           Summary: Every XMLHttpRequest leaks memory, at least for Safari
                    Activity window
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: james at jberry.us


Each time XMLHttpRequest is issued, a new entry is generated in the Safari
Activity window. For regular periodic updates of an open page, this could
accumulate significantly over time.

The attached test issues an XMLHttpRequest to google, once a second. Each
second, you'll note that a new entry is added to the Safari Activity window for
the http://www.google.com url.

I don't know if this memory leak is limited to only the Safari Activity items,
or if it reaches farther. Nor do I know how big the leak is.

I don't believe it would be wrong behavior, necessarily, if an activity window
record replaced any previous record for the same url???
