> 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.
