Indeed, I agree, just not sure how to support for example custom GProxyResolver in this case.

I mean that you would have more flexibility here, anything available in the SoupSession could be easily tweaked to the user liking. But yeah, with the possibility of switching to network process this patch makes no sense.

Got it.

Thanks for the comments, I will close here as WONTFIX as I won't have time to work on a proper patch for the UIProcess API.
