[webkit-help] Remembering visited links at run-time.

Hi all,

running the Acid3 test on the new WebKit-based browser I am currently 
writing for the Haiku operating system, I receive a score of 98/100 and 
"LINKTEST FAILED". Until now, I assumed it must be something the Haiku port 
is lacking, but today I googled a bit for this problem, and it looks like 
this may actually be a WebKit bug?

Some links I found:

<https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17064>
<http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6208>

I understand that the test is about remembering visited links at run-time.

Here is another test that also fails for the same reason:

<http://www.css3.info/selectors-test/>

>From the fact that both Safari and Chrome pass the link tests completely, I 
am confused whether this is a WebKit problem or a problem in my browser (or 
the Haiku port). Am I perhaps supposed to call some methods in WebCore 
which trigger the correct behavior with regard to visited links?

Thanks for any pointers & best regards,
-Stephan
