4 years ago when you use an ip address instead of localhost then the web context is considered insecure (unless you use https)
you have 4 options:
- Create a self certificate and make your page secure.
- Treat given (insecure) origins as secure origins in your browser. there are different way to do it in different browsers... chrome://flags/#unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure
- host mitm.html on a secure site but make mitm.html cachable so it works offline. see for more background #126 (this requires a internet connection once to install StreamSaver)
- Point localhost to 192.168.xxx.xxx in your host file so that when you write http://localhost:1234 you will actually request the page from 192.168.xxx.xxx
As my website is in local network with no connection to Internet, I have to host mitm.html as well as sw.js on my server. I changed the links to point to my server addess.
It worked fine when I debug locally with 'http://localhost:1234', but when I use 'http://192.168.XXX.XXX:1234', the channel.port1.onmessage seemed not called.
I wonder if MessageChannel or stream couldn't be used in insecure website. Is there a way to work around this?
