Hi all,
On the topic of dataTransfer.setData, there seems to be a small
inconsistency between browsers when it comes to leading new-lines.
e.g., dataTransfer.setData("text/uri-list", "\nhttp://foo";) followed
by dataTransfer.getData("URL").
Mozilla returns an empty string (see http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.9.2/source/content/events/test/test_dragstart.html
line 271), while e.g., Chromium returns "http://foo";.
Now, the HTML5 spec says:
If the format (after conversion to lowercase) is "url", then the
data associated with the "text/uri-list" format must be parsed as
appropriate for text/uri-list data, and the first URL from the list
must be returned. If there is no data with that format, or if there
is but it has no URLs, then the method must return the empty string.
Which I read that the Chromium result is correct (not surprisingly,
since I wrote the code ;) ). However, inconsistency is never good,
so what would you folks think about this (and what would be the
correct Mozilla ML to raise this question)?
text/uri-list is a newline-separated list, right? In which case the
first URL in the list above is the empty string, and therefore
Mozilla's behavior is right.

Maciej
