htmlLoad no longer supports dynamic URI parameters due to implementation of allowedHTMLLoadURIs

Description

The example given in https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/htmlLoad example 2 shows the use of URI parameters, for example,

Where the URI is created via script:

This works fine if the URL is pointing at bistudio.com (as seen in BIS_fnc_GUInewsfeed).

However, custom URIs no longer work due to the implementation of allowedHTMLLoadURIs config setting in CfgCommands. For example,

_newsOnline = "http://alivemod.com/alive_news.php?map=" + _map + "&mission=" + _mission + "&player=" + _player;

allowedHTMLLoadURIs seems to only accept fixed URIs and not dynamically generated URIs.

Can we please support URI wildcards? i.e. allowedHTMLLoadURIs += {"http://alivemod.com/alive_news.php*"};

This breaks the ALiVE Newsfeed functionality and any other mod that follows your htmlLoad example 2 as documented in the wiki.

Steps To Reproduce

Edit BIS_fnc_GUInewsfeed to point at a different URL:

Add to config:

CfgCommands {

allowedHTMLLoadURIs += {"http://alivemod.com/alive_news.php"};

};

Try again.

Tupolov set Category to Engine.

Tupolov set Reproducibility to Always.

Tupolov set Severity to None.

Tupolov set Resolution to Fixed.

Tupolov set Legacy ID to 2965805514.May 8 2016, 12:54 PM

Ok, so tested wildcard i.e. (and pleasantly surprised!)

class CfgCommands {

allowedHTMLLoadURIs[] += {
    "http://alivemod.com/alive_news.php*";
};

};

and this appears to work! Thanks!
