1332356 - SVG data URI with hash fails to parse, yet does so in Blink/Webkit.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Thomas Wisniewski]

A non-base64-encoded data URI containing an SVG document with a # character does not parse in Firefox. For the example URL given, this is shown when placing it in the URL bar:

>XML Parsing Error: unclosed token
>Location: data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg%20xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle%20fill="#000"%20cx="60"%20cy="60"%20r="50"/></svg>
>Line Number 1, Column 41:<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle fill="
>----------------------------------------^

Edge also fails to parse the data URI, but Blink and WebKit do parse it, making this a web compat issue.

I'm not sure if it's something we should fix or the other engines should, but I suspect it may be related to bug 658949.

That's a blink/webkit bug. They don't handle fragment identifiers properly.
