           Summary: [GTK] Allow passing extra data to web extensions
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: aperez at igalia.com


Right now in the GTK port the injected bundles get only the path to the directory
where to search for web extensions, but there is no way of passing data to the web
extensions from the UI process. This leads to a situation where the UI process has
to set environment variables to pass some configurations to the web process. Ideally,
the WebKitGTK port should provide API to set which data is to be passed to the web
extensions, pass it along with the web extensions directory when injected bundle
initialization is done, and provide an API for web extensions to retrieve the data.
