           Summary: [GTK] No function to create empty WebPluginDatabase
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: janousek.jiri at gmail.com


WebCore allows to create empty global PluginDatabase via PluginDatabase::installedPlugins(false), but WebKitGTK+ provides only function webkit_get_web_plugin_database() that creates global populated database via PluginDatabase::installedPlugins() (default value of argument is true). I suggest to add new function webkit_get_empty_web_plugin_database() using PluginDatabase::installedPlugins(false).

My reason for this feature request: I created specialized browser for cloud music services providing integration with Linux desktop (multimedia keys, etc.) and I use WebKit to embed cloud music websites. The Flash plugin is the only plugin I need, other plugins increase memory usage and may cause other issues (e.g. LibreOffice plugin was reported to open LibreOffice window when initialized). With this feature I could use special directory containing only symlink to flashplugin and use webkit_web_settings_add_extra_plugin_directory() to load it.
