[jira] [Comment Edited] (CB-10109) Allow WKWebView to proxy file://
url loading in XmlHttpRequest.open
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15184983#comment-15184983 ]

----------------------------------------------------------
As reported by another commenter: a Polymer app won't load because it performs an XHR request to file:. A resolution to this issue would help.
I tested wkwebview-engine-localhost and my polymer app does load using that plugin (which is a combination of this plugin plus a local web server).
Note that wkwebview-engine-localhost introduce new problems with CORS requests. I haven't figured out if there is anyway to set a CORS header on the cordova-labs-local-webserver that wkwebview-engine-localhost uses. If there is a way to set a CORS header it is not obvious or well documented.

> Because of CORS, you can only open requests using http*:// schemes, not file.
> Ultimately this might be a new plugin. The plugin needs to:
> 1. Run a local webserver
> 2. Proxy XmlHttpRequest.open and rewrite urls that go to (1)
> The local webserver in (1) will route the requests using the appropriate handler, and will need to utilize a secret to prevent unauthorized access.
> Something like this: https://github.com/phonegap/connect-phonegap/blob/master/res/middleware/proxy.js
