Title:
[webappcontainer] Fix url patterns override from container arg
Status in Web Browser App:
Fix Released
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
There are 2 ways for the webapp-container to receive a list of
patterns to filter url browsing in a webapp container: through the
manifest.json file that comes with a given (named) webapp, or through
the command line.
At the moment, the 2 mechanisms are exclusive in the sense but not
semantically equivalent. The list of url patterns in the manifest.json
file is use as a mean to filter the urls that are being browsed to,
but ALSO in the chromium & FF browsers to know if a webapp is to be
installed/enabled when browsing in a given url.
For example, for Gmail, the hostname mail.google.com is used as a
trigger to ask the user for an installation/enablement of a webapp in
the browser. It is also implicitely used as a filter for browser once
in the container.
The issue is that for applications like google services, the
authentication mechanism is common. So when launched in the container,
the user will be redirected to e.g. https://accounts.google.com or
https://accounts.google.ca, etc.
So, the manifest.json cannot be modified to account for those, since
we dont want to install a webapp from those URLs but we need a way to
add extra navigation url patterns to allow google service webapps to
be redirected to e.g. https://accounts.google.* etc.
