Replace the frontend-facing Vector<String> flow with structured
AutocompleteSuggestion objects carrying source, section, title,
and favicon metadata.
Build merged history and literal-URL rows in LibWebView, deduplicate
equivalent URL suggestions, move the autocomplete URL helpers out
of URL.h, and update the history and URL tests around the new model.
Teach LibWebView autocomplete to query HistoryStore before falling back
to remote engines and move the wiring out of the AppKit frontend.
Refine matching so scheme and www. boilerplate do not dominate results,
short title and substring queries stay quiet, and history tracing can
explain what the ranking code is doing.
The end goal here is for LibHTTP to be the home of our RFC 9111 (HTTP
caching) implementation. We currently have one implementation in LibWeb
for our in-memory cache and another in RequestServer for our disk cache.
The implementations both largely revolve around interacting with HTTP
headers. But in LibWeb, we are using Fetch's header infra, and in RS we
are using are home-grown header infra from LibHTTP.
So to give these a common denominator, this patch replaces the LibHTTP
implementation with Fetch's infra. Our existing LibHTTP implementation
was not particularly compliant with any spec, so this at least gives us
a standards-based common implementation.
This migration also required moving a handful of other Fetch AOs over
to LibHTTP. (It turns out these AOs were all from the Fetch/Infra/HTTP
folder, so perhaps it makes sense for LibHTTP to be the implementation
of that entire set of facilities.)
For example, Google uses ISO-8859-1 encoding. This patch allows us to
decode such responses, falling back to UTF-8 if a Content-Type was not
specified or could not be parsed. We should also now handle if decoding
fails, rather than crashing inside JsonParser.
This implements an autocomplete engine inside LibWebView, to replace the
engine currently used by Qt. Whereas Qt uses the Qt Network framework to
perform autocomplete requests, LibWebView uses RequestServer. This moves
downloading this untrusted data out of the browser process.
This patch only implements the persisted settings and their UI. It does
not integrate this engine into the browser UI.
