we don't have any plans to support the JAR protocol.  it turns out to have a
lot of complex and fragile security implications because it is a nested
protocol (security policy depends on the inner URL).  it took a long time to
iron out those issues in mozilla, and i would be very fearful of trying to
teach webkit to deal with the same.  that said, patches are always welcome
if you can come up with good solutions to these problems that won't be too
fragile / difficult to maintain.
by the way, i really like the utility of the JAR protocol too.
