           Summary: WebView and WebPage URLs not updated after URL is

    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

InjectedBundlePageResourceLoadClient::willSendRequestForFrame() allows clients to modify the ResourceRequest passed to it. We rely on this in the GTK+ API in order to allow a web extension to modify URLs before they are loaded. For example, Epiphany uses this to strip out query parameters that are well-known to be used for tracking users. This mostly works fine; the problem is that our WebKitWebPage and WebKitWebView objects' URI properties are not updated when this happens, so applications wind up displaying to users the original URL rather than what actually hit the network.

I will attach one possible solution. I probably should also add a cross-platform test, since it looks like the Mac port allows this as well.
