[webkit-dev] Move to NavigationClient

[Alex Christensen]

Also, the authentication challenge API also needs redesigning.  Right now you get an AuthenticationChallenge from which you get an AuthenticationDecisionListener to respond to.  Could these become one object in the GTK API?  The current design is based somewhat on the NSURLAuthenticationChallenge.sender model, and modern WebKit is moving towards a completion handler model.

I have been working to add calls to the NavigationClient to make it a replacement for the LoaderClient and PolicyClient. The linux ports, however, have WebKitPolicyClient and WebKitLoaderClient. Could someone working on Linux replace these with an implementation of API::NavigationClient?
