Are platform requests in webkit.org source repository somewhere?  I'd like to
understand this better.

We can move the member to Chromium's ResourceRequest.  I have another patch in
progress that adds some data for mixed content detection, but for that patch
the reviewer asked to move the member to ResourceRequestBase because it would
be useful to other ports.

In this case, any port that uses the HTML 5 content sniffing algorithm will
need this member to render sites correctly.

> Also, "defaultMimeType" should be "defaultMIMEType" per our coding style guide.

I'll fix this in the next patch update.
