We have many problem in URI unescaping on status bar. See bug 309671 comment 34, bug 153640 and bug 229548. I have some idea. Please wait, I'll attach a proposal patch.

Attached patch Patch rv1.0 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
We have some suggestions. 1. Don't decode the host name by non UTF-8 charset.(See bug 309671) 2. Don't decode the another host's unescaped string if it is not UTF-8. 3. Use charset attribute of a element for the URI origin charset. 4. Decode the URI on each fragments(e.g., Path, Query and Ref).(See bug 229548) 5. Unescape %1B if the charset is ISO-2022-*.(See bug 153640) We have experienced many broken non-ASCII URI that is link to another host. Because we are using document charset for the URI of the link. This is written in HTML4.01 spec. But we should not use this spec. Because in many cases, this is failed to decode. Therefore, we propose to use a[charset] for fix this problem. This attribute specifies the link target document's charst. So, the URI may be encoded by this charset. And now, this attribute is not used on many sites. So, we don't need to mind the regression. But in this patch, if the URI is not having host(e.g., the scheme is "mailto", "javascript"), the URI spec is decoded by current spec.(I.e., in these cases, the process is falled back to old behavior.) And if the URI is not having nsIURL interface, the nsIURI::path is decoded as single fragment.

You test it above, and if it is empty, then you never enter the "else" section. Therefore, why bother testing it again? Did you mean to test |tmp| instead? Also, from a security point of view, maybe we shouldn't unescape the username and password since that may result in changing how the URL would be parsed. For example, consider what happens if the username contains an escaped '/' character. Then, the username would look like a hostname. I notice below that you test for '@', but that doesn't seem to be sufficient to me.

Perhaps you should change unEscapeFullURIForUI to only require the hostname of the originating document or you could even require the originating document itself. It just seems a bit awkward to require the baseURI of the document since there is currently no convenient scriptable API to get that info as a nsIURI without jumping through hoops to construct it as you are doing here. >Index: xpcom/io/nsEscape.cpp >+ // ESC(0x1B) is not skipped for ISO-2022-* even if this flag is true. >+ PRBool skipControl = (flags & esc_SkipControl); ... >- !(skipControl && >+ !(skipControl && !(*p1 == '1' && (*p2 == 'b' || *p2 == 'B')) && OK, is this really the proper thing to do for all charsets?

The charset attribute of <a> is a charset hint for > the resource the <a> points to. Why would it have anything to do with the > charset of the attribute? Same thing for <script> and <link> and so forth. The alternative charset is often same document charset on many site that is not using UTF-8 for query of URI. Therefore, if the linking page's author writes the target document charset in the charset attribute, it and the encoding of URI are much. > Put another way, why is there ever any charset other than the > documentCharacterSet involved? In Japan, the many sites are using Shift_JIS or EUC-JP. So, we have twin standard. Therefore, the many links that target is another host, the URI encoding is not much the linking document charset. So, in many times, we can see the broekn URI on our statusbar...
(In reply to comment #14) > >+ aCharset.Truncate(); > >+ if ((!mNodeInfo->NamespaceEquals(kNameSpaceID_None) && > >+ !mNodeInfo->NamespaceEquals(kNameSpaceID_XHTML)) || > >+ (Tag() != nsHTMLAtoms::a && Tag() != nsHTMLAtoms::link && > >+ Tag() != nsHTMLAtoms::script)) > >+ return; > > What about nsHTMLAtoms::area? See comment 9. the area element doesn't have charset attribute.
So wait. Could we back up and actually explain the problem we're trying to solve? That is, what escapes are we unescaping and how did they come to be escaped?
This is a major case in Japan: A Shift_JIS document links to EUC-JP encoded CGI on another host. In this case, current code unescapes the query by Shift_JIS (i.e., document charset). But my patch doesn't unescape in this case without charset attribute. But this is inconvenience. Therefore, we need a way for specifying the URL encoding. We think that charset attribute is best way.
> A Shift_JIS document links to EUC-JP encoded CGI on another host. Ok. How does it do that? That is, does the actual HTML contain characters? Or URI escapes? This is the "how did they come to be escaped" part of my previous question, more or less; actually answering it would really help.
Sorry. I cannot understand what you said... <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=shift_jis"> </head> <body> <a href="http://example.com/?q=%xx%xx....">jump to another host</a> </body> </html> If the value of href attribute is escaped by EUC-JP if the linked CGI uses EUC-JP, the URI is displayed in statusbar and unescaped by Shift_JIS. I want to solve this problem using charset attribute. I.e., <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=shift_jis"> </head> <body> <a href="http://example.com/?q=%xx%xx...." charset="EUC-JP">jump to another host</a> </body> </html>
> <a href="http://example.com/?q=%xx%xx....">jump to another host</a> OK. So the web site itself is what's doing the escaping. And we have to guess what charset it's escaping from?
(In reply to comment #22) > And we have to guess what charset it's escaping from? It's simple. We need to display the 'correct' unescaped string. E.g., searching query that contains the keywords.
That doesn't answer the question I asked (which was a yes or no question). If you want me to review this, then please do answer the questions I ask? It'll really help. Truly.
Ah, Yes. We have to guess what charset it's escaping from.
So if this is really targeting 1.9, I would prefer to expose some of the nsILink stuff (eg the nsIURI object for the href) on these nodes (see bug 324464 for similar ideas). Then we could just use the origin charset of the URI throughout and be happy. In any case, we should just be using the origin charset of the uri in webshell instead of looking at the content node... More detailed comments hopefully later tonight or on Sunday if that doesn't happen.

