Has there been any progress with this effort? Specifically, I'm wondering if there is a bug on bugs.webkit.org that we are using to track this task. Cheers, Adam On Friday 14 November 2008 5:53:56 pm Adam Barth wrote:
Ok. I'll file a bug report at http://bugreport.apple.com/ with several things that should be easy to change. In parallel, we can investigate moving the sniffing algorithm to WebKit.
Thanks, Adam

One disadvantage of moving the algorithm is that we might make some unintended changes.
Another disadvantage is that any other Mac OS X libraries or applications that rely on the sniffing done by CFNetwork will no longer get the same results as WebKit clients.
Also, I don't think we've established yet if we can turn off the sniffing in CFNetwork and keep the other desirable CFNetwork features working. There are a number of closely related features, such as the one that determines the suggested filename for a download.
I think the concept of moving the sniffing into WebKit is great if we can execute it successfully. I'm worried that it may be difficult to do that in the Mac OS X version and the Windows version used by Safari.
