Remote resource error when not using data attribute on object #249

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
If you embed a Flash video like this:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="400">
   <param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/xyz?version=3" />
</object>

And report in the manifest that the containing file contains a remote resource, 
epubcheck throws an error. It's looking for @data, so doesn't see the remote 
resource in the movie param.

It also doesn't register https:// resources as being remote.

It also throws an error that '?' is an invalid OPF file name, but the character 
name restrictions in OCF s. 2.4 are only for resources within the container, 
aren't they?

Wouldn't web-hosted resources fall outside of this requirement, or should the 
spec be loosened?

switch 'file name' with 'file name character'

The issue is quite tricky, as there is no way to know how 3d-party plugins are 
using `param` elements to refer to resources.

One way to mitigate the issue is to add a special case for 
"application/x-shockwave-flash" objects.

But otherwise, it seems to me that checking the validity (i.e. legitimacy) of 
the "remote-resources" property is somehow impossible. WDYT ?

I'll create dedicated issues for the "https" and file name character issues.

Proposed resolution: report a WARNING that no remote resource reference has 
been found.
