Re: 10.4 RSS loading and Crashing error

1.) I've been testing out my app on 10.4 and noticed that when my webview tries to load a page that is an RSS feed (for example, feed://scripts.ign.com/rss/ign.VE3D.2.0.xml), it actually loads up Safari RSS. How do I prevent my webview from loading anything BUT HTTP content? Even sending back a page-failed would be fine - I just want to make sure that it doesn't try to load anything other than http://. Should I just do a basic text filter when loading the url? Or is there a better way to do this?

If this is a Safari RSS view, then it must be within Safari, because the Safari RSS code doesn't exist at all in WebKit; it's in the application. So I assume that what's happening is that the WebView is not handling the URL at all, and your application is passing the URL to Launch Services, which is launching Safari. If so, it should be easy to stop doing this if you don't want to start external URLs at all. You can probably do that by removing code.


If you're seeing Safari RSS content inside your own WebView, then I'm amazed!

2.) I'm encountering a reproducible crash in WebKit. If the first page that I try to load fails, it will crash on the second page load attempt. If the first page I load in the view succeeds, then it doesn't matter how many page loads fail, it always works. I'm loading a whole series of URLs one after the other, and if I quit and re-launch my app, it attempts to load the most recent unloaded page (which is often a failed page from the previous attempt)...so this actually happens quite a bit to me. My guess is that there's something that's not getting initialized and then released, but I have no insight as to what it could be. This happens on 10.3 as well, and doesn't seem to matter what page its trying to load. Here's the stack trace from one of the crashes:

I can't really tell what's going wrong; maybe a WebKit bug. If you can reproduce this same problem with a simple test application, you could file a bug report at <http://bugreport.apple.com>.
