Bug 172128 – [WK2][macOS][iOS] Allow Network process to access nsurlstoraged's top level domain data cache

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Brent Fulgham]

We extended the sandbox last cycle to permit access to nsurlstoraged's top level domain data cache. At the time, we believed this was only needed in the WebContent process. However, further logging and feedback from the networking teams reveal that the Network process should also have been granted this access.

This bug allows the Network Process to access the nsurlstoraged's data cache.

Is there an explanation about why this is only needed on certain OS versions?  Will this be permanent?  Should we have done it before?

It's not needed on older OS's since the cache was not really being used. We want it to be used in an upcoming release, and beyond.

In bugzilla I have no comment on the existence of such an upcoming release, much less our plans if such a thing exists.  But r=me
