295279 - provide origin charset of original URI to error page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Christian Persch (GNOME) (away; not receiving bug mail)]

I want to provide my own error page implementation instead of using the mozilla
ones. The original URI is provided to the error page in the query string, but
not the origin charset of the original URI. The origin charset is needed to
unescape the address.

The origin charset could simply be provided in the query string too.

This leaks; escapedCharset is never freed.

Free the escaped charset after use.

This is a simple addition for embedders who want to override the error pages.
There's no risk, since error pages are not enabled by default.

I thought we were getting rid of this query-string passing, myself, but that
doesn't affect the merits of this when-in-rome patch. a=shaver
