[GTK] Add WEBKIT_LOAD_ERROR status

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Xan Lopez]

Page loads can fail to be completed and reach WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED status (user cancels the load, non-existent URI, etc). At the moment the only way to figure out this is to connect to both notify::load-status and WebKitWebView::load-error, which is far from ideal IMHO. This patch adds a new load-status enum, WEBKIT_LOAD_ERROR, which indicates that some error happened and that the load was stopped. In this way it's still possible to handle the whole flow of the load by only connecting to a single signal.

Tests included.

I like the idea. You have my half r+. I'll take this into consideration when re-submitting sub-resource load tracking.

Does this only appply to committed load errors?

Not really, when a URL does not exist we'll go from provisional to error directly. Why?

BTW, I'm thinking that WEBKIT_LOAD_FAIL might be a better name than WEBKIT_LOAD_ERROR, since the dispatch is called didFailLoad. Opinions? :)

On the other hand the existing signal is called 'load-error', hmmm... Naming things sucks.

I prefer LOAD_FAIL.

Can we break API? Either way, r=me.

Landed in r48719 renaming the status to LOAD_FAILED as discussed on IRC.
