            Bug ID: 140208
           Summary: WKUIDelegate should provide a hook for page-specific
                    location prompts
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: eugenebut at chromium.org

Summary:
The WKUIDelegate methods for alerts are very useful, as it finally allows a non-hacky way of doing things like off-screen rendering (e.g., for pre-rendering a page). However, a page can still throw a page-specific location permission prompt without any hook, which means a page the user can't see might prompt them.

For all the same reasons that the alert delegation exists, WKUIDelegate should also have a hook of some kind for controlling whether to show location permission prompts from individual pages.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Make a WKWebView that shouldn't display any prompts (e.g., because it's offscreen).
2) Navigate it to maps.google.com

Expected Results:
A location prompt that can't be prevented/handled in native code.

Actual Results:
Making the following WKUIDelegateMethod public is perfect solution for us:
+- (bool)_webView:(WKWebView *)webView shouldRequestGeolocationAuthorizationForURL:(NSURL *)url isMainFrame:(BOOL)isMainFrame mainFrameURL:(NSURL *)mainFrameURL;
