SetCustomUserAgent in PNaCl Plugin Resulting in CORS Error

[Ethan]

I have a PNaCl plugin, and when I use the pp::URLRequestInfo::SetCustomUserAgent method, I get the following error in the Chrome Console:

PPB_URLLoader.Open: The URL you're requesting is  on a different security origin than your plugin. To request  cross-origin resources, see  PP_URLREQUESTPROPERTY_ALLOWCROSSORIGINREQUESTS. 

I've called SetAllowCrossOriginRequests(true); on my URLRequestInfo object.

I think my manifest.json is setup correctly, do I need another entry in there? Do I need a trusted plugin that has been signed and posted to the chrome store?

Hi Ethan,

According to the documentation here, SetCustomUserAgent is only allowed on trusted URL loaders. Trusted here means running as a trusted pepper plugin.

Native Client always runs as an untrusted pepper plugin, so this feature will not be available.
