Bug 140214 – WKNavigation.initialRequest is always nil in -[WKNavigationDelegate webView:didReceiveServerRedirectForProvisionalNavigation:]

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebKit2

[Eugene But]

Summary:
The initialRequest property of the WKNavigation object passed to -[WKNavigationDelegate webView:didReceiveServerRedirectForProvisionalNavigation:] is always nil. I expected this to be in the request that triggered the redirect.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create a WKWebView instance and load browsingtest.appspot.com.
2) Click on "redirect301" from the page in the row "Window34".

Sample Code:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
  [super viewDidLoad];
  WKWebViewConfiguration* config = [[WKWebViewConfiguration alloc] init];
  self.webView =
  [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds configuration:config];
  [self.view addSubview:self.webView];
  self.webView.navigationDelegate = self;
  NSURLRequest* request = [[NSURLRequest alloc]
      initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://browsingtest.appspot.com"]];
  [self.webView loadRequest:request];
  // click redirect301 on the page.
}

- (void)webView:(WKWebView *)webView
didReceiveServerRedirectForProvisionalNavigation:(WKNavigation *)navigation {
  // This should not be nil.
  NSLog(@"%@", navigation.initialRequest);
}


Expected Results:
Expected WKNavigation.initialRequest to be populated with http://browsingtest.appspot.com/redirect?code=301 - the same request passed to -webView:decidePolicyForNavigationAction:decisionHandler: and -webView:didStartProvisionalNavigation:. 

Actual Results:
WKNavigation.initialRequest is nil
