| 04:43 | <annevk> | timothygu: say you have schem://host.com and then set it to http, would you add a path? or you have blob:blah and set to http, what then? I forgot why the reverse is disallowed, might have made things easier for Location or perhaps just for consistency |
| 04:46 | <timothygu> | Is there anything bad about saying "yes" to adding a path? Though it's reasonable to require a host for the non-special URL (else it's a no-op) |
| 04:53 | <timothygu> | annevk: ^^ |
| 04:57 | <annevk> | timothygu: note that the host would also have to be reparsed or some such, they're just not compatible |
| 04:58 | <timothygu> | annevk: oh right… |
| 13:38 | <hsivonen> | The HTML spec has explicit support for a character encoding menu, but only WebKit-based browsers still have it. I think we should just hand-wave it instead of working it into the algorithm. (If we work it into the algorigthm, I think we should write down the security characteristics of Gecko's implemenatation instead of writing down WebKit's approach.) Opinions? |
| 13:40 | <hsivonen> | In Gecko, as far as the algorithm is concerned, there is now a "force detector" flag. |
| 16:27 | <annevk> | smaug: Edgar Chen: timothygu: interesting IDL issue here: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues/31125. It seems that EventHandler should not accept non-callable objects (at least not without them getting wrapped), but in implementations it appears that it does. Am I missing something here? It's hard to believe this was overlooked for so long. |
| 16:42 | <Andreu Botella (he/they)> | I was just looking into that yesterday |
| 16:55 | <annevk> | Thanks. I'm still lost at how to read that IDL conversion thingie, but it does seem the other pieces add up at least |
| 16:57 | <Andreu Botella (he/they)> | The wording is tricky, but it seems to say that, in any case other than [LegacyTreatNonObjectAsNull], converting non-callable objects will throw |
| 17:06 | <annevk> | Yeah, it's coming back to me now. So nice that every five years to a decade you get to learn silly things anew. |
| 17:23 | <annevk> | Thanks a lot for the help! |
