           Summary: QWebkitPluginFactory should support accessing the
                    inline PDF data
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: tarja.sundqvist at digia.com

The attached example application implements a custom webkit plugin which downloads a PDF file to a local file.

Web page that is opened, e.g. pdf_test.html:

{code}
<HTML>
<BODY>
<p>Pdf tester<P>

<iframe width="100%" height="90%" src="generate_pdf.php"/>
</BODY>
</HTML>
{code}

pdf_test.html refers to "generate_pdf.php" via an iframe.

Content of generate_pdf.php:

{code}
<HTML>
<BODY onload="javascript:document.mainform.submit()">
<p>Generating Form<P>

<FORM name="mainform" action="view_pdf.php" METHOD=POST>
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="test.pdf" />
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
{code}

generate_pdf.php calls view_pdf.php via a POST form (with the pdf name as post data).

Content of view_pdf.php:

{code}
<?php
if($_POST["name"] != '')
{
// Simple check to make sure noone is doing anything wrong (given this is a public facing page)
if($_POST["name"] != 'test.pdf')
{
echo 'Please do not poison my $_POST variables!';
die;
}

header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' + $_POST["name"] + '"');
readfile($_POST["name"]);
}
?>
{code}

--> Feature suggestion: custom plugin should 1) know that the data is inline and 2) get access to that downloaded data.
