[Bug 1399601] Re: Ubuntu.Web’s WebView.getUAString() is racy by design
** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: New = In Progress ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu RTM) Status: New = Confirmed ** Also affects: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: See http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-14.10/Ubuntu.Web.WebView /#getUAString-method for documentation. This method is being called by the WebView in Component.onCompleted, and sets the shared context’s default user agent. If the WebView is instantiated with a url set, the first HTTP request is issued before getUAString() is called, and thus potentially with the wrong UA string. This API is racy by design, there’s really no way to fix it. There are currently 2 apps in the store using this API: - com.viclog.2048 - com.viclog.flappybird + com.viclog.2048 + com.viclog.flappybird and 3 more using it with the UbuntuWebView, which is version 0.1 of the API, based on QtWebKit: - com.ubuntu.developer.andrewsomething.stackbrowser - com.ubuntu.developer.daker.x-type - com.ubuntu.developer.fcole90.feedspot + com.ubuntu.developer.andrewsomething.stackbrowser + com.ubuntu.developer.daker.x-type + com.ubuntu.developer.fcole90.feedspot Seeing those relatively small numbers, I think it’s a good opportunity to remove the API altogether, after ensuring that the apps are fixed to not use it. Documentation will need to be updated. + + + UPDATE: as of 2014-12-11, com.viclog.2048 and com.viclog.flappybird have been updated in the store, they no longer use WebView.getUAString(). So effectively no application uses the API, and it should be safe to remove it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1399601 Title: Ubuntu.Web’s WebView.getUAString() is racy by design To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1399601/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Added a utopic task, as apparently this needs to be backported to utopic for the current online docs to be updated (there are no separate docs for RTM, all there is is docs for 14.10, which RTM is based on). ** Also affects: webbrowser-app/utopic Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: webbrowser-app/utopic Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: webbrowser-app/utopic Assignee: (unassigned) = Olivier Tilloy (osomon) ** Changed in: webbrowser-app/utopic Importance: Undecided = High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1399601 Title: Ubuntu.Web’s WebView.getUAString() is racy by design To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1399601/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
