data URIs have parent URL added to them when passed to webview's contextualData

[Michael Sheldon]

If you visit http://mikeasoft.com/~mike/testdata/ you'll see an image which is constructed from a data URI (e.g. data:image/jpeg;base64,<encoded data>)

When requesting this image's URI via "contextualData.href" the returned URI has been treated as if it was a relative link, adding the parent domain and path to it, forming an incorrect URI like:

http://mikeasoft.com/~mike/testdata/data:image/jpeg;base64,<encoded data>

When it should just be returning the data URI:

data:image/jpeg;base64,<encoded data>

Adding udm to the bug because we are doing a workaround in it to deal with this bug there. Ideally udm would only receive a uri of the form 'data:etc..'.

Oh, we really need a proper way in Oxide to do this :/

Note: the workaround in udm shouldn’t be needed any longer, now that the bug has been fixed in webbrowser-app.
