           Summary: [GTK] Use the same DNS prefetching path than the other
                    ports.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: svillar at igalia.com


After https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35589 the GTK+ port is using a different code path than the other ports for DNS pre-fetching. It was done back then because there were plans to add some features to soup_session_prepare_for_uri() that would require a full URL instead of just the host name. That work in libsoup was tracked in bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605065.

After reviewing both patches and double checking with Dan, we agreed that it does not longer make any sense as adding more features to _prepare_for_uri() is really unlikely now.

So it looks like going back to the previous state, and thus, using the same code paths than the other ports is desirable.
