Hi Guys,
 
When I run my extension in incognito mode and navigate to different websites e.g yahoo.com, google.com it works fine but when I try to navigate to some loacal html file which exists inside my extension folder. It doesn't navigate and show following error message.
 
------------------------------- error message ------------------------------------------
 
This webpage is not available
Google Chrome cannot reach the website. This is typically caused by network issues, but can also be the result of a misconfigured firewall or proxy server.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Try adding Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or check with your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, try the following steps: Go to Wrench menu > Options > Under the Hood > Change proxy settings > LAN Settings and deselect "Use a proxy server for your LAN."
Error 109 (net::ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE): Unable to reach the server.
 
----------------------------------------- end of error message --------------------------------------------
 
Is there a known issue or its by design that we can't navigate to a local resource while running in incognito mode?
 
Is there any work around?
 
Thanks!

I've run into the same problem. And it's not anything to do with
incognito access; I've checked that box.

Is the issue resolved if you go to chrome://extensions/ and click "allow in incognito" in your extension's listing there?

Not from my experience. From my tests, that checkbox does not have any
effect on loading an extension's pages in incognito mode.

I have met with some success when using "split" incognito mode as
opposed to "spanning" (see http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/manifest.html#incognito).
The page will load correctly, but this doesn't work for my needs
because I need settings to be the same in both normal mode and
incognito. "Split" mode means the extension basically runs in two
processes, one for normal windows and one for incognito windows. Each
one only sees the appropriate tabs and events, but they have separate
localStorage databases.

Hi Arne,
 
Yes, my extension is listed when I click on "allow in incognito" Also, when I launch new window in incognito mode, my extension is also listed in "new incognito window" and all navigations works but as soon as navigate to local html file, I got above mentioned error. It doesn't matter that I navigate to local file by typing a url in Address bar or navigate to using "chrome.tabs.update(tabId, { url: "chrome-extension://ojhphpegjjednmbffcadebcacbbibnfd/Test.html"});". I always get the same error.
 
Thanks!

Hello Google chrome team,

This webpage is not available

Google Chrome cannot reach the website. This is typically caused by network issues, but can also be the result of a misconfigured firewall or proxy server.

Here are some suggestions:

  • Reload this webpage later.
  • Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
  • If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the Chrome menu >Settings > Show advanced settings... > Change proxy settings... > LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox.
Error 109 (net::ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE): Unable to reach the server.
