When NetworkService is enabled requests created using CefFrame::CreateURLRequest
will call CefRequestHandler::GetAuthCredentials for the associated browser after
calling CefURLRequestClient::GetAuthCredentials if that call returns false.
This change moves the SendProcessMessage method from CefBrowser to CefFrame and
adds CefBrowser parameters to OnProcessMessageReceived and
OnDraggableRegionsChanged.
The internal implementation has changed as follows:
- Frame IDs are now a 64-bit combination of the 32-bit render_process_id and
render_routing_id values that uniquely identify a RenderFrameHost (RFH).
- CefFrameHostImpl objects are now managed by CefBrowserInfo with life span tied
to RFH expectations. Specifically, a CefFrameHostImpl object representing a
sub-frame will be created when a RenderFrame is created in the renderer
process and detached when the associated RenderFrame is deleted or the
renderer process in which it runs has died.
- The CefFrameHostImpl object representing the main frame will always be valid
but the underlying RFH (and associated frame ID) may change over time as a
result of cross-origin navigations. Despite these changes calling LoadURL on
the main frame object in the browser process will always navigate as expected.
- Speculative RFHs, which may be created as a result of a cross-origin
navigation and discarded if that navigation is not committed, are now handled
correctly (e.g. ignored in most cases until they're committed).
- It is less likely, but still possible, to receive a CefFrame object with an
invalid frame ID (ID < 0). This can happen in cases where a RFH has not yet
been created for a sub-frame. For example, when OnBeforeBrowse is called
before initiating navigation in a previously nonexisting sub-frame.
To test: All tests pass with NetworkService enabled and disabled.
The optional |extra_info| parameter provides an opportunity to specify extra
information specific to the created browser that will be passed to
CefRenderProcessHandler::OnBrowserCreated() in the render process.
Implementation notes:
- Chromium change: CookieMonster::SetCookieableSchemes needs to be called
immediately after the CookieMonster is created in NetworkContext::
ApplyContextParamsToBuilder. Add a Profile::GetCookieableSchemes method and
NetworkContextParams.cookieable_schemes member (set from
ProfileNetworkContextService::CreateNetworkContextParams) to support that.
- Chromium change: Add a ContentBrowserClient::HandleExternalProtocol variant
that exposes additional NetworkService request information.
- GetResourceResponseFilter is not yet implemented.
API changes:
- Resource-related callbacks have been moved from CefRequestHandler to a new
CefResourceRequestHandler interface which is returned via the
GetResourceRequestHandler method. If the CefRequestHandler declines to handle
a resource it can optionally be handled by the CefRequestContextHandler, if
any, associated with the loading context.
- The OnProtocolExecution callback has been moved from CefRequestHandler to
CefResourceRequestHandler and will be called if a custom scheme request is
unhandled.
- Cookie send/save permission callbacks have been moved from CefRequestHandler
and CefResourceHandler to CefResourceRequestHandler.
- New methods added to CefResourceHandler that better match NetworkService
execution sequence expectations. The old methods are now deprecated.
- New methods added to CefRequest and CefResponse.
Known behavior changes with the NetworkService implementation:
- Modifying the |new_url| parameter in OnResourceRedirect will no longer result
in the method being called an additional time (likely a bug in the old
implementation).
- Modifying the request URL in OnResourceResponse would previously cause a
redirect. This behavior is now deprecated because the NetworkService does not
support this functionality when using default network loaders. Temporary
support has been added in combination with CefResourceHandler usage only.
- Other changes to the request object in OnResourceResponse will now cause the
request to be restarted. This means that OnBeforeResourceLoad, etc, will be
called an additional time with the new request information.
- CefResponse::GetMimeType will now be empty for non-200 responses.
- Requests using custom schemes can now be handled via CefResourceRequestHandler
with the same callback behavior as builtin schemes.
- Redirects of custom scheme requests will now be followed as expected.
- Default handling of builtin schemes can now be disabled by setting
|disable_default_handling| to true in GetResourceRequestHandler.
