That is a feature request, not a bug.

Missing features and don't working features are equal in user's eyes.

That doesn't change the definition of "bug", though.

Is it really so bad that this SMS URI scheme wasn't implemented?

To me it looks like another potential security vulnerability that could be abused by malicious websites.

Therefore I'm quite happy that this "feature" is missing ;)

It does not send SMS automatically. Just open SMS client

hxseven2• 14 years ago

Yes, I know. If they implement it properly it's alright.

But my concern is that a it might get a security vulnerability when a nifty hacker finds a way to automatically submit the SMS.

And in my opinion omitting the feature is the best way to avoid that problem.

Bug or not, there are far more important things to work on then this (like IMAP Idle support in the standard client).

There's an argument that this COULD be a platform feature, but it would be fairly simple to write an Android app that provides an IntentHandler for the SMS scheme. I'd never actually come across that particular URL scheme used anywhere: iOS/Apple clearly have it though.

Here is another 2 yr old bug that I just ran into this week. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14924

Here you have a 4 year old "bug" aka enhancement:

If Android team doesn't see this as a potential feature, they should at the least close the bug, just letting it rot does not align with the goal of having a bug tracker.

This alligator seems a little closer to the boat, why don't we take care of it first? HTTP Authentication
