            Bug ID: 189505
           Summary: [WPE][GTK] API documentation is unclear about how to
                    modify requests before sending them
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit API
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: aperez at igalia.com

There are two places where a WebKitURIRequest can be inspected
before it is sent over the network, and it is not clear in the
documentation in which case the modifications apply to it will
be reflected in the actual data sent over the network:

 - Signal handlers for WebKitWebView::decide-policy
   Modifications *ARE NOT* sent over the network.

 - Signal handlers for WebKitPage::send-request (in a Web extension)
   Modifications *ARE* sent over the network.

It would be useful if the API documentation was explicit about
this.
