Description

If you load a local file into a webview like this:

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
win.add(Ti.UI.createWebView({
  url: 'index.html?foo=bar'
}));
win.open();

The following index.html results in the attached screenshot, showing the query string is not found in window.location.search:

<html>
  <body bgcolor="#ddd">
    <pre id="dump" style="margin-top:20px" />
    <script>
    document.getElementById('dump').innerHTML = JSON.stringify(window.location, null, '  ');
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

This is unfortunate since I'd like to use the query string to pass parameters to the static HTML. I know I can wait for the WebView's load event and then evalJS, but my benchmarks show I loose a lot of valuable time this way.
