[webkit-help] Javascript problem when running on WebKit+Cairo+Win32

[Rick Xu]

Hi Brent,

The database creation problem has been solved. I believe the reason
why I can't create a new database from javascript in webpage is the
security quota. It must be greater than 0. But initially, it's set as
0. So, no new database will be allowed to create.

The solution is quite similar to the approach described in the following link:

http://lists.apple.com/archives/Webkitsdk-dev/2008/Apr/msg00027.html

What I did is adding a line of code

       setQuota(origin,3000);

before the check

        if (requirement <= quotaForOriginNoLock(origin))
            return true;

in the DatabaseTracker.cpp. Then, we can create the database successfully.

But I am still a little bit confused about the "quota". I think 3000
is quite a big number . What does it mean? the number of databases
allowed to create? or the size of space allowed for database ?

Best wishes,

-Rick
