REGRESSION(r93902): Can't open external links on gmail

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Reproduction steps:
1. Go to gmail.com
2. Open some message that contains an external hyperlink
3. Open it while pressing the command key

Expected result:
The destination is opened in new tab

Actual result:
I get an alert with message "Grrr! A popup blocker may be preventing the application from opening the page. If you have a popup blocker, try disabling it to open the window."

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Oops, this bug doesn't reproduce on released version of Safari 5.1.  Only on ToT.

Further bisected to r93900-r93903, meaning that it's <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/93902> (bug 66823).

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

My steps to reproduce:
1. Open a webkit-changes list message in GMail.
2. Click or Cmd-click on revision number.

Expected results: changeset opens in a new window or tab.
Actual results: a "Grrr!" alert.

This might be also related to nightly not auto-installing new binaries.

looking now.

the window isn't created because sendSync returns false.  Looking further, sendSync does send the message okay, but it's having trouble decoding the reply.

This bug couldn't happen on Windows, could it?

Is there a reason why this cannot be done right away? Leaving ArgumentCodersCF.cpp in Objective C++ mode seems unfortunate.

Would be nice to avoid leaving an autoreleased object behind - NSURL has initWithString:.

Not sure...

I wanted to get this fix landed as soon as possible.

I couldn't find an elegant way to do that given that we want to call adoptNS on a RetainPtr<CFURLRef>.

Is it possible to write a test for this?
