Mikhail T. <mi at ALDAN.algebra.com> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation
<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to kde at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 223668: www/qt5-webkit ES6 Proxy support incomplete
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223668



--- Description ---
The current version of the toolkit advertises the support for ES6 proxying
without being able to fully support it.

This causes failures on complex web-sites such as those of Slack.com, breaking
both the net-im/diligent we already have in the tree and the
net-im/py-scudcloud I'd like to add. See:

   https://github.com/raelgc/scudcloud/issues/594

The patch offered by the maintainer of the webkit fork we use helps solve the
problem:

   https://github.com/raelgc/scudcloud/issues/594#issuecomment-342988247

The actual patch we need is in the comment right after the above, the rest of
the author's change cleans up the tests we do not use.
