I have implemented IWebDocumentView and IWebDocumentRepresentation. As required, i am passing the pointer to the objects of the respective classes to the RegisterViewClass method of IWebView  object, now this method returns me E_NOTIMPL, which means the method is not implemented,  Do i need to implement IWebView also? Is there anything extra to be done to write my own handler for a particular mime type.

I want to read this resources and pages from the blob, and render it on the WebView, from the memory. For Internet Explorer, i have written similar kind of thing, implementing IInternetProtocol, thanks to Igor. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767883%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). Am i following the right approach for the WebKit.

The IWebView::registerViewClass function has never been implemented in WebKit. (See <http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit/win/WebView.cpp?rev=96549#L3489>.)

If all you want to do is provide custom data for certain resources and have WebKit render the resulting data for you, you might want to investigate using IWebResourceLoadDelegate::willSendRequest to modify the URLs of those resources to use a custom URL scheme, and then implement a handler for your URL scheme that provides the desired data. URL handlers are a feature of whatever networking library you're using, not of WebKit itself, so the mechanism for implementing one depends on which networking library you're using.

If you really need to provide a custom view, you could investigate IWebUIDelegatePrivate::embeddedViewWithArguments and IWebEmbeddedView. This lets you supply a custom HWND to be used for rendering an <object> or <embed> element.
