Bug 168433 – [GTK] Lack of support for CrossOriginPreflight XHR request

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: WebCore Misc.

[Javier Fernandez]

The change in r204795 added support on WebCore for redirect post CORS-preflight requests.
This enabled to follow cross-origin redirections for not-simple requests, through preflight checks.

We were not processing the non-simple request on http/tests/xmlhttprequest/redirections-and-user-headers.html fails because of this, but now they are being processed.

I don t think such test fails because of that, but it definitively triggered some missing features of the GTK port.

Please, Youenn, if you have time take a look.

This code should be cross-platform but hey, we never know!
Looking at the current GTK result, it does not seem related to CORS/preflight since one same-origin redirection test is not passing either (Authentication header present).

Is r204795 regressing the test in GTK?

Not exactly. The test was already failing before r204795 but with a different error. I think the new errors come from the fact that after r204795 we allow  same-origin redirections for non-simple requests. 

My request for review would be more to get some clue about what webkitgtk could be missing to cause the current failure of this test.

This appears to have been fixed under 230935.
