           Summary: Requests through the SOUP layer leaks memory
           Product: WebKit

          Platform: All

          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2

Code making one XMLHttpRequest every 0.1s

The attached test case makes one XMLHttpRequest() call each 0.1s. As times goes
by it uses more and more memory. This will most likely also affect any type of
HTTP request made.

I have found a code change that will stop the leak. However, that isn't really
a solution, but it might be a hint to someone that knows the code better. I
based the change on how it worked in earlier revisions of the code that didn't
have this leak.
(Why the "m_isWebSecurityEnabled" change is needed I have no idea. Only found
it by a lucky coincident)
