Overriding 'Not allowed to load local resources'


Hi,

I have a custom webkit based application where I'd like to be able to fetch local media resources from within html pages coming from a server.
Of course when I tried this I ended up with an error 'Not allowed to load local resources'. Is there an easy way to allow this within my own application? As far as I could tell it would require calling FrameLoader::setRestrictAccessToLocal(false) in WebCore which seems to be a bit difficult in itself. If I build WebCore myself and include it in my project and then include FrameLoader I still get errors because of the private headers FrameLoader.h includes. I guess I could keep going down this path and include the private headers folder in WebCore but this doesn't seem like the way to go.

The other option I figured might work would be to create a custom protocol that webkit would think is non-local (say localfile://) and then read the file from the local filesystem myself. Is this the better way to go? This is an app we have complete control over the pages it views so using a custom protocol is doable.

Any other better options I've not considered?


thanks,

todd
