[Bug 1347892] Re: Consider defaulting WebPreferences.allowFileAccessFromFileUrls to true

 

Ah! In that case you’re actually using (c):

 c) A webapp that runs in the webapp-container executable. It’s usually
used to point at remote URLs, but I guess the local URL case is valid
too. webapp-container does use oxide, so all we need to do is patch it
to set "preferences.allowFileAccessFromFileUrls: true" on its webview.

Adding a webbrowser-app task (the code for webapp-container lives under
the webbrowser-app project), this is a fairly trivial change, but I’d
like to get Alex Abreu’s opinion on it (thus assigning to him).

Title:
  Consider defaulting WebPreferences.allowFileAccessFromFileUrls to true

Status in Oxide Webview:
  Triaged
Status in Web Browser App:
  New

Bug description:
  This currently defaults to false, which I'm not sure is that sane. The
  default means that 2 files are treated as being from a different
  origin if they don't have exactly the same path
