<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
EphyPermissionManager

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Sets webpages' cookie, image and popup permissions.

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The #EphyPermissionManager keeps a list of websites and their permissions. For
example, the user may want a certain website to display images but block
cookies and popup windows; this could correspond to three entries in the
#EphyPermissionManager.
</para>
<para>
Use ephy_permission_manager_add() to set permissions for a website,
ephy_permission_manager_remove() to remove the permissions, and
ephy_permission_manager_test() to test them. Note that
ephy_permission_manager_test() may return %EPHY_PERMISSION_DEFAULT, which
means the caller might need to find the default permission some other way.
</para>
<para>
The #EphyPermissionManager stores a list of site-specific permissions, but not
defaults. For popups, the default permission is determined by the GConf key
/apps/epiphany/web/allow_popups, which in turn determines Mozilla's
dom.disable_open_during_load preference. For cookies, the GConf key
/apps/epiphany/web/cookie_accept determines Mozilla's
network.cookie.cookieBehavior preference. For images, the default is determined
by Mozilla's network.image.imageBehavior preference.
</para>
<para>
Though the word &quot;host&quot; is used in many function descriptions, Mozilla
does not act as one would expect. Always pass a URL to any functions which
need have a &quot;host&quot; parameter. However, the &quot;host&quot; in an
#EphyPermissionInfo is a simple DNS hostname.
</para>

<!-- ##### SECTION See_Also ##### -->
<para>

</para>

<!-- ##### STRUCT EphyPermissionInfo ##### -->
<para>
Details a specific permission of a specific website.
</para>

@host: The hostname of the website to which this permission applies.
@type: An #EphyPermissionType.
@permission: An #EphyPermission (either allow or deny).

<!-- ##### ENUM EphyPermissionType ##### -->
<para>
Determines what permission we're dealing with.
</para>

@EPT_COOKIE: 
    Permission for the website to store cookies on the user's computer.
@EPT_IMAGE: 
    Permission for the website to show images to the user.
@EPT_POPUP: 
    Permission for the website to open popup windows (using JavaScript).

<!-- ##### ENUM EphyPermission ##### -->
<para>
Determines whether the website is allowed or denied access.
</para>

@EPHY_PERMISSION_ALLOWED: 
    The website is unconditionally allowed to perform the desired action.
@EPHY_PERMISSION_DENIED: 
    The website is unconditionally denied to perform the desired action.
@EPHY_PERMISSION_DEFAULT: 
    The user has not set a preference for this particular website; the
    caller should therefore fall back to default settings.
