Please note, from one of my previous mails:
"WebKit does not manage browser history, so that's up to the browser and has nothing to do with WebKit. Clearing history works fine in Epiphany, for example."
Epiphany stores its history in SQLite. Other browser may do other things. WebKit does not have any feature for saving or managing persistent history, it's entirely up to the browser. Most applications using WebKit are actually not web browsers, and don't want any history at all.
Also, from one of my mails that did not make it to the list, because the list had been taken off CC:
"Clearing the history of the back/forward list is a security requirement? What is your use-case for this; what are you really trying to do? The back/forward list is transient session state that goes away when you destroy the web view. It's not persistent (unless you deliberately save and restore it using WebKitWebViewSessionState) and it's not tied in any way to the actual history functionality of web browsers that use WebKit."
