error when chrome cast extension is not installed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Do not install chrome cast extension or remove it if you have installed.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should not send ajax request to 
"chrome-extension://boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd/cast_sender.js" if chrome 
cast extension is not installed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Regular chrome and incognito. Mac OSx.

Please provide any additional information below.

I've got the ff errors:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE 
chrome-extension://boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd/cast_sender.js
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE 
chrome-extension://enhhojjnijigcajfphajepfemndkmdlo/cast_sender.js
No cast extension found

Should it not send requests if chrome-extension is not installed?

Hey Everyone, we understand that this is annoying, and while this particular 
issue is marked WontFix, we are working on a solution that doesn't depend on 
being able to load content from the extension in this way.

As for the console error, this isn't a simple case of turning off a log 
statement, it's Chrome itself which shows that error on any failed document 
request.  Normally that's fairly useful to have, though we do understand it's 
annoying in this case due to the failed requests for extension resources.  
There's really no way for the Cast JS code to suppress this console output, 
AFAIK.

======================

Mark? Any word on when this will be fixed?

Thanks for all the comments here. We are working on creating a long term 
solution for this. As you know, this is happening because the mechanism used to 
check for the existence of the Cast extension triggers warnings, but we 
currently don't have a practical way around this. Unfortunately, at this time 
the workarounds would be to either install the Google Cast extension or disable 
network warnings (please note you may miss some warnings that could be on 
interest to you) so you don't see these additional logs. Restricting comments 
on this thread so this response is easily visible to all interested.
