Also, please stop reopening the bug. This is not an issue with XMLHttpRequest. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

But that means that you are telling me that there is no intention to make installable web-applications competitive to native system applications. This is a valid decision but I want to go sure that I'm not missing something here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

And if something requires installation and needs to be trusted it needs to be distributed through a store. And stores are antithetical to the web. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Based on the post above can you give me a use-case why this would be a problem? So I could think about it and maybe propose another solution or give up if I don't see another one. Or have I maybe indeed found a way to make this at least for trusted file:// applications possible? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

This feature is about to make web applications more competitive to native applications as currently they are very limited. For example it is not possible to do network requests to fetch any data (and CORS does not solve this problem as it gives the control to the service provider). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
