The test is failing because the resource delegate callbacks no longer fire under WK2 as expected. I think we could land this with a platform-specific expectation for WK2.

Can you elaborate on why it is ok to not send the delegates in this particular case?

It's my understanding, from talking with Geoff, that these callbacks exist exclusively for servicing the WebKit1 Mac API, and that they are not needed for WK2.

Is that not the case?

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

It depends on which level the failure occurs at - we could be breaking internal behaviors too. Also, there are a lot of very important WebKit1 clients.

I don't think that "WebKit1 only" is a license to kill. The test seems like a very straightforward one - I expect that the only reason why the patch didn't break dozens of tests is that we don't enable page cache in regression tests by default. But page cache being enabled is the norm outside regression tests.
