Summary
WebKit with libsoup backend can handle only http: protocol

On my WebKitGtk build with libsoup backend, I'm unable to open local (i.e. on my hard disk or other storage media) HTML files in Epiphany, load gtk-docs in (patched) devhelp and load user docs in (patched) Yelp. A bug against libsoup was opened[1] asking to add support to data: and file: protocols, but it was also closed as WONTFIX, suggesting to use gio/gvfs for any non http: stuff. PS please note that gio/gvfs should also be useful to manage other protocols in browser links, such as mailto: and any other non-Web protocol used to open or start other applications. PPS yes, maybe "Add GIO/GVFS support to WebKitGtk" was a better summary... [1]
