Enable opening pop-up windows for authentication

[mstroeck]

I have not been able to get any app to work that uses, for example, my Google account for login. This makes WebShell pretty much unusable for me, and I guess for quite a lot of people

Oh I see your point. I will think about it.

I'm having the same problem. Tried to setup Asana, but I can't log in.

@wdg have any ideas about it?

Yes, i will take a look for injecting popups as well as a web hook.
The only challenge is to return the cookies/session/data, since web views can't be linked. since we can use NSUserDefaults sync this is not a problem

i know a proper solution to grab the cookies, and sessions, but to inject it before the web view will load is the only challenge., After some research this is not a problem if we'll sync.

@djyde we'll need to use some command line arguments, i've made a (little) proof-of-concept

Research part:

Swift code

override func viewDidLoad() {
    ....

    let args = [String](Process.arguments)
    print(args)
}

Command line

wdg@WebShell$ (snip)/WebShell.app/Contents/MacOS/WebShell -width=12 -height=20 -init=0,5

Swift printing:

["(snip)/WebShell.app/Contents/MacOS/WebShell", "-width=12", "-height=20", "-init=0,5"]

Analyse of cookies with:

    let cookieList : NSHTTPCookieStorage = NSHTTPCookieStorage.sharedHTTPCookieStorage()
    for cookie in cookieList.cookies! as [NSHTTPCookie]{
        NSLog("%@", cookie)
    }

returns all the saved cookies however we'll need to use NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize() for Synchronize for further use when opening a new window, and closing a window. to be safe that we'll not destroy/missing a cookie when opening a popup

This all is possible, and then there is a big need to fix #23 since a lot of websites still uses iframes, but i'm not yet know a solution for it.

It seems a thorny problem.
