Loading http:// from file://

[jfr]

Hi all,

I'm developping an application based on xulrunner 1.9.2. I need to
load a page, say http://xxx, from file://yyy.

xulrruner raises an error as "Security Error : content at http://xxx
may not load data from file:///yyy.

I tried to push a capability policy as a workaround but without
success.

Does anybody know how to load an http:// url from a file:// url. ?

Which is backwards of what's really trying to be done, yes? Or is it?
I'd say either
a) a bug is causing references from file:// to http:// to be treated as if
they were references from http:// to file://, OR
b) the file->http reference is actually working OK, but then the http
content tries to reference file:// content, which fails.
