feat: send route path to route processor

[gugu]

Feature Request

It would be great if RouteProcessor's process method in Android gets actual path instead of index.html

Description

If I have multiple index.html files and want to open /settings/index.html if URL is /settings/subpath/subpath, /other/index.html if URL is /other/subpath/subpath and /index.html in other cases. Previously I did this by monkey patching your module, but this time I noticed RouteProcessor class, which is created for custom routes. The problem is it sends path /index.html for every route without file extension and does not send actual path. Request path attribute in this process method will make it suitable for custom routing

Platform(s)

Android

Preferred Solution

call routeProcessor.process(basePath, path) instead of routeProcessor.process(basePath, '/index.html')

Alternatives

call routeProcessor.process(basePath, '/index.html', path) instead of routeProcessor.process(basePath, '/index.html')

Can you provide more details about your use case? We only append index.html if the url to process is / or doesn't have a . on it (is not a file with extension). Since you say you are loading different index.html files, they have the ., so shouldn't load the default one. How are you loading those?

Example: /settings/abc/def => /settings/index.html /everything/else => /index.html

Yeah, I understood that from the issue description. I meant more details about what you are trying to accomplish with the route processor, are you using your own class? how are you navigating to those urls?

I think it should be possible to do at the moment, but would involve using your own BridgeWebViewClient subclass and RouteProcessor, but can be messy.

Closing since there was no response.

Also I've verified that the route processor receives the whole path, the problem is that the default behavior of the "local server" is to append the index.html, so the feature looks like a duplicate of this one (allow loading from alternate paths) https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/3912

Yes, I guess it was an issue when I posted an issue, looks like everything is okay now
