Jamal Johnson updated CB-5657:
------------------------------

    Description: 
If a url has an encoded (or non-encoded) space in it, the URLIsAllowed method 
crashes the app because 

NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@://%@%@", 
kCDVDefaultSchemeName, [url host], [url path]]]; 

returns nil which then crashes on this conditional:

if ([self URLIsAllowed:newUrl logFailure:NO])

I haven't found where exactly the NSURL's path get's decoded, but maybe it's an 
issue internal to iOS when creating the NSURL from the NSURLRequest in 
CDVURLProtocol.canInitWithRequest? At this point:

NSURL* theUrl = [theRequest URL];

theUrl.path does not have the encoding's in the url (ie. %20's are not present).

We have worked around the issue by encoding the path sent to the URLWithString 
method:

NSURL* newUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@://%@%@", 
kCDVDefaultSchemeName, [url host], [[url path] 
stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]];

newUrl is no longer nil and the app doesn't crash
