WebDialog.set_html fails under Safari 5.0.6

TIG

Isn't it that there are three different BUT 'related' .set_ methods?

**WebDialog.set_file** Used to set a *local* HTML file to display in the webdialog. Arguments: filename = The filename for the webdialog file (HTML file). path = (optional) A path to which the filename is relative. Returns: nil Usage: dialog.set_file("C:\\Temp\\mypage.html")

OR
**WebDialog.set_html** Used to load a string of *HTML code* into the webdialog. Arguments: html_string = A string of valid html to display in your webdialog. Returns: nil Usage: dialog.set_html("Hello world!")

OR
**WebDialog.set_url** Used to load a specific *URL* into the webdialog, i.e. it loads a *web-site* into the webdialog. Arguments: url = The URL for a specific web site. Returns: nil Usage: dialog.set_url("http://www.google.com")

They are not meant to be interchangeable

TIG: The problem is that when you use .set_html you do not get access to local resources any more under OSX Safari 5.0.6+.

Dan Rathbun

Ok.. now, both Safari and Chrome use Webkit.

IF (assumption) both implement security polices in a similar way (on Mac via a manifest plist file inside the bundle,) you might compare the settings pre and post Safari 5.0.6.

On Chrome the settings are in file "com.google.Chrome.manifest", so (hoping,) that for Safari, the file would be something like "com.apple.Safari.manifest".

I'm going by the Chrome policy list when I suggest looking for policy "DisabledSchemes", or "SafeBrowsingEnabled", "ImagesBlockedForUrls", "JavaScriptAllowedForUrls", etc. (see the list... or find the list explicitly for Safari.)

P.S. : I wonder if Mac Sketchup changes any of these Safari security policies when it installs, to enable correct use of WebDialogs, ... and by upgrading to a newer Safari version, the policy file is overwritten. (So a comparison of the Safari manifest file, both pre and post Sketchup install, may also be in order.)

have you got an example of .set_html that works on older Safari, I've been going through all my old bits and I can't find an example that ever worked, heres some variations of .set_url and .set_file that all (bar one) work under Safari 5.0.6, I'm not including the files, unless you want them, it's more about the syntax, which is slightly different from 5.0.3 if you use .set_file("file:///...) Safari adds an additional file:/ to the url and reports an error

I'll set these all up on Safari 5.0.3 tomorrow and see how they fair.

I'm purty sure that it's the Sketchup API UI::WebDialog code that prepends all set_file() arguments with "file://", happens on Windows as well.

I tried set_file("file://localhost/path/to/local/file.html")
and got that Sketchup error dialog (I believe it had the Sketchup icon in the upper left of the caption bar,) saying:
' %(#8000BF)[Could not find file: "file://file://localhost/path/to/local/file.html"]'

I would say that method should check to see if the substring is already there before prepending it.

Dan Rathbun

Here's a bug report at Webkit Bugzilla on local file:// handling broken.
Webkit bug #10777
It was reported in 2006 !

The 'reporter' also filed a bug at apple: #4809075
.. because he was unsure if it was Safari, or Webkit; but never got back to his original report and said what happened.
So the status remains: UNCONFIRMED

I tried to log into the apple bug reporter to check on #4809075, but got a login error.

BUT surely that's not really an 'error' ? It's just a logical application of some rules.
The .set_file() method is expecting a file path - like 'C:/temp/myfile.txt'.
The .set_url() method is expecting a url like 'http://www.forums.sketchucation.com' OR 'file:///C:/temp/myfile.txt' if it's a local file path.
The .set_file() method takes its argument and it prepends a hard-coded initial 'file:///' to make it into suitable 'url' friendly code, from the bald file path: this is just like what happens when you try to open a local file with UI.openURL(), which requires that you have added the initial 'file:///' to any local file path etc.

The .set_**html**() method is expecting a some 'html code as text' and this is a more serious issue, to this side one.

webdialog.set_html( 'Hello World<hr><img src="file:///Users/thomas/Desktop/helloworld.jpg" alt="image should be here"><hr>Bye World' )
Very crude example, invalid HTML, but it's the bare bones. The image would load in older Safari.

Never been a problem before... Something must have changed at 5.0.6.

thomthom

.set_file and .set_url isn't really the problem here. They both work the same as pre-5.0.6 as far as I can tell.

.set_html is the core of the problems.

Meaning, you have upgraded Safari a number of times in the past, without causing adverse effects on Sketchup WebDialogs ??

Dan Rathbun

And can someone check the Apple Bug site.. to see if anyone else has filed a local resource regression bug for 5.0.6 ??

TIG

Could this be the 'security update' that's messing it up?
@unknownuser said:

WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0.6 has improper libxslt security settings, which allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files, and consequently execute arbitrary code, via a crafted web site. NOTE: this may overlap CVE-2011-1425.

Dan Rathbun

Refering to my earlier post on Security Policies, I went thru the Apple Developer Library, and the Webkit.org docs, looking for a similar policy list to the Chrome list. Could not find anything. (Sheesh.. I hate that Apple website, so hard to find anything.)

Has anyone checked to see if Safari has a manifest file like Chrome, with policy settings ??

Yes, at least not in terms of permissions. Updating Safari off course means updated render engine, like when you update IE. But never have I experienced blocking changes like this.

Summary
In order to link to local resources in webdialogs one has to use file:/// prefix.

Problem arise under OSX with Safari 5.0.6 or higher: local resources are not allowed to be accessed any more. Images, CSS and JS will not load. External resources do work though.

What might be happening:
Under windows when you use webdialog.set_html, document.location will report a file located in the user's temp folder.
Under OSX on the other hand, document.location reports about:blank. So it appear to be feeding the HTML to the webdialog differently from Windows.

The current theory to why .set_html fails in 5.0.6 is that a security issue has been closed where about:blank pages where used to gain access to the local resources. Due to the design differences between Windows and OSX .set_html now fails to load local resources.

Workaround
Here is a quick bare bone wrapper class:
%(#BF0000)[Issue

Revision 3

driven

a couple observation while trying to get my head around all of this.

firstly, in Apples and probably Googles eyes the title of this thread should probably be 'WebDialog.set_html finally works as expected under Safari 5.0.6'. It does not appear to be not considered a 'bug', but a security enhancement.

It seems to have been implemented in Safari 4, to stop about:blank pages pirating local files and that some problem/oversite has allowed files:/// and other anonymous url's to work with about:blank pages in SU WebDialog and other WebView apps.

I have a number of html editors and they use temp files written to the relative folder, so if I try to edit index.html (for example) all the links, src's, url's, etc.. all remain relative and are considered safe. if I open the temp from a different folder I get load errors.

Although I know temp files can be anywhere (with corrected links) I think they should be in the originating plugins subfolder if they are unavoidable.

I also think bypassing 'about:blank' completely by having an actual html file that is then updated dynamically is also preferable.

but, since I'm not writing the rubies, time permitting, I'll test whatever you want to try.

I'm implementing a workaround where I manually use a temp file and .set_file into a patch I hope to release very soon.

It seems that at implementation level of .set_html differs from OSX and Windows. Where under Windows they create a temp file and feed that file to the web control. Where under OSX this is not the case, which is why we get about:blank and therefore get affected by strengthens security controls.

Dan Rathbun

That's nice but it will depend on your Library ?

Has anyone logged this with Google ?? I'd think they'd wish to release patches if Safari 5.0.6 will break WebDialogs on all Mac versions.

The only thing you need to implement is TT::System.temp_path which returns the temp directory. Other than that, the code snipped I posted is standalone.

Fixed a small bug in the sample code.
