Montyleena commented on CB-3576:
--------------------------------
Should the InAppBrowser obey the SSL rules set by the parent web view? Once, we
overwrite onReceivedSslError() of the main web view and write
handler.proceed(), then even InAppBrowser should allow the locally signed https
URLs.
> Allowing local https links in InAppBrowser
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-3576
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3576
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Plugin InAppBrowser
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0
> Environment: Android and iOS
> Reporter: Montyleena
> Assignee: Steve Gill
> Labels: https, ssl
>
> Local https links are blocked by default in InAppBrowser (links using a local
> SSL certificate which can't be verified by a 3rd party). Ideally, user should
> be given an option to proceed or cancel the request like the default
> desktop/mobile browsers do.
> Can we get this feature in PhoneGap? Other option will be to give a simple
> API/interface to enable users to open such URLs instead of blocking them by
> default.
> Right now, we have to overwrite the following API in Android to access such
> URLs but onReceivedSslError() function gets called only for the main PhoneGap
> window browser and not for InAppBrowser.
> Create a new class:
> public class CustomWebViewClient extends CordovaWebViewClient {
>
> public static final String LOG_TAG = "Plugin";
>
> public CustomWebViewClient(DroidGap ctx) {
> super(ctx);
> Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Constructor!");
> }
> @Override
> public void onReceivedSslError(WebView view, SslErrorHandler handler,
> SslError error) {
> // Ignore SSL errors and proceed
> Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Ignoring SSL certificate errors...");
> handler.proceed();
> }
> }
> In the main class, use this as a web view client
> CordovaWebViewClient webViewClient = new CustomWebViewClient(this);
> webViewClient.setWebView(this.appView);
> this.appView.setWebViewClient(webViewClient);
> And similar type of code needs to be written for iOS.