I think the safe thing to do here would be a GetAttr() into an nsAutoString followed by a LossyCopy.... Could make the GetAttr be nsGenericHTMLElement::GetAttr to avoid a virtual call, of course.

That's obvious based on reading the code. What this should document is _what_ this is really getting.

It's also not clear whether aBaseURI is allowed to be null whatn aURI is a "link target". Or what will go wrong if it is. So as a consumer of the interface, I would tend to just pass null for the second arg, since there's no obvious reason I should bother getting a different value. >+ * @param aPreferredCharset the preferred charset to convert from. >+ * If this value is empty, this will use >+ * origin charset of aURI. I don't see any consumers that would want a different charset than the origin charset of aURI. In fact, I can't really imagine any situations where we'd want that, so I propose removing this argument. >Index: intl/uconv/src/nsTextToSubURI.cpp >+static PRBool UseEscape(const nsAFlatCString &aCharset) Why UseEscape for these particular charsets?

In any case, see below for why I think this method is not needed. >+nsTextToSubURI::ReplaceFragment(const nsAFlatCString &aCharset, What does this method actually do? That should be documented in the header where it's declared. It's really hard to review whether it does what it's supposed to otherwise... :( >+ aURIPath.Replace(start + 1, aFragment.Length(), tmp); Is there no way we can do something like convert tmp to UTF8, call SetRef (or whaver) on the URI, and then later just convert the whole URI spec from (escaped?) UTF8 to UTF16? Or something? I really don't like this hand-parsing of URI strings; more on this below. >+nsTextToSubURI::UnEscapeFullURIForUIInternal(nsIURI* aURI, nsIURI* aBaseURI, Please document this method in the header. >+ NS_ENSURE_ARG_POINTER(aURI); How could aURI possibly be null here?

I'd rather we didn't do this view-source thing and actually fixed the bug on having a sane API for such "nested" URLs, then made this code use that API. Please file a bug to do that, dependent on whatever the bug on the nested URL API is. I'm pretty sure we have one already. >+ // Canonicalize |charset| And this could go away if aPreferredCharset died, no? That is, is the charset of an nsIURI required to be canonical?

If the latter, that's what the comments should talk about. >+ // XXX this should be removed after bug 278161 is fixed. How's anyone going to know?

