Summary: supported URL schemes in open()
Product: WebAppsWG
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: XHR 1.0

I would like to have clearer language for URLs regarding their supported
<scheme> component.
I.e. I would like it to be clear from the draft what happens if you use any of
the following:
"mailto:[email protected]";
"about:blank"
"tag:example.org"
"tel:+316..."
"data:text/html,..."
My preferred solution would be to throw unless the URL scheme is one of a
whitelist which contains:
http
https
ftp
file (implementation specific, must throw a SYNTAX_ERR if the current scheme
is not file)
We can add to this whitelist in the future, such as the blob URL scheme.
