No public API is impacted?

NetworkCORSPreflightChecker no longer needs to be weakptr.

We probably no longer need to pass an AuthenticationChallenge&&.

We do not have this handling in NetworkCORSPreflightChecker, is that fine?
Should we move that code in NetworkDataTaskCocoa::didReceiveChallenge?

Right!

I think we still should for conceptual correctness.

That's fine.  This is actually from SPI just for testing that I plan to remove soon.

No public API is impacted.  The only public API we have is WKNavigationDelegate's didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge which works "the right way".  This is removing old stuff.

Maybe PreconnectTask no longer needs either to be CanMakeWeakPtr either.

[youenn fablet]

For extra safety, I would tend to verify we do not regress CORS preflight+ ProtectionSpaceAuthenticationSchemeServerTrustEvaluationRequested challenges with this patch.

[youenn fablet]

Given how much we regress this, we should write a test for such case.
Do we receive a ProtectionSpaceAuthenticationSchemeServerTrustEvaluationRequested challenge when loading https://localhost:8443?
If so, we could crash the network process and then do a CORS preflight.
