Could you add a test that verifies this?

WeakHashMap?

This documentation isn't great.  It would be nice to have a list of supported values, and then sanitize the dictionary.

I don't think it's a good idea to have this in the UI process.  Just pass the dictionary along and do the session finding in the network process.
I especially don't think it's a good idea to have this function do more than just call API::PageConfiguration::copy

Would it be possible to use HTTPServer instead?  I'm trying to move away from TCPServer, which uses non-main threads and hangs the whole test if anything goes wrong instead of being well debuggable.

@(server.port()) is nicer syntax.

Not without adding test-specific SPI.

Which I can if you think is worth it.

What do we do for other dictionaries that fall into that?

The lifetime is explicitly managed.

I'll ping you on slack, but I don't know how we'd go about making that list.

At one point, I was convinced it was important to keep this in the UI process for a very specific reason related to sessions outliving web views, or something like that.

But I can't remember why right now - Or, something changed over the life of the patch.

I'll strongly consider this.

Sure.

I think it would be better to use them from the header, kSCPropNetProxiesHTTPProxy instead of @"HTTPProxy" etc.

> Source/WebKit/Shared/Cocoa/ProxyOptionsCocoa.mm:53

unsigned long long value?

> Source/WebKit/Shared/Cocoa/ProxyOptionsCocoa.mm:58
> +    portResult = (uint16_t)podPort;

static_cast

> Source/WebKit/Shared/Cocoa/ProxyOptionsCocoa.mm:68

This should probably return nil instead of an allocated empty dictionary if all proxies are unset.

> Source/WebKit/Shared/Cocoa/ProxyOptionsCocoa.mm:70

6

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKWebViewConfiguration.h:217

I don't think it's good to have the value @"HTTPPort" which should be opaque.  We don't want people to write that value.

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKWebViewConfiguration.h:218
> + Value - NSNumber in the range 1-65535

No port zero, huh?

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKWebViewConfiguration.mm:183
> +    RetainPtr<NSDictionary> _connectionProxyDictionary;

This is unnecessary and has the side effect that if you set a dictionary with ignored values, the getter will have a copy of those values.  I think we should just call toProxyConfigurationDictionary() in the getter instead.

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKWebsiteDataStorePrivate.h:101

This needs availability macros.

> Tools/TestWebKitAPI/Tests/WebKitCocoa/NetworkProcess.mm:96
> +TEST(WebKit, WKWebViewProxyAPI)

Let's test adding invalid things to the dictionary and catching the exceptions.  Like negative port numbers, etc.

> Tools/TestWebKitAPI/Tests/WebKitCocoa/NetworkProcess.mm:126
> +    Util::run(&requested);

This currently mandates that the second web view makes a second connection to the proxy.  This is probably a valid assumption because we never respond.

This is a bit verbose.  ASSERT(webPageProxyID) would do.

> Source/WebKit/Shared/ProxyConfiguration.cpp:44
> +ProxyConfiguration::ProxyConfiguration()

I think it would be better to pass the identifier and dictionary as constructor parameters than to not initialize m_identifier at all in the constructor, then set it after the one call site of the constructor.

Nevermind, not quite ready to do this.
