[Touch-packages] [Bug 1503332] Re: Blank page when access to local URL (file://…) is denied
I had a quick look at how we can detect that access was denied, and it seems that the only difference with a normal load sequence (load started, load committed, load succeeded) is that the HTTP status code is always 0 for all events in the sequence. A "load succeeded" event with an HTTP status code of 0 might be enough to indicate that access was denied, need to double check. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1503332 Title: Blank page when access to local URL (file://…) is denied Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since version 0.23+15.10.20151005-0ubuntu1, webbrowser-app is running under apparmor confinement.

Discussed the design side of things with James, and his guidance is to use the standard error page for this case, which should come for free once oxide reports a failed load. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1503332 Title: Blank page when access to local URL (file://…) is denied Status in Oxide: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since version 0.23+15.10.20151005-0ubuntu1, webbrowser-app is running under apparmor confinement.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1503332] Re: Blank page when access to local URL (file://…) is denied
It doesn't look like net::URLRequestFileJob does an access check or handles that condition. However, net::FileProtocolHandler delegates an access check to net::NetworkDelegate (via OnCanAccessFile), and it looks like that can be used to fail the load.

Ignore that - this should result in a failed load already.
