Bug 58732 – [Qt] Unable to DnD content in certain websites

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Aparna Nandyal]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open QtTestBrowser
2. Launch http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/dragdropie/Example2.htm or http://html5demos.com/drag-anything
3. Try to drag and drop content as mentioned

Expected results: 
It works as mentioned in the website

Actual result:
undefined is shown instead of dropped content.

Analysis:
Refer http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dnd.html#dnd 

As per the document, when getData is called:
If format equals "text", change it to "text/plain".
If format equals "url", change it to "text/uri-list"

Few other webkit ports like Win, chromium adhere to this. 

That is when setData is used with say text/plain or text/uri-list and getData is called with text or url (or vice versa), DnD fails. In the current code, it does not recognize "text" = "text/plain" and "url" = "text/uri-list"

Fixes the problem. Qt DnD has a problem hence unable to write an auto test.

I'm sure this is testable.  Do we have tests which cover this?  If not, we need to add some.  If we do, we should be updating the expected results.

Can you please refernece the Qt DnD bug in your ChangeLog if you're prevented in adding tests by it?

It isn't a Qt bug that prevents us from using auto tests for DnD.
I tried to explain the issue in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31332#c7 and you can see some more discussion in that bug.
