           Summary: [Qt] The image plugin used for decoding images should
                    be configurable
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Qt
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit API
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Currently, all the images plugins can be used to decode images.

That can be a security issue, one might want to avoid some image formats when
decoding images from the Web: Tiff, SVG (see
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37826), mng for example.

We could add an API in QWebSettings to name explicitly the plugins that can be
loaded:
QWebSettings::disableAutoImageLoading()
QWebSettings::enableImagePlugin("jpg");
