Description hellagot 2012-03-14 06:15:31 PDT 
QWebView blocks the main loop when executing blocking (aka synchronous) ajax reqeusts.

I do not know the WebKit version in use, release note says WebKit 2.2.1, not sure how this translates to 528+ an similar.

Attached is a small qtcreater (should compile from commandline though) example that shows the problem. I was told there is no way around this problem other then using asynchronous ajax requests in the forums, but there has to be, no other webkit browser (other then qt based) blocks the whole application on slow responding scripts.

The Qt port has been removed from WebKit, resolving.
