2067248 - Setting homepage using | (vertical bar) no longer works with new schema

Status: ASSIGNED

(Firefox :: Enterprise Policies, defect)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

You used to be able to set multiple homepage with the | bar.

Not the best way, but for compatibility, we should try to keep it.

Attachment: Bug 2067248 - Validate policy URLs with the URL parser rather than RFC 3986. r=bsmth

The url definitions in the policy schema use "format": "uri", which the
compliant validator implements as the RFC 3986 grammar. The previous validator
accepted whatever new URL() accepted, so URLs that administrators have always
been able to set are now rejected:

• pipe-separated homepage lists, "https://a.example/|https://b.example/"
• IDN hosts, "https://münchen.example/"
• non-ASCII paths, "https://a.example/über"
• paths, queries and fragments containing a space, "{", "}", "^", "|" or a
  double quote

Add a "moz-url" string format backed by URL.canParse and point the url,
urlOrEmpty and origin definitions at it. Validators that do not know the format
ignore it, so the schema still drives external tooling.
