Clicking a link, to open in browser, and FSNotes makes a request to the server in the link #1330
Comments
Hi! Very interesting. Can you provide note example? |
Ah, stop, this happens when only click on link? Then is OK. At first click dispatched by WkWebView, then in browser. |
So is this an unintentional behavior or what? I'm confused. Is there anything to prevent this? |
Of course not, it's seems by design in WkWebView. You can find opening method here and track all before: fsnotes/FSNotes/View/MPreviewView.swift Line 136 in c982698

I see so this is just because of the way the click event dispatched by WkWebView. I'm still not sure how I can get rid of this annoying popup by LittleSnitch without just globally allowing all connections to 443 and 80 ports for FSNotes. Thanks for your explanation! |
What's going on if fully block FSNotes from internet? App completely autonomous and not need any access. |
You are right that I can just do that, and I just noticed another app having the same behavior, Mailmate. It probably uses the same WkWebView (to view the email content), and when I click a link in the email, the same happen with LittleSnitch popping up. EDIT: Yup I found this in Mailmate's changelog. A realease back in Dec 2021. I was kinda sure this didn't happen until recently.

Description
When I click a link in a note, it opens in browser (as intended). However, LittleSnitch (a firewall application) reports that FSNotes is trying to make a request to the server in the link.
Something likes this
And this is the popup by LittleSnitch
I wonder why FSNotes seems to make such request? Or it's just a reporting issue from LittleSnitch? I think this happens since the last update or so. I didn't notice it before.
To Reproduce
Expected behavior
The link is handled/opened in the default browser of the system, so there shouldn't be any request to the server in the link made by FSNotes.
FSNotes version
5.3.9
macOS/iOS version
12.3.1
