           Summary: [filesystem/Chromium] filesystem URLs are not fully
                    supported
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ericu at chromium.org

The current implementation of filesystem URLs does the bare minimum to load simple URLs.
URLs for filesystem objects with interesting characters in their names [e.g. % and non-ASCII] either don't work or look terrible.
Queries and references aren't implemented at all.
Escaping is missing.

As soon as https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62813 lands, this will be a much bigger problem, as users will be free to make whatever interesting filenames they want, but it's already a problem.

This change will depend on changes to the googleurl library [up for review at http://codereview.appspot.com/4961060/], and won't actually fix Chromium until the corresponding Chromium-side changes are made [in progress at http://codereview.chromium.org/7811006, not quite in review yet].

This CL won't build without the googleURL changes, but once they're in, should be harmless [not change any behavior] until the Chromium code hits with the #define that turns on the new googleurl behavior.
