           Summary: Store non-standard HTTP headers in history
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: magreenblatt at gmail.com


Non-standard HTTP headers, usually prefixed with 'X-', are used by a number of
server-based applications. It is currently possible to create an
NSMutableURLRequest that contains non-standard HTTP headers and load that
request via a call to WebFrame::loadRequest(). If the request is then re-loaded
via a call to WebFrame::reload() the non-standard HTTP headers are remembered
and re-submitted. However, if the request is loaded by navigating the history
then the non-standard HTTP headers will have been lost and will not be
re-submitted. To address what I believe is an API omission I propose that
WebCore::HistoryItem be modified to store non-standard HTTP headers so that
they can be re-submitted when the user navigates back to the request via the
history.
