Web View Dashlet - 3.2

I love the web view option in Share, it's great for letting me integrate some of my other tools into one interface. I do have one problem however. I tried adding an https:// page to webview, and Share automatically prefixes the link with http://, so it ends up as http://https://www.mylink.com. It

Hello,

i think that this work:
var connector = remote.connect("http");
var re = /^(http|https):\/\//;
if (!isDefault && !re.test(uri))
{
uri = "http://" + uri;
}

But for me is more correct check if the string has protocol, whatever it is (http, https, ftp, file, mailto, …), in this case the expression is:
/^[A-Za-z]+:\/\//

Thanks for your reply.
Wouldn't you have to change this - uri = "http://" + uri; - so that it can point to the https URL when it sees https and keep with http if it sees http? Otherwise I think it's just preventing the doubling (http://https://www.mylink.com), not allowing the https (https://www.mylink.com)

It only adds the protocol prefix if the RegExp test fails.

Please raise this as a bug in JIRA - I believe we should support https (I'm not convinced of the other protocols for the WebView dashlet however).

Thanks,
Mike

FYI, I created a JIRA ticket back on the 9th https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-3189 but it hasn't been assigned yet.

The JIRA ticket is still in a "New" state. Is that normal after nearly a month?

Yes, if there's nobody available to assign it to.

Thanks,
