allow-universal-access-from-files

[lacsaP Patatetom]

hi,

I use remark with external markdown (eg. sourceUrl) and, when I get my html file, I encounter a cross origin request error :
Failed to load file:///tmp/test.md: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https.

is allow-universal-access-from-files option intended to bypass this security restriction ?
if not, what is it intended for ?

regards.

allow-universal-access-from-files has been deleted; it doesn't do anything at all.

this is a bad copy/paste :-(
I'm talking about allow-file-access-from-files option.
it always seems to be available in chromium...

[Torne (Richard Coles)]

allow-file-access-from-files does what it sounds like: it lets one file: URL access any other file: URL (by default all file: URLs are considered separate origins and isolated from each other).

that's what I thought when interpreting the name of the option, but that doesn't concern XHR :-(
my goal is : how to allow XHR on file:// in chromium ?

[Torne (Richard Coles)]

allow-file-access-from-files should affect XHR: it should allow one file:// origin to make an XHR to another file:// origin. Is that what you are doing, or is your use case something else? Can you provide an example of what you're trying to do?

[lacsaP Patatetom]

yes, that's what I'm trying to do, but it doesn't work.
have a look here for more details.
what I'm concerned about is that when I'm using --allow-file-access-from-files, the error is not the same as without the flag...
