There's no such thing as an installable web application. Also, please stop
reopening the bug. This is not an issue with XMLHttpRequest.

Shops are no requirements especially for desktop-PC's but I'm seeing what you
are pointing to. 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.

The problem with that model is that it requires installation. 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.

A small ping, since I would really like to try to enhance something here. 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?

That is intentional. Please study the web's security model.

It is not only about XMLHttpRequest (there was just no suitable component so I
have choosen XHR from the list). 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).

We won't be adding new features to XMLHttpRequest. Certainly none that complex.
Sorry.
