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 AssignedTo: ann...@opera.com ReportedBy: ann...@opera.com QAContact: member-webapi-...@w3.org CC: m...@w3.org, public-webapps@w3.org 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:f...@example.org" "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. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
