Tom Brückner commented on CB-9485: ---------------------------------- Great, thanks for fixing this in the standard Cordova implementation. That allows me to remove my patch. Looking forward to the next version. > processOpenURL shortens long URLs with ellipsis > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-9485 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9485 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: iOS > Affects Versions: 3.7.0 > Environment: iOS > Reporter: Tom Brückner > Assignee: Jesse MacFadyen > Labels: cordova-ios-4.0.x, processOpenURL > > I'm building a hybrid app and wanted to use the openProcessURL() mechanism to > transfer data from the native side to the webapp. The data consists of a > rather large string. > Here I noticed, that this URL will get shortened using an ellipsis (...) and > thus not transfered correctly to the webapp. > I tracked the problem down to its root cause. The problem is that NSURL > automatically shortens URLs if you are just converting it into a string. This > "feature" is also described here: > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30764851/nsurl-urlwithstring-is-shortening-very-long-strings-with-an-ellipsis-crea > Cordova iOS uses this kind of direct string conversion before the URL is > handed over to the native side. In Cordova 3.7.0 (which I'm using), this > happens in CDVViewController.m (processOpenURL). In the latest Cordova > development branch, the same happens in CDVHandleOpenURL.m (handleOpenURL). > In both cases, the errorneous conversion / shortening is a side-effect of the > call to [NSString stringWithFormat], where the NSURL is handed over as a > string. This causes ellipsis generation. > As described in the stack overflow question linked above, the problem does > not occur if the parts of the URL (e.g. the path or the query) are converted > seperately, and I can confirm that. > To fix the problem, you can replace > NSString* jsString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"if (typeof handleOpenURL > === 'function') { handleOpenURL(\"%@\");}", url]; > with > NSString* jsString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"if (typeof handleOpenURL > === 'function') { handleOpenURL(\"%@\");}", url.absoluteString]; > The .absoluteString retrieves the unaltered URL, this patch worked for me. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