- Unhandled requests (custom scheme or builtin scheme with default handling
disabled) will fail with an CefResponse::GetError value of
ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME.
- The CefSchemeHandlerFactory::Create callback will now include cookie headers.
To test:
- Run `cefclient --enable-network-service`. All resources should load
successfully (this tests the transparent proxy capability).
- All tests pass with NetworkService disabled.
- The following tests pass with NetworkService enabled:
- CookieTest.*
- FrameTest.* (excluding .*Nav)
- NavigationTest.* (excluding .Redirect*)
- RequestHandlerTest.*
- RequestContextTest.Basic*
- RequestContextTest.Popup*
- RequestTest.*
- ResourceManagerTest.*
- ResourceRequestHandlerTest.* (excluding .Filter*)
- SchemeHandlerTest.*
- StreamResourceHandlerTest.*
Under ARC (Automatic Reference Counting), assigning to an Objective-C
pointer has different semantics than assigning to a void* pointer.
This makes it dangerous to treat the same memory address as an
Objective-C pointer in some cases and as a "regular C pointer" in
other cases.
This change removes the conditional type defines and instead uses
void* everywhere. Explicit type casting in combination with ARC
annotations makes it safe to get typed Objective-C pointers from the
void* pointers.
This change enables ARC by default in the CEF binary distribution CMake
configuration for the cefclient and cefsimple sample applications. It can be
disabled by adding `-DOPTION_USE_ARC=Off` to the CMake command line.
ARC is not supported when building Chromium due to the substantial
number of changes that would be required in the Chromium code base.
This change adds a new CefSettings.root_cache_path value that must be either
equal to or a parent directory of all CefSettings.cache_path and
CefRequestContextSettings.cache_path values. The sandbox may block read/write
access from the NetworkService to directories that do not meet this requirement.
To test: Run cefclient with a combination of the following flags:
--cache-path=c:\temp\cache
Cache data should be persisted to the specified directory.
--request-context-per-browser
A separate numbered cache directory should be created underneath the
cache-path directory for each new browser instance.
--enable-network-service --disable-extensions
Same tests, but with NetworkService enabled.
Known issues:
- When NetworkService is enabled a C:\temp\cache\cache\Cache directory is
created (should be C:\temp\cache\Cache).
This change removes cookie and request handler functionality that will not
supported by the NetworkService. Specifically, it is no longer possible to
change cookie storage locations at runime by returning a different
CefCookieManager for an already initialized CefRequestContext. After this change
you will need to use a separate CefRequestContext when creating a CefBrowser if
you require separate cookie storage.
The following methods have been removed:
- CefCookieManager::CreateManager
- CefCookieManager::GetBlockingManager
- CefCookieManager::SetStoragePath
- CefRequestContextHandler::GetCookieManager
The following methods have been renamed:
- CefRequestContext::GetDefaultCookieManager to GetCookieManager.
This change substantially simplifies the network implementation in CEF because
it is no longer necessary to proxy objects that are normally owned by Chromium.
Chromium patches that are no longer necessary will be removed as a follow-up
commit.
To test: Verify that `ceftests --gtest_filter=-PluginTest.*` pass with
NetworkService disabled. Plugin tests will be fixed in a follow-up commit.
- Implement multi-tree support (e.g. page with iframes contains several trees)
- Implement OnAccessibilityLocationChange support
- Add scroll offset calculation
- Fix new Chromium tree layout parsing
- Fix uninitialized OsrAXNode::offset_container_id_
- Fix Windows non ascii AxName, AxValue, AxDescription representation
- Windows: 10.0.17763.0 SDK is now required.
- Mac: 10.13 SDK is now required.
- Removed CefRequestContext::ResolveHostCached which is no longer supported by Chromium.
- The |category| value for all TRACE calls from CEF client applications is now
"cef.client" due to https://crrev.com/331266377d.

https://crrev.com/7f7e382118.
