Subject: [jira] [Commented] (CB-838) localStorage breaks with certain
 characters

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-838?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13285505#comment-13285505 ] 

Kimmo Puputti commented on CB-838:
----------------------------------

I made a simple app to test the localStorage read/write handling of custom strings:

https://github.com/kpuputti/cordova-localstorage-experiment

I noticed that writing a string with a forward slash works, but when it is read, the string is cut from the first occurrence of the slash character.

With the quote character, the string is saved, but the whole app crashes when it is attempted to read again.

>From logs:
"A first chance exception of type 'System.SystemException' occurred in Microsoft.Phone.Interop.dll"

and a popup:
"SystemException was unhandled"
"An unknown error has occurred. Error: 80020101."

One possible fix that comes to mind is e.g. base64 encode everything that is saved to localStorage, and decode back when read.

Any thoughts?

> The localStorage API seems to break with quote ( ' ) and forward slash ( / ) characters in the value.
> This might be an issue in the native browser view, but can it be fixed in the Cordova layer (as the iOS localStorage fix)?
