XMLURL class prevents SSL-capable NetAccessors
----------------------------------------------
Key: XERCESC-1698
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1698
Project: Xerces-C++
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Miscellaneous
Affects Versions: 2.7.0
Reporter: Scott Cantor
Despite the addition of a libcurl-based NetAccessor, which can handle https://
URLs, the XMLURL class prevents it from getting a chance to run when parsing
because it hardcodes the allowable protocols.
This seems like a design flaw. If URL parsing really requires hardcoding
specific protocols and ports, it should be a "known" protocol list, not a list
that automatically blocks unknown protocols. If that isn't possible, then https
should be added at a minimum.
It's not the XMLURL class' job to know what a NetAccessor can handle. If some
kind of capability API is needed, then it should be added to the NetAccessor
interface so the XMLURL class can ask it whether a given protocol will work.
