I have a strange problem.
I have an App in which i provide a shortcut to open a specific webpage. this website has serveral version on how it is configured. The website can be reachable via https or https, with or without a passwordprotection (std. http-auth).
Im using this snipped to open the Browser:
Using java Syntax Highlighting
- Uri uri = Uri.parse(profile.buildURL());
- context.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri));
Parsed in 0.030 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4
profile.buildURL() return a string in following type:
- http://hostname:port
- http://user:password@hostname:port
- https://hostname:port
- (not working) https://user:password@hostname:port
The first three are working, but the last one not
It opens he browser like the first three, but then theres a popup in witch i have to enter the username and password.
Is it not supported by HTTPS at general to provide username/password in the url or is it a bug in the serverstack or in android?
regards
3c
