As a workaround for this, I override window.XMLHttpRequest with my own class 
that uses document.title to send commands to a notify::title signal callback on 
the python side. Then the python side uses a WebKit.execute_script() call reply 
to the request. For example code, see my commit here:

This allows me use file:/// URIs entirely (removing an http server from my 
app), which greatly reduces page loading overhead. It a little bit ugly, but it 
works very well.
