OK, so even with the changes in place from my previous response Qt will still
throw an exception due to the unrecognized HTTP method - which in
makeCrossOriginAccessRequestWithPreflight() is 'OPTIONS'. QtWebKit doesn't
support anything apart from GET/POST/PUT/HEAD/DELETE. I guess this test should
remain skipped in Qt until it explicitly supports the OPTIONS method - until it
does it won't hit the code this test is meant to validate.

All that said, the more I look at the code the more I think the proper result
should include a 'Got exception', though for different reasons to the one Qt is
producing it. The test is meant to hit preflightFailure() at some point and
that will cause the test to catch an exception. Presumably libsoup in GTK can
handle OPTIONS appropriately, I'll fix the gtk port to disable
universalAccessFromFiles during the test run and see what happens there.
