Comment (by pulkomandy):
I'm pretty sure BResource allows appropriate error handling.
However, something to keep in mind is that BWebView will ultimately be
used in places other than WebPositive. So, I think the resources should be
stored on the library side (either directly in the library, or as files in
the data/ directory - I think we do this for the stylesheet for FTP and
file:// listings already, and should be doing it for the Web Inspector
resources as well).
Since these will be stored in the haikudepot package, they are normally
read-only, which is a good enough protection against malicious uses. If
you have write access there, you can as well replace the web browser
executable anyways.
Now the decision to make is wether this should be handled directly by
haikuwebkit, and therefore happen in all apps using it, or if it should be
a WebPositive-specific feature, in which case haikuwebkit would just raise
an error to the application, and the application would decide what to do -
embedded HTML error message, alert, embedded native error message (this
doesn't have to be HTML, after all), etc.
There is an implementation for loading stuff from Resources in the Haiku
port of the NetSurf web browser, which may provide some inspiration as
well.
