Chrome web store? #4

Closed LaurensRietveld closed 10 years ago

LaurensRietveld commented 10 years ago

Hi Chris,

Thanks for you plugin. This one looks particularly interesting, as it uses whitelists. Is there a reason you havent added this to the chrome web store? I would like to advice this to users of my web application (see http://yasgui.laurensrietveld.nl) as a workaround for some issues they may encounter. However, I'd like to keep these workaround as easy as possible, meaning I would like to avoid the need to use developer tools

Best, Laurens

Hi Laurens, I'm glad you like the extension. I thought of packaging it for the store, but I haven't spent the time to get it ready. I'll leave this open as a reminder.

I'm not sure I'd recommend this for users of a production application though... do you not have control over the services that you are using there? It would be more appropriate to enable CORS directly in the services if possible.

LaurensRietveld commented 10 years ago

Ah, great that this is on the todo list.

I know that using this in a production environment is pretty ugly. However, I'm facing the following problems/requirements:

Some localhost SPARQL endpoints (i.e. services) users use via my application do not support cors, and have no simple configuration file to enable cors
Quite some users are unfamiliar with setting up apache, or running a CORS-proxy on localhost (such as the node-js proxy)
All other options to enable access to these SPARQL endpoints require quite some effort from the users side (something I'd like to avoid)

This is why I particularly like your extension, as this only comprimises a part of the security (using the whitelist), instead of enabling CORS for -all- traffic.

There is already a "similar" extension in the store https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-control-allow-origi/nlfbmbojpeacfghkpbjhddihlkkiljbi

but your extensions seems a lot better as it uses whitelists It would be great to have your extension on the webstore too.

Hey @chrisdeely, great work on this! It's saved me a lot of time.

What's needed to get this ready for the web store in your opinion? I'd be happy to lend a hand.

Well, a nifty logo for one :)
