Content scripts don't work on file:// scheme

[Nikita Vasilyev]

But they did work!
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/dev/match_patterns.html

manifest.json:
{
"name": "XRefresh",
"version": "0.1",
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["http://*/*", "file://*/*"],
"js": ["xrefresh.js"]
}
]
}

xrefresh.js:
console.log("Yay!");

I see nothing on file://localhost/Users/.../index.html, but on this
page I see "Yay!" in the console as expected.

Google Chrome 5.0.366.0 dev, Mac OS X.

I could be wrong, but it looks like according to the API file: scheme
should have three slashes following the colon?

So may file:///* or file:///*/*

I've found the problem. "file://*/*" pattern is okay, the problem with
the link.

file://localhost/Users/.../index.html doesn't work, but
file:///Users/.../index.html do work!

I consider it as a bug, and very annoying one, because by default
local html files opens on file://localhost/ , not file:///

Which version of chrome do you use?  When I open a local file in the Linux dev channel, it loads via file:///<path>

Just tested on my mac with the dev channel - it also loads local files using file:///<path> - how are you getting the file://localhost/<path> URL?

Important addition. If I double-click on some_file.html it loads via
file:///<path>, but if I drag-and-drop some_file.html into Chrome
window it loads via file://localhost/<path>. Bizarre!

There we go, now I'm able to reproduce :)  This looks like a bug, although I'm not sure whether extensions should support this scheme, or mac should just use file:/// for dropped files.
