            Bug ID: 140392
           Summary: [GTK] Add API to control mixed-content blocking
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at igalia.com

Browsers should be able to block mixed content. For Epiphany, I want all active mixed content to be blocked. Privacy-focused browsers need to block passive mixed content as well (but we can't do this in Epiphany as it would break too many sites), so this needs to be a browser-controlled setting.

Major browsers notify users when they block mixed content, and allow the user to reload the page with mixed content unblocked. I've never needed to do this to make a site work, so I wonder if we can get away with not providing this functionality in Epiphany, but our API should make this possible since I'm not aware of any browser that blocks mixed content without allowing the user to load it anyway.
