           Summary: REGRESSION(r84099): pages loaded by setHtml cannot use
                    local storage
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Qt, QtTriaged
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rafael.lobo at openbossa.org


Since r84099, pages loaded by QWebFrame::setHtml with blank URLs (empty or "about:blank"), won't be able to use local storage as they now have a globally unique security origin. When the user loads a page with that, wouldn't be desired by him that local storage is accessible in such cases? Actually it may be expected that, no matter what url is defined, the user should still be able to use local storage as he is the one setting the html content.

The attachment provides a test case that shows this bug happening. I found it while investigating this bug (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58847), but I think the discussion of how this should work should be moved to here.
