These commands are used for the "Edit As HTML" feature in DevTools. This
renames our existing HTML getter IPC to indicate that it is for outer
HTML. DevTools will need a separate inner HTML getter.
Since cross-site navigation is a pretty frequent task, creating a spare
process is commonplace in other browsers to reduce the overhead of
directing the target site to a new process.
We store this process on the WebView application. If it is unavailable,
we queue a task to create it later.
This requires a couple of amendments to the DOM node serialization.
Namely, we need to include the HTML namespace, otherwise the context
menu item to create a new node is disabled.
This supports evaluating the script and replying with the result. We
currently serialize JS objects to a string, but we will need to support
dynamic interaction with the objects over IPC. This does not yet support
sending console messages to DevTools.
LibDevTools was implicitly including generated IPC endpoints from
LibWebView. This is not a dependency declared in the CMakeLists.txt. So
updates to the IPC file might not have caused the endpoint header to be
regenerated by the time LibDevTools is compiled, resulting in a build
error.
This patch removes that implicit dependency entirely.
We currently receive serialized JSON values over IPC and forward them to
them WebView callbacks, leaving it to the implementations of those
callbacks to parse the strings as JSON objects. This patch hoists that
parsing up to WebContentClient as soon as the IPC message is received.
This is to reduce the work needed for secondary implementations of these
callbacks (i.e. our Firefox DevTools server).
This adds a command line option to enable the DevTools server. Here, we
make the application the DevToolsDelegate to reply to requests from the
DevTools server about the state of the application.
LibWebView now knows how to launch RequestServer and ImageDecoderServer
without help from the UI, so let's move ownership of these services over
to LibWebView for de-duplication.
