Comment on attachment 17837 [details] newer URL -> url patch (now with Windows support and changelogs) + Scrub URL out of the tree in preparation of ranameing KURL to URL. Renaming is spelled wrong here. Also "in preparation of" is not very good English. + * WebCore.base.exp: + * bindings/js/kjs_events.cpp: + (WebCore::JSLazyEventListener::parseCode): I don't think it is all that helpful to list all the files and functions when the only change is renaming. It would be neat to list only files that have interesting changes; something other than just renaming. Or we could just omit the file list entirely. Or leave it as is, not sure. 1637 DeprecatedString dstUrl = activeFrame->loader()->completeURL(DeprecatedString(args[0]->toString(exec))).url(); 1637 String dstUrl = activeFrame->loader()->completeURL(args[0]->toString(exec)).deprecatedString(); This is strange. It's changed to call deprecatedString(), but the type of the variable was changed to String! 48 return m_url.url().isNull(); 48 return m_url.deprecatedString().isNull(); We should probably add a KURL.isNull() for this. Not sure why I didn't. What about platforms other than Mac and Windows. r=me if you fix the things I mentioned above.

I thought we wanted to rename KURL to DeprecatedURL or ParsedURL, not URL, right? URL gives the incorrect impression that this is the class that you should use when passing around URLs when, in reality, a String is just fine in many cases. Also, KURL is built on top of DeprecatedString.

(In reply to comment #6) > I thought we wanted to rename KURL to DeprecatedURL or ParsedURL, not URL, > right? I discussed this at length with Maciej and a few others. I can't remember all the arguments back and forth but we did settle on URL. > URL gives the incorrect impression that this is the class that you should use > when passing around URLs when, in reality, a String is just fine in many cases. That's true. But URL provides some benefits. I really wish I could remember the details of the discussion. I thought you were involved. > Also, KURL is built on top of DeprecatedString. That's temporary. We will be changing that.

But URL provides some benefits. I really wish I could remember the details of the discussion. I thought you were involved. In the past, we've talked about having a URLString class for passing around Strings that are URLs (i.e., that have already been validated as URLs).
