[webkit-dev] Leading new-line in dataTransfer.setData

[Roland Steiner]

Hi all,

On the topic of dataTransfer.setData, there seems to be a small
inconsistency between browsers when it comes to leading new-lines. e.g.,
dataTransfer.setData("text/uri-list", "\nhttp://foo") followed by
dataTransfer.getData("URL").

Mozilla returns an empty string (see
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.9.2/source/content/events/test/test_dragstart.htmlline
271), while e.g., Chromium returns "
http://foo".

Now, the HTML5 spec says:

    If the format (after conversion to lowercase) is "url", then the data
associated with the "text/uri-list" format must be parsed as appropriate for
text/uri-list data, and the first URL from the list must be returned. If
there is no data with that format, or if there is but it has no URLs, then
the method must return the empty string.

Which I read that the Chromium result is correct (not surprisingly, since I
wrote the code ;) ). However, inconsistency is never good, so what would you
folks think about this (and what would be the correct Mozilla ML to raise
this question)?


Cheers,

- Roland
