Every<\/strong> WebKit-based browser crashes on http:\/\/m.allrecipes.com\/ but only in a Samsung Continuum SCH-i400 phone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am trying to implement a WebView-based browser, mainly for learning purposes (there are way too many on the market, why add one?), and I was impressed by how quickly I could come up with a basic working one. I tested it on numerous sites on my Samsung Continuum<\/code> phone and they all worked flawlessly, except for<\/strong> m.allrecipes.com<\/code> .<\/p>\n

Whenever I tried to load that web page, I received the following NullPointerException:<\/p>\n

E\/AndroidRuntime(3147): FATAL EXCEPTION: http10\nE\/AndroidRuntime(3147): java.lang.NullPointerException\nE\/AndroidRuntime(3147):     at android.net.http.CertificateChainValidator.doHandshakeAndValidateServerCertificates(CertificateChainValidator.java:194)\nE\/AndroidRuntime(3147):     at android.net.http.HttpsConnection.openConnection(HttpsConnection.java:308)\nE\/AndroidRuntime(3147):     at android.net.http.Connection.openHttpConnection(Connection.java:358)\nE\/AndroidRuntime(3147):     at android.net.http.Connection.processRequests(Connection.java:219)\nE\/AndroidRuntime(3147):     at android.net.http.ConnectionThread.run(ConnectionThread.java:113)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Unable to find an explanation for this in my code, I tried to see how other browsers behave, on this Samsung Continuum<\/code> phone, when accessing m.allrecipes.com<\/code>:<\/p>\n
The findings were very interesting: Dolphin, Opera, iBrowser and others had no problem<\/strong> whatsoever.<\/p>\n
But Free Private Browser, Voice Browser and Easy Browser all crashed immediately upon accessing m.allrecipes.com<\/code> with the same exact stack trace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Thus, this problem is very easy to reproduce, if you can lay your hands on a Samsung Continuum SCH-i400<\/code> unit.<\/p>\n
I know that the quickest and easiest way to solve this problem is by either using a different browser or getting rid of my phone. But I am looking to understand<\/strong> the source of the problem, because it may point out to potential problems down the road when using WebKit<\/code>, possibly on other phones as well.<\/p>\n
So my questions are basically:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. What in m.allrecipes.com<\/code> is so special that it triggers this WebKit+Continuum<\/code> bug?<\/li>\n
  2. What in Samsung Continuum SCH-i400<\/code> is so special that it fails only on this website and only with a WebKit-based browser?<\/li>\n
  3. What in WebKit is so special that it doesn’t like the combination of Continuum+allrecipes.com<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  4. Are there additional websites that trigger this behavior?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Adding the log from Free Private Browser per @sarnold’s suggestion:<\/p>\n

    1. \n
      BTW, I presume that your Continuum is still running Android 2.1.<\/p>\n
      \n
      What in m.allrecipes.com is so special that it triggers this WebKit+Continuum bug?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      In the Android 2.1 emulator, I get a “This certificate is not from a trusted authority” dialog, but it does not crash. Android 2.1 probably does not support the root certificate for StartCom (which, if I am reading this correctly, is the authority in question).<\/p>\n
      According to this issue, StartCom’s root cert was added in Android 2.2, and a quick test in a 4.0.3 emulator does not raise the error dialog.<\/p>\n
      \n
      What in Samsung Continuum SCH-i400 is so special that it fails only on this website and only with a WebKit-based browser?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      Samsung perhaps tweaked something in the android.net<\/code> packages and broke it, perhaps specifically tied to sketchy SSL certs. Any browser that would be based on WebView<\/code> would run through the same code path; everyone who has their own HTML renderer might not, if they are handling SSL certs and such themselves.<\/p>\n
      \n
      What in WebKit is so special that it doesn’t like the combination of Continuum+allrecipes.com.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      Technically nothing, based on the stack trace. You will note that there is nothing specific to WebKit in there. This would be at most a WebKit-on-Android issue. And, as noted above, it’s probably more peculiar to your Samsung.<\/p>\n
      \n
      Are there additional websites that trigger this behavior?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      Find other ones with certs from smaller certificate authorities, perhaps.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
