Non working url in browser widget [message #965924]

Hello,

For some url org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.setUrl does not work. The iframe content is empty but there is no error.
It is possible to reproduce this in controlsdemo, in Browser demo try to set "http://www.google.com", clicking on Go does nothing. Is there a way to have this url working in Browser ?

Best regards,
Arnaud

Hi Arnaud,
it's really interesting. I've tested the Controls Demo as well and you
are right - the www.google.com is not loaded. I don't think that this is
a RAP issue as other absolute URLs are loaded without problem. I will
investigate it when I have time.
Best,
Ivan

This is a browser "feature" and is not specific to RAP, see this site[1] for another example that will fail if you try http://www.google.com. Google is preventing its site from loading in the iframe[2]. I was not aware of this feature before, but it seems to be the same for both IE9 and Chrome at least. On IE you get this message:
Quote:

This content cannot be displayed in a frame

To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame.

Thanks for the info, I was not aware it was possible to prevent a site from beeing load inside an iframe (other than by writing some javascript to achieve this), so I have learned something today. I forgot to test it with IE, only with chome and FF, and they display about:blank instead of an error, that's why I was wondering what's happened.

Best regards,
Arnaud

Hi all,
we are trying to use RAP (2.1) and Browser component to handle applications like GMail ("http://mail.google.com") or our site administration area ("http://www.rcp-vision.com/wp-admin"), but in both cases the message is "This content cannot be displayed in a frame".
How can we solve this problem? Is there some workaround?
Thank you very much

Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,

It seems that you cannot put gmail in an iframe[1]. The browser widget
in RAP uses an iframe and there is not alternative to that.

Hi Ralf,
regarding Gmail we can surrender, but we are having this problem also with other sites.

In general we are trying to understand if RAP Browser can be used to embed a number of third-party web applications.
What specification should they exactly satisfy?

Thank you
Vincenzo

They must be running in an iframe [1]. Applications can prevent
embedding in an iframe by means of JavaScript or an HTTP header, for
examples see [2].
