WebKit Demos for Qt4.4

The Qt4.4 Technology Preview 1 is out and webkit is integrated into it. It is the same code as on the public WebKit.git repository, actually the copy in Qt is always a bit behind as we do the development in the public git repository.


After integrating QtWebKit into Qt we needed a small demo application. So we wrote a small browser and the result can be found in demos/browser, an older snapshot can be seen below, and the rsync copy of Qt has a newer and better version. It makes a really good test case for our API and implementation. We see what bits are missing when doing interesting stuff, when trying to login and use webservices we see what is broken. So we started eating our own dog food and most of us enjoy it. This post gets written using this browser and a fully working gmail, flickr is quite near.


I hope you enjoy this small demo application and we will continue to improve this browser, QtWebKit and our Qt4.4 networking stack. So make sure to watch the rsync versions of Qt as it is highly addictive.

What is about plugins? Is flash supported? Does WebKit use Firefox' XEmbed?

And: any chance that KWalletmanager support could be added by a plugin?

I hope some solution is worked out between Webkit and KHTML, well besides staying separate. I understand the KDE developer issues because of Apple secretly forking KHTML to create Webkit. But both KDE and Apple could benefit from some sort of merger. Although I do understand a few KDE devs have become reviewers for Webkit.
