Bug ID: 178821
Summary: [CG] Add an SPI to allow loading images which CG
support but they are not in WebKit whitelist
Product: WebKit
Version: WebKit Nightly Build
Hardware: Unspecified
OS: Unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: Images
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: sabouhallawa at apple.com
After <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/215829>, WebKit supports only a whitelist of image formats. Loading an image with any other format will be cancelled and the image will be displayed as a broken image. The whitelist was chosen based on what image formats other browsers support and which image formats are standard. But some of the WebView clients use it for different purposes other than showing web pages. Those clients may want to display image with formats not in the WebKit whitelist.
To fix this issue we need to expose an SPI to those clients so they can enable any format they want as long as "CG supports these formats".
