           Summary: Set popup's location to about:blank while it's loading
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: pam at chromium.org
                CC: sam at webkit.org


Different browsers return different things for the properties of a popup window
while the window is opening. In particular, the behavior of window.location,
window.href, and window.pathname vary.  

The Selenium web app test system -- http://selenium.openqa.org -- depends on
this behavior.

When running the fast/dom/Window/window-open-pending-url.html test,
popup.location reports as follows:

Safari ToT: location: /
Firefox: location: about:blank
Chrome: location: about:blank
IE7: location: file:///C:/<path to>/fast/dom/Window/resources/destination.html

WebKit should also report 'location: about:blank', for consistency and so
Selenium works.  See bug 21419 for earlier discussion.
