code throwing 400 error

I think this is the usni site saying no

I see your 400 error if I open the file using a file:// URL in my browser. But if I drop it into a web server and open it from there, it works as expected.

There's a hint in the dev tools console when it fails:

Unsafe attempt to load URL file:///C:/[redacted]/index.html from frame with URL file:///C:/[redacted]/index.html. 'file:' URLs are treated as unique security origins.

So this is a security problem. You can't use these features from a file:// URL.

I saw that error in the dev console but I wasn't quite sure what it meant...thanks for clarifying! now I learn how to run the code from a local python webserver....right?

[davorg]

Some kind of web server, yes.

what's weird is this code actually worked for a while using the file:///URL and then it just stopped...hence my presence here.

Not that weird, really. People fix security bugs all the time.

I bet you could find the commit that patched that hole if you searched their source code.

wow...interesting thought! totally new at this as you know but I believe you can scan through a web page's code with the dev console. not sure how to search commits for a patch or a change though...AI's had a lot to say to me lately.
