We need a way to get the WebProcessProxy from WebPasteboardProxy::setPasteboardPathnamesForType so we can use it to check the URL coming from the WebProcess. I suggested just casting the Connection's client to a WebProcessProxy, but Anders said that would become unsafe and I agree. We have a Connection, but WebProcessProxy::didReceiveMessage doesn't forward *this to ChildProcessProxy::dispatchMessage because MessageReceiver::didReceiveMessage doesn't always have something forwarding the message to it. Another solution might be to make a ForwardedMessageReceiver<typename Forwarder> that has a didReceiveMessage that has a reference to the original receiver of the message, but I'm not sure it would be worth it just for this.</pre>
