Bug 226760 – Origin is null in http requests when baseURL has custom scheme on iOS 15.0

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Platform

Created attachment 430817 [details]
A demo project and results of iOS 14.5 and iOS 15.0

There is a regression in WKWebView on iOS 15.0. When setting the baseURL of the WKWebView to `custom-scheme://` via webView.loadHTMLString(, baseURL:), the Origin in http request header becomes `null` instead of `custom-sheme://` on iOS 15.0. iOS 14.6 doesn't have this issue.

I have attached a demo project. You can run it with Xcode 12.5 and Xcode 13.0 to see the difference. After attaching inspector, press the "Request data" button. Then you can see the different Origin value in network request.

I have read your change log twice and I still don’t understand this change. It looks suspicious to set the securityorigindata (which is protocol / host / port) right after constructing a security origin with those same protocol / host / port.

I looked at the create() function and it looks like it constructs a url from the components, only to then later on extract the components from the URL :( this is a bit unfortunate. I think your change would probably look better if you did:
auto origin = adoptRef(*new SecurityOrigin);
origin->m_data = WTFMove(*data);

It would also be more efficient.

Looks like the latest Developer Beta 2 (19A5281j) brought this issue back. I got CORS issues (failed preflight request) again.
