            Bug ID: 245538
           Summary: Provide a mechanism for NSAttributedString to extend
                    file access to WebContent process
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit API
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: bfulgham at webkit.org

NSAttributedString in recent Cocoa OS releases makes use of the modern WebKit architecture, and renders HTML content in a separate WebContent process from the main application. This security improvement has created problems when an author attempts to create an NSAttributedString from an HTML String that includes references to files in an application's bundle.

We need a way for WebKit's NSAttributedString extensions to pass file permission to the WebContent process, otherwise the strings cannot be properly rendered.
