Access-Control-Allow-Origin on chrome extension

Chrome Extensions have two "modes" when making cross-domain XHR requests:

1) If the domain is in the "permissions" section of the manifest.json file - The request doesn't have an "Origin" header, and it always succeeds.

2) If the domain is not in "permissions" - The request includes an "Origin" header with the value "chrome-extension://..." This indicates that the request is a CORS request, and the response must have a valid Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in order to succeed.

Read through that documentation and check that your permissions have been setup correctly.


You're trying to do cross origin resource sharing (CORS). The bad news is that without a server as a middle man there is no way to do this on a normal web page. The good news is that in a chrome extension you can request permission to access any url's you want. Just put something like this in your manifest.json file.

Allow connections to your site:

 "permissions": [
    "http://*.radionsm.lv/"
  ],

Allow connections to any site:

 "permissions": [
    "http://*/"
  ],

When the user installs your extension chrome will inform them of the permissions required in a dialogue box prior to the completion of the install.
