CB-10897 Refactor URI Parsing for Whitelist
Fix for CB-10897.
I moved out the code that parses the 'origin' from the whitelist to a
separate function so that it can also be used to parse the URLs that request
access instead of using Android's Uri class parse function. Android's Uri parse
function does not parse 'host' the same way that Cordova parses the host in
origin for whitelist, so host ends up being null and the comparison fails.
Using the same parsing methods is the way to go to give accurate comparisons of
URLs to those in the whitelist.
Also, I can have specific non http/https URLs in my whitelist now.
Something like this works now without the wildcard:
<allow-intent href="market://details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps" />

CB-10897 Refactor URI Parsing for Whitelist

> Key: CB-10897
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10897
> Project: Apache Cordova

> Components: Plugin Whitelist
> Affects Versions: Master

> In config.xml when I whitelist specific non http or https URLs such as
> {code}<allow-intent href="mailto:[email protected]"; />{code}
> and in index.html I add a link with that specific URL,
> {code}<a href="mailto:[email protected]";>mailto link</a>{code}
> I cannot access the link when I run the application. If I change the
> allow-intent to use a wildcard, *, I can get it to work.
> {code}<allow-intent href="mailto:*"; />{code}
> The expected behavior is that I should be able to specify an exact URL in the
> whitelist, but I am not able to. I investigated the Whitelist plugin and
> Whitelist.java in cordova-android and I found the issue.
> First I looked at the whitelist itself. URLs from config.xml are added to the
> whitelist correctly. No problems here.
> Next I looked at how the URL from index.html is being compared to the
> whitelist. I traced through with the Android Studio debugger and found this:
> At [Line
> 85|https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/framework/src/org/apache/cordova/Whitelist.java#L85]
> of Whitelist.java in cordova-android, there is actually a
> NullPointerException happening, but it didn't get printed out with the Log :(
> (this needs to be fixed). I made some modifications to Whitelist.java so that
> the stack trace gets printed out, along with with values of 'host'.

> Whitelist host is correct, so that got parsed correctly, but the Uri host is
> not correct, it is null. We try to call host.matcher(null).matches with a
> null object and therefore got the NPE.
> Working backwards from here, the issue stems from Android's Uri class parsing
> the URL. At [Line
> 158|https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/framework/src/org/apache/cordova/Whitelist.java#L158]
> of Whitelist.java, we call:
> {code}Uri parsedUri = Uri.parse(uri);{code}
> Using the debugger, once the uri gets parsed, you'll see that the value of
> 'host' is 'NOT_CACHED'. This is the part where I got lost in Android Uri
> class because it's hard to debug there.
> The conclusion that I came to is that Android's Uri class doesn't parse
> 'host' correctly, but does parse 'scheme' correctly. I also tested market:
> URL and that has the same behavior.
> Android's definition of 'host' is probably different from Cordova's
> definition of 'host' so we should try to use something other than the Uri
> class to parse the URL. Android's definition of 'host' is probably parsed to
> a ':'
> I can try to work on a solution to not use the Uri class to parse.