I'm also not clear on what "the link" means here or why it's relevant that it has a charset attribute. If you mean that "we should always use the caller-provided charset if there is one", that's a different story. >+ } else if (!aBaseURI) { >+ // We should not unescape because the conversion may fail. Again, we're unescaping no matter what, no? I don't follow this comment. >+ // Should use charset for |aURI| refering to a resource >+ // at the same host as that of |aBaseURI| Why? This is the sort of thing where you need to explain what you're really doing in the comments, not the mechanics of it. In my opinion, of course. That is, why does the unescaping of the URI depend on aBaseURI? Will the request we actually make depend on aBaseURI? I somehow strongly doubt that.... >+ nsCAutoString baseHost; >+ rv = aBaseURI->GetHost(baseHost); >+ NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv); This will break, no? There's no reason that aBaseURI should have a host. It could be a data: URI, or a wyciwyg: URI or a jar: URI or any of a whole bunch of other things that throw when you call GetHost() on them. Or do we want to bail out and use UTF8 for all of those? How do we know? For the rest of this review I'll assume that that's not the behavior we want... >+ if (!shouldUseCharset) >+ charset = NS_LITERAL_CSTRING("UTF-8"); Again, why? >+ // Note that We MUST NOT change(unescape/decode) host name for security. Can you cite a bug here? If not, I think it's worth explaining the security concern in more detail. I, for one, fail to see the problem, assuming that we unescape hostnames for DNS lookup... If we don't, then that's the problem, of course. ;) >+ rv = aURI->GetUserPass(userPass); >+ NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv); This will return failure for data:, jar:, etc URIs. >+ if (userPass.IsEmpty() || userPass.FindChar('%') == kNotFound) { Why bother with the IsEmpty() test? The FindChar() call will return kNotFound if it's empty, I'd hope. >+ rv = aURI->GetPath(fragment); >+ NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv); OK, so that will throw for various URIs. Is that desirable? >+ NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16 path(fragment); >+ >+ nsCOMPtr<nsIURL> url = do_QueryInterface(aURI); >+ if (!url) { >+ if (IsFragmentUTF8(charset, fragment)) >+ AppendUTF8toUTF16(fragment, _retval); >+ else >+ _retval += path; >+ return NS_OK; So let me get this straight. |path| is just |fragment| converted from UTF8 to UTF16. If IsFragmentUTF8 is true, we convert |fragment| from UTF8 to UTF16 and append to _retval. Otherwise we append |path| to _retval. Why are we even bothering with the call to IsFragmentUTF8? We end up doing exactly the same thing no matter what it returns! >+ // reference >+ rv = url->GetRef(fragment); >+ NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv); >+ rv = ReplaceFragment(charset, fragment, '#', path); I'm pretty sure this will break with jar: URIs where the URI to the zip has a ref. Consider for example: jar:file:///home/bzbarsky/jprof.html.zip#x!/jprof.html#y your code will unescape 'y' and replace 'x!/jprof.html#y' with the unescaped version. This is why I commented above about avoiding parsing of URI strings -- you simply don't know exactly how a given URI string will be treated by its protocol handler.... The handling of query and param has the exact same issue. The query case is the most serious -- while there's really no good reason to stick a ref at the end of the zip file URI in a jar: URI (other than to mess with this code, of course), there are _very_ good reasons to stick a query there: if you want the zip file to depend on some params that your server will receive. >+ rv = url->GetFilePath(fragment); >+ NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv); So this will again throw for data:, etc (if they've gotten down here, of course). For jar: this won't throw, but return what you're expecting -- if nothing else, the filePath of a jar: URI doesn't start at position 0 in the path. So it generally seems to me like this code, as written, will only work correctly if aURI is an nsStandardURL.... >Index: intl/uconv/src/nsTextToSubURI.h Please don't add methods without documenting them. >Index: toolkit/components/typeaheadfind/content/findBar.js >+ baseURI = this.makeURI(ownerDoc.location.href, ownerDoc.characterSet); I believe I agree with darin that this is very cumbersome. Further, note that ownerDoc.location.href is not necessarily the same thing as a useful "base URI". Think wycywig: (document.written content) or javscript: or data: document URIs... >+ if (this.mFoundLink.charset) That'll produce a strict JS warning. Not only that, but it seems like this will break if we add a non-HTML link thing that has a |charset| property that has a slightly different meaning.... It'd probably be better to just have an nsIURI accessor for the link URI on links. >Index: xpcom/io/nsEscape.cpp >- PRBool skipControl = (flags & esc_SkipControl); >+ >+ // ESC(0x1B) is not skipped for ISO-2022-* even if this flag is true. >+ PRBool skipControl = (flags & esc_SkipControl); What's ISO-2022-*? Where did it come from? That is, how does this code know that it's dealing with ISO-2022-*? Also, why is 0x1B special? This code deserves a whole lot more in the way of documentation, imo.

Boris: Hi, sorry for the delay. I'm working on this. You said: >>Index: intl/uconv/idl/nsITextToSubURI.idl > >>+#define NS_TEXTTOSUBURI_CID \ >>+{ 0xb5058d64, 0xf289, 0x4d59, \ >>+ { 0x83, 0x3, 0x39, 0xb7, 0x7e, 0xd7, 0x8e, 0xbf } } >> #define NS_ITEXTTOSUBURI_CONTRACTID "@mozilla.org/intl/texttosuburi;1" >> %} > > Is there a bug on moving that out of the IDL? It doesn't belong here. What should I do? NS_TEXTTOSUBURI_CID is used on here. http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/ident?i=NS_TEXTTOSUBURI_CID I think that we need the new file that defines CIDs for each services, right? # http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/intl/uconv/idl/ # all IDL files on intl/uconv/idl are having same issue. If it's so, I think that it's not scope of this bug...
We're doing per-module CID files, yes. And yes, it's not in scope for this bug; I just asked whether there's a bug on it. If not, please file one.

In these days, most websites are written in UTF-8. So, I think that we don't need to take such complicated fix for some websites which still use legacy encoding.
