Thanks for summarizing it like this. This will not be a trivial task for me because I don't have any knowledge of Objective C++ and NS API, but I'm willing to give it a try. That's also why this is going to probably take me a bit more time than usual. I'll try to come up with a patch as soon as possible. I still need to ask: are you and Carlos sure that this is going to work as intended, i.e. there isn't any Mac-specific code in WebCoreNSURLExtras that would prevent us from moving the implementation to the WebCore layer?
