Cordova/Phonegap external page load start page

Question

I'm trying to come back to my application after redirecting to an external page.

I'm loading www.external.com in the same webview (view the setting OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView = YES). It's not an issue with the whitelist rejection, the host is configured with the external hosts plist setting.

The www.external.com contain a simple :

<?php
$url = urldecode($_GET['url']);     
header('Location: ' . $url);   
?>

And then I want to come back to index.html#my/route The problem is that the absolute path of the main phonegap page is :

file:///var/mobile/Applications/48D1C223-FD34-436E-85BE-8C0B58859ECF/MyApp.app/www/index.html#my/route/

And I get (either on Simulator or on device) a security error:

Failed to load webpage with error: You do not have permission to access the requested resource.

I can't use window.history.back() because I redirect more than one time. By the way, the window.history.back() is working, I come back to my app.

I'm using cordova 2.1 on xCode 4.5.

Thanks in advance!

This is part of the reason I created cordova-plugin-startpage.

Call the startpage.loadContentSrc() plugin method and it should redirect you back.
