Browser: Media Page about stealth HOT 3 CLOSED

After a long day of implementation prototypes, there are a couple of issues using the <source>'s srcset and src attributes, because apparently, at least in Chromium there's a different parsing mechanism for the URL in place.

If there's a <source src="http://what.ever.tld:123/stealth/https://foo.bar/image.png"> URL being used, the second occurance of https:// will get stripped down to a https:/, which does NOT happen the same way in <a href>, <img src> and neither with <audio src> or <video src>.

So, apparently, the URL parser for source elements seems to be using a different parsing mechanism than the other src attributes. As of now, it's unclear whether this is an upstream Chromium bug, or an expected behaviour. There's not a single specification that explicitely describes the URL parsing mechanism; and all HTTP/s proxies out there rely on the possibility of using an https:// somewhere in the path, so I guess Chromium might be broken here.

Additionally, the stealth:media Page needs a browser-widget-Media element which shows a URL input field that changes the content once submitted.

As of f90256b this has been implemented.
