> Key: CB-8518
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8518
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin InAppBrowser
> Affects Versions: 0.6.1
> Environment: ios 8.1, tested in ipad air emulator
> Reporter: Achim Staebler
> Assignee: jcesarmobile
> Original Estimate: 1h

> Attempts to open an external url with
> window.open("http://www.apache.org", "_system");
> fail silently. The root cause is line 91, where an absolute URL is constructed from the app's base URL and the url passed to window.open:
> {code}
> NSURL* absoluteUrl = [[NSURL URLWithString:url relativeToURL:baseUrl] absoluteURL];
> {code}
> However, cordova resources are served via file:// scheme, so absoluteURL will be nil in this case. My suggested fix compares the URL's schemes and skips creating a relative url when this clearly does not work:
> {code}
> NSURL* absoluteUrl;
> NSURL* urlTarget = [NSURL URLWithString:url];
> if ([urlTarget.scheme isEqualToString:baseUrl.scheme]) {
> // same protocol, can use relative URL Relative to base
> absoluteUrl = [[NSURL URLWithString:url relativeToURL:baseUrl] absoluteURL];
> } else {
> absoluteUrl = urlTarget;
> }
> {code}
> I'm not submitting this as a pull request because I'm not certain about the portential security implications this native fix might have.
