[webkit-dev] Networking process scope

[youenn fablet]

Hi,

I looked at the Networking process recently and am wondering what is
in scope/out of scope of this process.

Currently, the networking process is used to load resources from:
- URLs resolved using platform specific libraries (CF, libsoup...),
including data URLs
- Blob URLs
The networking process is not used for (at least):
- appcache resources URLs
- archive resources URLs

Two options come to mind:
1. Use networking process for all URLs that require actual networking.
That would mean moving data & blob URL handling within WebProcess,
probably unifying this loading with appcache/archive resource loading.
2. Use networking process for all URLs. That would mean moving
appcache/archive resource loading into Networking process at some
point.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
