           Summary: Activity fails to report items correctly
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

r31535 

In previous builds, and in Apple Safari 3.1, if an item on a webpage cannot be
loaded, the item is listed correctly in the Activity window, and the status
indicates "can't connect to host" correctly.

In build r31535, such items fail to appear in the Activity window.

Also, errors are underreported in the Status Bar, because such items are not
counted as errors.

This behavior is incorrect.

Note: the behavior is not consistent- there are some occasions where an item
from a blocked domain will appear in the Activity window with correct "can't
connect to host" status, and counted correctly as an error in Status Bar.




a few examples:

on www.drudgereport.com:
when domains other than drudgereport.com and d.yimg.com are blocked
intentionally-
harvest.adgardener.com items appear in Activity correctly ("can't connect to
host") and is reported correctly as an error in Status Bar. 
other blocked domains do not appear in Activity and are not counted as errors.

on www.cnn.com:
mostly everything blocked, www.cnn.com, i.cdn.turner.com, i.l.cnn.net not
blocked.
metrics.cnn.com is blocked- it is the only blocked domain that appears in
Activity window and counted as error.

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1725514,00.html :
everything blocked except www.time.com and img.timeinc.net
no blocked items appear in Activity window, no errors



NOTE: to block domain, modify /etc/hosts file to include "127.0.0.1 
www.somedomain.com" to cause hostname references to point to localhost instead
of the typical domain name lookup. This technique is detailed in bug#18183.

http://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=20274 contains a sample host file
which was used to get results illustrated in above examples. The attachment is
named "hosts.txt", but please note the file on your computer is named "hosts".
