I like the approach.  Two comments:

 301         if (OriginAccessWhiteList* list = originAccessMap().get(documentOrigin->toString())) {
 302             PassRefPtr<SecurityOrigin> targetOrigin = SecurityOrigin::create(url);
 303             for (size_t i = 0; i < list->size();  ++i) {
 304                 if (list->at(i).matchesOrigin(*targetOrigin))
 305                     return true;
 306             }
 307         }

This looks like copy/paste code.  Can we abstract that into a private method?

+var localImageLocation = layoutTestController.pathToLocalResource('file:///tmp/LayoutTests/http/tests/security/resources/compass.jpg');

Will this file URL work on all platforms (e.g., Windows)?  Is this how other tests do this?

Done.

I was initially reluctant to do this since it requires us to always create the targetOrigin SecuritOrigin even if the list is empty but I don't think this is an issue since we only get here for local files and creating a SecurityOrigin seems pretty cheap since it is done a lot already.

This is how other tests do it. I only ran the test on Mac though.

+ bool isAccessWhiteListed(const SecurityOrigin& targetOrigin) const;

We should be passing around SecurityOrigin as a SecurityOrigin* not a const SecurityOrigin& because its a pointer type, not a reference type.

What was the resolution on

+var localImageLocation = layoutTestController.pathToLocalResource('file:///tmp/LayoutTests/http/tests/security/resources/compass.jpg');

?

+        PassRefPtr<SecurityOrigin> targetOrigin = SecurityOrigin::create(url);

This should be a RefPtr.  PassRefPtr is only for parameter.  You might find it useful to read this documentation:

http://webkit.org/coding/RefPtr.html

Other than that, this patch is looking good.

Ah, ok.  Good.  :)

Great.  Thanks for the patch.

+ const SecurityOrigin*

We don't usually use const pointers as parameters, but I see that there's already an example of this in the file.  Would you be willing to make a followup patch (in a new bug) that removes all the examples in this file?

OK. Will do.

Thanks for the review and the pointer to the PassRefPtr/RefPtr doc.
