I have the following two files:
index.html
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Web Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
.text {
display: inline-block;
font-family: tahoma;
font-size: 14px;
max-width: 400px;
background-color: #ddedff;
padding: 10px;
text-align: justify;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
get_data('info.txt');
});
function get_data(file) {
var request = new Request(file);
fetch(request).then(function(response) {
return response.text().then(function(text) {
$('.text').html(text);
});
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="text"></div>
</body>
<html>
info.txt
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
When I open on Mozilla Firefox
the file: README.html
through this local URI
:
file:///C:/testing/README.html
it works as expected, I mean, the text on file: info.txt
is displayed properly.
But when I open the same URI
on Google Chrome
I get a blank screen and the following error on the console:
README.html:26 Fetch API cannot load file:///C:/testing/README.md. URL scheme must be "http" or "https" for CORS request.
get_data @ README.html:26
README.html:26 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch
at get_data (README.html:26)
at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (README.html:21)
at l (jquery.min.js:2)
at c (jquery.min.js:2)
Do you have what can I do so I can open local files on Google Chrome
as I can do on Mozilla Firefox
?
If I have to do some tweak on:
chrome://flags/
that's acceptable for me.
EDIT
I tried launching Google Chrome
from the command line with the flag: --allow-file-access-from-files
as recommended here but now I get the following error:
README.html:26 Fetch API cannot load file:///C:/testing/README.md. URL scheme "file" is not supported.
get_data @ README.html:26
README.html:26 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch

Thanks!
