1366734 - Implement webkitURL legacy window alias for URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1366738

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Simon Pieters [:zcorpan]]

See
https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/135

If there's any objection to implementing webkitURL in Gecko I suppose we can try to get it removed from WebKit/Chromium/EdgeHTML...

If you're OK with this, please say so so that the spec change and test can be merged. :-)

I feel like Anne is best positioned to answer this but he's on vacation. Maybe baku has thoughts or can channel Anne's?

Yes, we want to implement [LegacyWindowAlias]. Temporary solution would be to use NamedConstructor.

I'll file a separate bug for [LegacyWindowAlias].

I think that's bug 1366738.

I suggest we wait until we have LegacyWindowAlias since it's a) trivial and b) we might hit compat issues so it's better to have the right fix from the start.

It seems that this was implemented in bug 1366738.
