> I don't see how this can be right. When a load hasn't been committed yet, the current page is unchanged - this is the very reason for having an uncommitted state. If the user starts a load and immediately hits Esc to cancel, the page should remain in the same state that it was before load.

I see your point, and I agree that's the last committed URL in the page/frame, but I'm not so sure that's the active URL. I guess we need to define what the active URL is, though. This is what we have in the WebKitGTK+ API documentation:

http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/WebKitWebView.html#webkit-web-view-get-uri

It doesn't say anything about the active URL when the provisional load fails, what do you think it should be?
