Andrew Lunny commented on CB-362:
---------------------------------
I talked with Shaz about this offline; here's a summary of what I think
* we should have an API function for "open page in browser" that ignores the
whitelist entirely. Links to whitelisted domains should open in the webview.
* (more contentious) I think links to untrusted domains should always launch
the browser. If you don't like this, use ChildBrowser to intercept the
click/touch events, or don't put links to untrusted domains in your app.
* ignore target and UIWebViewNavigationTypeOther. A lot of extra complexity,
and it won't work cross platform anyway
* all iframe/XHR calls should be locked to the whitelist. This change would
only affect "a" tags.
> [ios] target="_blank" links should open in browser (ignoring externalhosts)

> A link such as this:
> {noformat}<a href="http://google.com"; target="_blank">Google</a>{noformat}
> should open by default in the device's web browser, without being explicitly
> allowed in the plist (externalhosts).
> This is the current (and, imo, expected) behaviour on Android.
