           Summary: Expose the web security setting.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: eostroukhov at gmail.com


We are developing an IDE for mobile web widgets. Those widgets will be ran on the handhelds as standalone applications. Our IDE has a built-in web server that serves both the widget itself and "simulator" and has some logic (so from the browser opens "http://" url instead of "file://"). In this case call to remote site (i.e. to fetch RSS feed) becomes a cross-domain request and is blocked by webkit security.

WebKit has a setting to disable this check (http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/40449). Qt does not expose it.
