test program

Download and compile the test program, and click twice on "Next Step".

Notes:
- this bug is a serious problem for Liferea users
- the small example is not complete HTML, but the actual bug is with a complete XHTML file
- as seen in the test program, the same HTML is accepted in webkit_web_view_load_uri()
- tested on amd64 with 1.1.16 and latest SVN trunk
- --disable-jit does not help

[Gustavo Noronha (kov)]

This is a bug in libsoup. Bug report, and patch here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602498

We may want to add a work-around nevertheless?

work around

I submitted a patch to soup, but perhaps we should add this work-around to webkit as well, so that people who don't upgrade soup don't get crashes.

work around

Should we wrap this in a version check for lib soup?

Also, what's a cookie with no domain look like?  How does one ever set one?

Would a javascript: url which manipulates document.cookies work as a unit test?

Could you take an iframe and have it load up a javascript:document.cookies = "foo" url (or whatever the proper cookie-setting code would be?

Before you are doing too complicated things here you could also consider not changing WebKit's code but bumping WebKit's libsoup dependency instead.

WebKit already requires as a minimum a development verion of libsoup shortly before 2.28, and assuming a libsoup 2.28.2 with this fix included comes out soon that wouldn't be a big version bump.

In Liferea (the application much affected by this bug) I plan to increase the libsoup dependency in trunk (that is for unrelated reasons already at 2.28) instead of bumping the WebKit dependency from currently 1.1.11.

We decided to not apply this work-around, and depend on a newer soup instead. Thanks all.
