           Summary: Runtime configurable WebSocket code is detectable when
                    turned off
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Regression
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: sam at webkit.org
                CC: ukai at chromium.org


The runtime switch for WebSockets that was added in
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28941 does not sufficiently hide
WebSockets from developer detection techniques.  For instance, ("WebSocket" in
window) will return true.  This can be seen as a noticeable regression in
LayoutTests/fast/dom/Window/window-properties-expected.txt as it now has a
window.WebSocket [undefined] line.

This should either be fixed shortly or the patch that introduced this behavior
should be rolled out as we don't want early adopters using the nightly builds
trying to use feature detection for WebSockets and getting bad results.
