Hi, I have a client-side webkit-based app that I have developed on the Mac. I render my own HTML and load the display content with the result via a custom protocol handler. This requires that I use the willSendRequest proxy method to intercept URLs and "do the right thing". This can be loading a new page, loading content via an Ajax request, changing the language selection, etc. In general, I catch the URL, call into my library and let it generate the resulting HTML, and replace the original NSURLRequest with a new one that uses my custom protocol and carries the HTML string as additional implementation- specific data. It works really well. On the Mac.
However, we also need it to work really well on Windows. The architecture was designed to facilitate using the native browser control on whatever OS platform we run on. That has turned out to be a big PITA on Windows, so I'm wondering (again) whether it is feasible to use Webkit in our Windows version. Some limitations: 1) My content must be loaded from memory. We won't write anything to disk. 2) I can't rely on Safari being installed. 3) I must be able to install a custom protocol handler. 4) I must get a chance to intercept every URL. The best thing would be a port that has callbacks just like the Apple implementation, but I'm flexible. :-) I have searched this list and read the webkit.org documentation, and I just can't tell what is really possible. I know that Apple hasn't made Webkit generally available for Windows. There seems to be a Windows port using Cairo, etc., but there's no information on using it or what capabilities it supports. There is a QT port, but it's not clear that I can do what I need to do with it. There are others... Can anyone clarify this for me? I would really appreciate it.
