dojo.hash breaks when there's a base tag
| Reported by: | Rob Retchless | Owned by: | bill |

| Priority: | high | Milestone: | 1.11 |

Description
If there's a <base> tag on the page that points at a different server or path, calling dojo.hash("someHash") adds the hash to the value in the base tag and updates the URL, causing a page transition. Dojo.hash should fully qualify on set.

a sample page which shows the issue in Firefox (any other browser should react as expected)
comment:6 Changed 9 years ago by
This bug seems to only occur in Firefox (3.x). As stated above the the hash gets added to the value of <base href="..."> instead of being applied to the current location.href.
Means:
Having a page on yourdomain.com with a base tag set to google.com using dojo.hash('someHash') will result in
a redirect to google.com#someHash instead of yourdomain.com#someHash.
This is because doojo.hash utilizes location.href to apply the hash. Better use location.hash to accomplish this task.
ff_basehref.html is a sample page which shows the issue in Firefox (any other browser should react as expected) hash.js.patch is patchfile with the one affected line.
NOTE: _replace() has to be fixed as well because location.replace("#"+hash); would also redirect to the value given in base href.

The patch looks good. My only concern is potential changes in encoding behaviour. I went with location.href because it had the most aligned encode/decode behaviour for getting and setting (IIRC, one of the browsers messed with spaces when using location.hash). If the test suite runs correctly with this patch, then we're good.

Tested the patch above, and we're good to go for the non replace case (there are no encoding differences for the setting case, only the getting case).
I'm working on an updated patch for the replace case. The key is to read location.href first, and to call location.replace with the fully qualified URL. Firefox only applies the base tag when setting location.href, not when getting it.

Bumping to 1.8; can backport if there is a solid argument.

Tested in Chrome and the test fails. First button does not change the page nor the hash, second button changes the hash and browses to the page referenced by base

retchless, I marked this for 1.5, but if you do not think you will have a patch ready by then, just give a holler.
