[webkit-help] WKWebView Reports Garbage URL?

[Talus Baddley]

Hi. I’m seeing something very strange, and I’m wondering if anyone’s come across this issue.

Most of the time, -[WKWebView URL] returns an NSURL, filled with, well, percent-encoded garbage data, such as

> %E7%91%A8%E7%81%B4%E3%A9%B3%E2%BC%AF%E6%B9%A5%E7%9C%AE%E6%AD%A9%E6%A5%B4%E6%B9%AF%E7%89%A1%E2%B9%B9%E7%89%AF%E2%BD%A7%E6%A5%B7%E6%A5%AB%E6%90%AF%E6%85%B2%E6%9D%B5%E7%91%A8%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00


As far as I can tell, this isn’t encoding any reasonable, ASCII- or UTF-like representation of a string starting “http.” Interestingly, the number of bytes encoded in this “URL” is the same as that of the UTF-16 encoded actual URL, but there’s that suspicious string of NULs at the end, which makes it seem to me like there’s a haywire pointer somewhere.

The first request in the web view reports the correct, well-formed URL.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks.
