Description

If you create a webview, and try to pass data to it on the querystring, javascript inside the webview cannot see the Ti or Titanium variable(s).

For example:

var webview = Titanium.UI.createWebView({

// url:'ui/tree/demo2.htm?data=12345', // this does NOT work on Android, but is fine on iOS url:'ui/tree/demo2.htm', // this works on Android AND on iOS
top:0,
height:400
});

When the querystring data is include in the url, any attempt to use Ti.API or Ti.App inside the webview results in an error message:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Titanium
or
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Ti

   var webview = Titanium.UI.createWebView({
       //url:'ui/tree/demo2.htm?data=12345', // does NOT work on Android, but works on iOS
       url:'ui/tree/demo2.htm', // works on Android and iOS
       top:0,
       height:400
   });

Same goes for appending hashes to local URL's. demo.html#hash also results in disappearing of Ti and Titanium variables.
