1346936 - Support "SourceMap" header (along with" X-SourceMap")

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, enhancement)

Description

[Florian Scholz (Open Web Docs)]

It looks like bug 765993 introduced the X-SourceMap header.

WebKit also supports just "SourceMap", https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114888

Unsure what Chrome does, but maybe we want to support the unprefixed version, too.

I think we do want to support it.
X-SourceMap is deprecated:

Attachment: Bug 1346936 - support SourceMap header in addition to X-SourceMap;

According to the source map spec, the X-SourceMap header is deprecated
in favor of SourceMap.  This adds support for the newer name.  The test
case is a copy of the X-SourceMap test with the obvious change.

Code-wise, looks great!

Can you please send an intent to ship for this to dev-platform as per https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/ExposureGuidelines?  Thanks!

Do other UAs have this exact behavior (using SourceMap header and ignoring X-SourceMap if that exists, and otherwise falling back to X-SourceMap)?  I'm r+ing based on this assumption.

I'd appreciate if you can please clarify the specifcs in the intent to ship thread.

I found this in chromium:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/third_party/+/master/WebKit/Source/bindings/core/v8/ScriptSourceCode.cpp#57

Still cloning webkit to dig in there, but given the path name, I would assume it does the same.

Thanks for checking!

If you mean the /WebKit/ in the path name, that doesn't mean much of anything any more after Blink forked WebKit.  Not much more than "ns" in our class names meaning NetScape.  :-)

Thanks.  I didn't know how much overlap there might still be.

Webkit does the same, see:

https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/master/Source/WebCore/inspector/PageDebuggerAgent.cpp#L82-L88

I'll send the intent email soon.
