            Bug ID: 232653
           Summary: [GTK][WPE] Support getting and setting HTTP headers in
                    custom URI scheme handlers
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

This is a continuation of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231880.

Currently, there is no way for the URI scheme handler to get or set the HTTP headers.
As the last patch has proven, the URI scheme handler should also be considered to be HTTP-compliant since `fetch` or `XHR` calls to the URI scheme handler contains full HTTP information.

Those functionalities are necessary, because:
* The same functionality already exists in the macOS version of the WebKit implementation (by manipulating `NSHTTPURLResponse` and/or `NSHTTPURLRequest`)
* Could eliminate the usage of a local server: this could ease the development of semi-native apps, especially in the embedded environment
* Existing workaround to get HTTP headers from URI scheme is unreliable (see the bug report below)
* There are already feature requests for this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231564

After this patch is landed, https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231564 will be completely fixed.
