Description Simon Pieters (:zcorpan) 2012-04-16 07:53:14 PDT
Please remove BlobBuilder (currently prefixed WebKitBlobBuilder). It has been replaced with the Blob() constructor in the File API spec.

Given that Chrome has shipped WebKitBlobBuilder for while, we will have to tred carefully here.  As a first step, we should probably just implement the Blob constructor.
Comment 3 Sam Weinig 2012-04-22 16:57:27 PDT
I filed https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84555 to track adding the Blob constructor.

This patch adds a flag, ENABLE_LEGACY_WEBKIT_BLOB_BUILDER, to control exposing the WebKitBlobBuilder. (It doesn't control whether the C++ class is compiled, as that is used internally).  It also disables WebKitBlobBuilder on the Mac port, since we have never shipped it, it doesn't make sense to keep it enabled.

{ option => "legacy-notifications", desc => "Toggle Legacy WebKitBlobBuilder Support",

Is that first string correct?

I don't think this is the right option name...
