           Summary: Client-based Geolocation does not handle multiple
                    simultaneous requests
           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

Client-based Geolocation does not handle multiple simultaneous requests to Geolocation methods on a single Geolocation object.

For client-based Geolocation, Geolocation::startUpdating() adds an observer to the GeolocationController for each new method call. However, the GeolocationController asserts that the same observer is not added twice.

Instead, we should allow the same observer to be added multiple times. There's no need to keep track of the number of times a given observer is added as Geolocation::stopUpdating(), which removes the observer, is only called when all requests in the Geolocation object are complete.
