            Bug ID: 138826
           Summary: [GTK] Add API to create a WebKitWebContext
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: cgarcia at igalia.com

We have always used a default web context without providing API to create others. The main reason was that nobody requested it and we haven't needed it either. The main problem of the default web context is that you can't configure anything during construction. This hasn't been a problem so far because all the web context configuration we expose in the API can be configured after construction. But now we need to expose API to allow the user to configure the local storage directory (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738720), which is a construct only configuration. The default web context was also a problem for our unit tests, because sharing the same context made it difficult to ensure tests cases are independent to each other. So, I think it's time to allow the user to create web contexts or inherit from WebKitWebContext to create a new custom context.
