           Summary: Add signal to support AdBlock in WebKit
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: alex at igalia.com

We want to add support to block resources inside the webpages based on their
URL, that way the browsers could block parts of the web based on a URL.

The idea is to have a delegate in the DocLoader::requestResource
(WebCore/loader/DocLoader.cpp), something like:

...
    KURL fullURL = m_doc->completeURL(url);

    if (!fullURL.isValid() || !canRequest(type, fullURL) || (badURL ==
fullURL))
        return 0;

For webkit version of epiphany this signal will allow us to keep the ad block
support that is implemented with the current version based on gecko.
