This reverts commit b6d8efbebcc0ad1e12bf16f47a173cadfcbf986d. This GLib API is good, but the implentation is not ready, so there's no reason to commit to the API in GLib 2.64. We can reland again when the implementation is ready. There are three problems: (a) The glib-networking implementation normally works, but the test has been broken for a long time. I'm not comfortable with adding a major new feature without a working test. This is glib-networking#104. (b) The WebKit implementation never landed. There is a working patch, but it hasn't been accepted upstream yet. This API isn't needed in GLib until WebKit is ready to start using it. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200805. (c) Similarly, even if the WebKit API was ready, that itself isn't useful until an application is ready to start using it, and the Epiphany level work never happened. Let's try again for GLib 2.66. Reverting this commit now just means we gain another six months before committing to the API forever. No reason to keep this in GLib 2.64 when nothing is using it yet.
