Regardless of the feature, there's no defined agreement on how it should work when loaded from a file URL. A test author cannot divide "this can load from a file URL" from "this needs to be loaded over HTTP(S)". Except that loading over HTTP(S) always ought to work as that much we've written down in standards. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/ _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
