Description

Hi,

Trying to implement OAuth for a custom OAuth provider. The token that is returned contains Base64 encoded information which is lost as the event.url from the InAppBrowser amends the redirect url to lowercase. In this case the redirect url has ;token=<token> appended to it. The below code replicates...

public secureDataLogin(): Promise<any> {

      return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {

          let csrf: string = uuid.v4();
          var url = 'http://111.111.11.111:8080/auth/oauth/2' + '?response_type=token&csrf=' + csrf + '&redirect_uri=' +  'http://www.google.com' + '&scope=profile&client_id=a1aaaaaa-123a-132a-1a11-ab12345678ab';
          var browserRef = window.cordova.InAppBrowser.open(url, "_blank", "location=no");

          browserRef.addEventListener("loadstart", (event) => {

              if ((event.url).indexOf('http://www.google.com') === 0) {
                  browserRef.removeEventListener("exit", (event) => {});
                  browserRef.close();
                  
                  // would decode and process the token data here

                  console.log(event.url);
              }
          });
          browserRef.addEventListener("loaderror", (event) => {
            console.log('*ERROR*' + event.type + ' - ' + event.message);
          });
          browserRef.addEventListener("exit", function(event) {
            console.log("Browser exit called");
          });
      });
  }

Cheers
Martin
