           Summary: Memory leak in soup during loading & unloading an URL
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P2

Hi,
   I compiled WebKit-r39433 with configuration option --with-target=x11
--with-http-backend=soup. I created a page to refresh at interval of 2000ms
with the following source code:

<html>
    <script>
        function callme()
        {
            setTimeout(callme2,2000);
        }

        function callme2() 
        {
            window.location.reload();
        }
    </script>
    <body onload="callme()">
    </body>

</html>

I also observed the VmSize of GtkLauncher and found the following result.

Mon Dec 22 14:10:31 IST 2008
webkit: VmSize:    57348 kB

Mon Dec 22 14:37:31 IST 2008
webkit: VmSize:    58708 kB

I created a patch which shows no leaks for the same above test. I will post it
soon.

I have also discussed about these leaks in the following thread:
