Cannot wildcard port
I am launching Chrome from Eclipse using a preview feature. It gives a random port every time. I've tried to wildcard the port, but nothing seems to work.
I've tried:
http://127.0.0.1:* http://127.0.0.1:/
If I add
127.0.0.1://*
It changes it to
http://*
Which first appeared to work, then didn't.
In the end, Allow All is the only option that consistently works.
I don't think port is supported pattern for Chrome extensions.
Although I just tried allowing just the:
- http://localhost
- http://127.0.0.1
and it works with any port. Specifying the port is optional.
Having those two didn't work for me. What I discovered works is a combination of both:
http://localhost *://localhost
Doesn't make sense you need both since you would think http is a subset of *. But if I remove either, it quits working.
Sample URL: http://127.0.0.1:39345/p/docs/REFERENCE.md
Definitely weird, but still allowing just the localhost origin is not that bad.
Just to confirm, the supported wildcards in origins are:
-
*://domain.com -
*://*.domain.com -
*://*
Same for localhost. Paths and ports are being ignored and they cannot be wildcarded either. You can only wildcard a protocol/scheme, subdomain immediately after the // and the entire domain part.
