[webkit-dev] Disable WebKit2 Security

I'm trying to disable some web security for my Mac desktop app. Currently,
if I try to load a local json file I get the error:

[Error] XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///Users/koen/Desktop/test.json.
Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP.

I tried setting the following two configuration options with the C api:
WKPreferencesSetWebSecurityEnabled(prefsRef, false);
WKPreferencesSetFileAccessFromFileURLsAllowed(prefsRef, true);

But none of these seem to do anything.

What am I missing?
