This is useful to set the security policy for custom URI schemes, for example, to be treated as local or secure.

I needed this API to implement custom URI schemes in Yelp in preparation for the WebKit2 port. See the last patch in this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683100
The patch looks good to me. If I wanted to be a nitpicker I would just say "maybe expand a bit more the documentation, as in making some things clearer such as what a URI scheme is (maybe a reference to RFC 3986?) or what a 'CORS request' is (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, I assume)"
Comment on attachment 161654 [details] Patch View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=161654&action=review Looks good to me! Just a couple comments. > Source/WebKit/gtk/webkit/webkitglobals.h:149 > + * @WEBKIT_SECURITY_POLICY_NO_ACCESS: Pages loaded with this URI scheme WEBKIT_SECURITY_POLICY_NO_ACCESS seems a bit too broad. Perhaps WEBKIT_SECURITY_POLICY_NO_ACCESS_TO_OTHER_SCHEMES or something better? > Source/WebKit/gtk/webkit/webkitglobals.h:155 > + * @WEBKIT_SECURITY_POLICY_CORS_ENABLED: URI scheme that can be sent CORS requests. Agree with Mario here that you might want to link to the CORS spec.
