            Bug ID: 156801
           Summary: Anchor element 'ping' property should only apply to
                    http/https destinations
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The HTML5 specification <https://developers.whatwg.org/links.html#ping> indicates: "The ping attribute, if present, gives the URLs of the resources that are interested in being notified if the user follows the hyperlink. The value must be a set of space-separated tokens, each of which must be a valid non-empty URL."

Although the specification indicates that it must be a "valid non-empty URL", it doesn't really make sense to support anything besides http/https destinations.

We should tighten up WebKit to ignore other protocols.
