Hello,

somehow it isn't possible for webkit to load other files on the filesystem when using webkit_web_view_load_[html_]string, since some strange new security policy forbids this in the browser oO".

I've "fixed" this problem by creating temporary files on the filesystem and loading them with webkit_web_view_open(...). Using this method webkit actually embeds external files like .css-files or images.

The patch is attached below.

whoops, there are still some issues if the conversion name contains some '/' (slashes). Hopefully the attached patch fixes all those issues.

I've investigated on this bug again and found a really simple solution, which I've attached in the patch. The fix also includes the more recent signal "navigation-policy-decision-requested" instead of the depricated "navigation-requested".

thank's a lot

it's works very well with pidgin 2.5.5 and webkitgtk-svn

@naxat88 - webkit_web_view_load_html_string is also deprecated, and I don't think this fix is correct - why is "file:///tmp" the baseuri?? Also, the return from navigation-policy-decision-requested is only meant to be TRUE if a policy decision has been made.

So, I learned some webkit and gtk today ;)

I've commited the proposed changes to lp:~spoidar/pidgin-webkit/karmic-fixes (see related). Please test and comment on those changes - I'm not entirely sure they're correct, or whether something else should be happening, but they're working for me here.

@pdffs I like to revive this. Where is your branch? It seems it got deleted. Can you republish or put it on github?

@khurshid-alam long gone I'm afraid (this was nearly 7 years ago). I don't use pidgin now in any case.
