[webkit-qt] Currently Missing Features with QtWebkit / QNetworkAccessManager

Here is my 2 cents worth... 

QtWebKit
--------------

1.) Spell checking support that was just recently discussed in another thread. 
I personally thing this should be doable since both Chrome & Safari seem to 
provide this functionality.

2.) Form completion support (bug #36668). Again this is also present in 
Chrome, not sure about Safari.

3.) Java support (bug # 33044).

4.) HTML 5 media tag support (specially <video>) is still problematic.

5.) Access Key support. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233188

6.) The auto scroll feature would be nice to have as well...

QNAM
---------
1.) Add a new class for filtering requests without having to inherit from 
QNetworkAccessManager, something like a QNetworkRequestFilter class, which can 
be added and removed from QNAM to be used as a request filter.

Regards,
Dawit A.
