Hooray! i'm pleased to announce that with the latest push i am now able to run a very non-trivial application without any apparant breakage (thanks Lex for borrowing me said application ;-). it was annoying, and i'm pretty sure i overlooked something that would have made it 100x simpler, but i essentially implemented 90% of the XMLHttpRequest Level 2 spec ... before realizing some hours later that we only use the very basic, what amounts to Level 1 i guess ... oh well. instead of putzing around with JS/etc/etc i decided to just use libsoup directly, which worked fantastic. i am able to acquire a ref to the defualt soup session used by all of webkit, then simple make network calls from that ... this is safe because they are part of the same main loop. this also means i can probably implement timers properly, as i forgot about the 127 other gobject-introspection libraries at my disposal ... anyways, history is still a little broken, XMLHttpRequest is synchronous-only right now (not that you even notice locally though) ... there are no technical challenges remaining, only tedious cleanup/polish. so check it out! it's very fast, and nicely covers a lot of ground (navigator object among many others) without any help from me -- the dynamic alias system will Just Work as new features roll out -- aside from window.location and XMLHttpRequest, i did not need to special case anything else. it needs some more days before merging, but it now implements everything needed to start and RUN *any* app ... should this not be the case, please LMK asap. thanks! -- C Anthony --
