[whatwg] AppCache online whitelist wildcard bypasses restriction on scheme

[Jenn Braithwaite (胡慧鋒)]

Hi,

In the AppCache section of the HTML5 spec, the new wildcard value '*' for
the online whitelist section allows one to 'whitelist all' regardless of
scheme. However, the spec requires a URL in the online whitelist section to
have the same scheme as the manifest URL.  Seems like the new wildcard
feature has created a mismatch in whether the scheme should be restricted.

Should the scheme restriction be consistent regardless of wildcard value vs
explicitly listed URL?

Thanks,
Jenn
