// implemented by the embedder.
//
// One of these objects will be created by WebKit for each request. WebKit
// will own the pointer to the bridge, and will delete it when the request is
// no longer needed.
//
// In turn, the bridge's owner on the WebKit end will implement the
// RequestPeer interface, which we will use to communicate notifications
// back.
