           Summary: NPAPI routine NPN_RequestRead is not implemented
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rsherry at adobe.com


We are developing a plug-in to display structured (rather than streamed) documents from the web.  Some of them are quite large, and our display would be much more efficient if we could selectively read bytes from the document rather than wait for the entire document to be downloaded.

NPN_RequestRead(), in the NPAPI spec, is specifically for this.  The Mozilla engine supports it, IE's ActiveX technology supports the equivalent, but WebKit does not: it has notImplemented().

This is probably more of an enhancement request, but a much-desired one.
