

as well as a function to return a list of all known local schemes:

QStringList QWebSecurityOrigin::localSchemes();

I forgot to add: We need an autotest for this feature. But it should be relatively easy to test I think.

It would be nice to have \since 4.6 tags in the documentation for the new functions.

If you have the time then it would also be nice to have a test that verifies that the local schemes actually work :)
