Chromium <keygen> handler patch

[Wan-Teh Chang]

In WebCore/platform/chromium/SSLKeyGeneratorChromium.cpp:

> // Returns the key sizes supported by the HTML keygen tag.  The first string
> // is displayed as the default key size in the keygen menu.
>-Vector<String> supportedKeySizes()
>+void getSupportedKeySizes(Vector<String>& sizes)
> {
>-    Vector<String> sizes(2);
>+    sizes.resize(2);
>     sizes[0] = keygenMenuHighGradeKeySize();
>     sizes[1] = keygenMenuMediumGradeKeySize();
>-    return sizes;
> }

Darin, please make sure we can set the size of a Vector
using the resize() method like this.  Thanks.

This comment doesn't seem to tell me much more than what the function
name already says.

It is probably not necessary to describe the keygen tag here.

The last sentence seems to suggest that the challenge string is a
returned value, but it appears to be a const reference type, so that
means that it must be an input value instead of a returned value.

since the ChromiumBridge method is just a 1-1 pass through, it would be nice
if it had exactly the same name, signedPublicKeyAndChallengeString.

or, do you think that signedPublicKeyAndChallengeString should have a better
name?

thanks for cleaning up this file.

It's not clear from the function name where and when it's used. I have tweaked the comment a little bit.

Yes, I meant to say that both public key and challenge string combined together are signed. Will fix the comment.

genKeyAndSignChallenge() is what the WebKit layer is asking the browser to do, so more accurate IMO. But WebCore uses signedPublicKeyAndChallenge() at various places (incl. html/HTMLKeygenElement.cpp), so I didn't change it. 

Maybe, we can make it signedPublicKeyAndChallengeString for ChromiumBridge but keep genKeyAndSignChallenge in the Chromium portion?

Darin, signedPublicKeyAndChallengeString does more than signing;
it also generates a new key pair.  This is why I suggested the
genKeyAndSignChallenge function name to Gaurav.

But I agree that the since ChromiumBridge method is just a 1-1
pass through, it should have the same name.  Gaurav, let's do
what you suggested above.  The signedPublicKeyAndChallengeString
name should extend all the way to
chrome/renderer/renderer_webkitclient_impl.cc in the Chromium
source tree.

That makes sense.  My point was that if the WebCore name is poor, then let's fix it :-)

[Darin Fisher (:fishd, Google)]

One note about naming:  In WebKit, the style is to avoid abbreviations when naming methods.

Ok, I made the change to make it a 1-1 pass through.

nit: there should be a bug link here.  i'll add that before committing.
