Bug: URL -> File does not work #63

Open gear54rus opened 9 months ago

gear54rus commented 9 months ago

According to API docs for onBeforeRequest, returning {cancel: true} will cancel the request.

Yet this is exactly what we're doing when using URL -> File mode in replaceContent the result of which gets passed to onBeforeRequest.

There seems to be a logical error here? And indeed the scenario doesn't work for me currently. Am I missing something?

@aanand any chance for mainline merge? I am using forked version with my code and it works

Temporary hack for anyone experiencing this. Install python if you don't have it and run the following:

cd <DIR_WITH_FILE_TO_SERVE>
python -m http.server 8000

This will give you a localhost server to access your file. Note you may need to allow mixed content in chrome for http content to be loaded.
