Patch to fix this bug.

In FrameLoaderClientImpl::dispatchDecidePolicyForNavigationAction()

isRedirect is currently determined by hasRedirectChain(), which checks for an non-empty redirect chain. Instead, it should check for a redirect chain with more than one element. All valid redirects will have at least the source URL and the destination URL in the redirect chain.
Comment 1 Ben Smith 2011-06-28 18:17:30 PDT
I don't believe a LayoutTest is necessary for this patch, because isRedirect is only used in chromium (for determining whether to fork a process), and has no user-visible effect in the browser.

All patch require a ChangeLog:

Patch to fix this bug.

Is this testable with a Chromium WebKit API test?  Generally, these sorts of subtle changes are easy to regress if we don't have any test coverage.  If this is used for forking processes in the embedder, perhaps we can write a test at that layer?

(Marking r- because of the lack of changelog.)
Comment 4 Ben Smith 2011-06-29 12:10:28 PDT
Yes, I believe it would be possible to test at that level.

Is it WebKit/Source/WebKit/chromium/tests/*?

It's been a while since I've had time to work on this one... :)

Adam, can you review my new patch? I've included a test in WebFrameTest that exhibits the bug (when the fix in FrameLoaderClientImpl.cpp is removed).

Adam, is there something else I need to do to commit this patch? It seems that it is in an infinite commit-queue. :)
