           Summary: Expose WebContext::setCookieStorageDirectory() to Qt
                    API
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mardy at users.sourceforge.net


Use case: a client wanting to provide the user the possibility of browsing the internet under different user identities, where the cookies obtained while browsing under one identity would be kept completely separate from those from other identities.
In our specific case, we need this trick for the Ubuntu Online Accounts project, where we provide web-based authentication to user applications; and supporting multiple user accounts for the same provider is an important use case for us.

If my understanding of the WebKit UIProcess is correct, this could be achieved by calling WebContext::setCookieStorageDirectory() before starting the navigation, and specifying a different cookie storage directory every time that the user changes identity.

However, this functionality is not exposed in the Qt API. This bug, therefore, is about adding a "cookieStorageDirectory" property to the QQuickWebViewExperimental class. Please let me know if there are objections to this addition, otherwise I will start working on the implementation (unless someone more familiar with webkit development volunteers to work on this).
