[SOUP] WebSoupRequestManager should handle loading errors and zero-length replies

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

When an error happens while loading the resource, the WebSoupRequestManager doesn't notice it and the ui process keeps reading more data from the input stream. Zero-length replies are considered errors by WebSoupRequestManager in this moment.

Nit: request is -> request, it is

It would make sense for this to return a GRefPtr to avoid a leak.

Above you ASSERT data and here you return. Is there a situation where you expect data to be null here?

Ok.

The only user of that method already adopts the ref, so it's not leaked.

Yes, it's unlikely but possible. If there are more than one chunk messages sent by the UI process and the first one fails. The data is removed from the map, and a message is sent to the UI process to stop sending more chunk messages. The next chunk message already sent will be silently ignored if there's no data for for it in the request map.

Returning a RefPtr here would make it less likely for someone to misuse the new reference.

That makes sense. Do you mind putting that in a comment before the early return?

fair enough.
