Summary: Disable Chrome web security when launching the browser
Key: CB-10132
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10132
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CordovaServe
Affects Versions: Master
Environment: Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.5) Chrome 47.0.2526.73
Reporter: Mark Holmes
Assignee: Tim Barham
Priority: Minor
h1. Background
I have been running into issues with a Cordova project of mine where the
security settings on Chrome force the browser to run an OPTIONS HTTP request
before any POST request is made. When debugging on Android and iOS, I
discovered that these OPTIONS requests are not sent before the POST requests.
h1. Problem
I did some research and found that these OPTIONS requests are being sent
because of Chrome's same origin policy settings:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3102819/disable-same-origin-policy-in-chrome
I used {code:none}cordova run browser{code} to test this and found that after
running this command and then running chrome with
{code:none}open -n -a "Google Chrome" --args
--user-data-dir=/tmp/temp_chrome_user_data_dir_for_cordova
http://localhost:8000/index.html --disable-web-security{code}
My application worked and the HTTP OPTIONS requests were no longer being sent
h1. Solution
I think that Chrome would more closely replicate the other platforms if we
disabled its "Same Origin Policy" security settings using the
{code:none}--disable-web-security{code} flag when launching Chrome.
The flag's function is documented below:

h1. Pull Request
I see where in the code this can be done and I am wondering if this is worth
submitting a pull request for.
src/browser.js Line 93:
Before:
{code:javascript}var chromeArgs = ' --user-data-dir=/tmp/' + dataDir;{code}
After:
{code:javascript}var chromeArgs = ' --disable-web-security
--user-data-dir=/tmp/' + dataDir;{code}
