Hi guys, dear Panoramaheads,

Thanks for adding me to the forum Hopki!

I was a bit of surprised, since a few weeks I wasn’t able to run local code files located in the “output” folder.
index.html won’t load the context with the good old firefox.

As I thought they added a new security feature in, which is blocking local initiated codes, I found this here:
CVE-2019-11730: Same-origin policy treats all files in a directory as having the same-origin
(Source: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/ ... 2019-11730)

And here is what I found to get back to the local panorama party:

You can leverage this restriction by going to about:config url and then uncheck: "privacy.file_unique_origin" boolean value.

Success,

Frank

Thank you Toni, I was a little bit concerned of the unwilling firefox behavior. I am so lucky that the browser now is so safe, unwilling to execute local java's. :lol: next step of firefox security might be the duty to use a safety helmet and a harness while using the browser.

Hi Tawrank,
For Safari on the Mac.
• Select, Safari => Preferences...
• Select the Advanced tab => then select Show Develop menu in menu bar

You will now see the new menu item, Develop between Bookmarks and Window.
Select the Develope menu then select Disable Local File Restrictions.
Regards,
Hopki

Is there a way around this in either Chrome or Edge??

Or can you point me at the config setting for the P2VR server?

You can do it on Chrome, but it's much more fiddly.
  • Close all running instances of Chrome.
  • Start a command prompt / terminal window. (On Windows, type Command Prompt in the Search box, and then, in the list of results, click Command Prompt.)
  • Find the Chrome executable folder.
  • In the command prompt terminal, start the Chrome executable with the command line:
    path_to_chrome/chrome --allow-file-access-from-files
  • Chrome will open, then you can drag and drop the HTML file onto it, or open it from the address field. (Or you can add the path_to_html_file after --allow-file-access-from-files.)
For me on Win10 path_to_chrome is C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\
