[webkit-dev] Need help in understanding how webkit handles clicks event

[Alex Russell]

The PDF handling stuff is related to a mimetype filter. The web server  
sends a particular mime type along with each document, and if it's not  
something that the browser knows how to deal with directly, it'll  
interrogate all of its plugins to see if they want to handle it. When  
plugins are registered they provide a list of types they'll handle. See:

And:
