           Summary: Pages that use Geolocation should be able to use the
                    page cache
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

        Depends on: 40373


Currently, pages that use Geolocation are explicitly prevented from entering the page cache.

When a page enters the page cache, the Frame object is disconnected from the DOMWindow and other objects. In order for Geolocation to work with the page cache, we need to reconnect the Frame to the Geolocation object once the page is restored from the page cache. This will likely require refactoring of Geolocation.

Refactoring is currently blocked by the need to unify all platforms to use a single Geolocation implementation. See Bug 40373.
