            Bug ID: 145717
           Summary: It's impossible to detect that XMLHttpRequest is
                    blocked by mixed content blocking
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

When mixed content blocking is enabled in WebKit, mixed content XMLHttpRequests just appear to stall - they forever remain in readyState 1, and don't get any final events.

I suspect that they likely leak at some level too.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Put any simple XMLHttpRequest test case into LayoutTests/tests/http that loads from http://127.0.0.1:8000

2. Run this command (it essentially runs the server for us, as run-webkit-httpd doesn't support https):

run-webkit-tests LayoutTests/http/tests/xmlhttprequest/readystatechange.html --repeat 100000

3. Open your test using https, observe that the load stalls.
