  I'm getting some CORS errors with Archive's emulatros
• 22:06
  tomman
  for example this: archive.org/details/hypercard_neuroblast-hypercard-diskzine
• 22:06
  tomman
  it will load but won't run because of some blocked cross-origin requests for some WASM crap
• 22:09
  tomman
  the error is in Spanish: Pedido de origen cruzado bloqueado: La política de mismo origen no permite ler el recurso remoto en ia801902.us.archive.org/cors_get.ph…emularity_engine_v1/minivmacII.wasm. (Razón: encabezado CORS 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' no coincide con 'archive.org').

  but basically it tells that the cross-origin request got blocked because the same-origin policy won't allow for that because the CORS header Access-Control-Allow-Origin doesn't match

  tomman: (is that the one jwz got in a floppy?)
• 22:42
  tomman
  yep, indeed~

  tomman

  Anything wasm is work in progress at best and crap anyway. One of my favorite web features which should go away.

  the problem here doesn't seem to be WASM, but CORS
• 22:51
  njsg
  tomman: so these requests are via fetch(), which makes me wonder if anything else changed in the fetch "living standard"
• 22:51
  njsg
  wouldn't be the first time they change defaults in a backwards-incompatible way and cause issues
• 22:53
  njsg
  ... but access-control-allow-origin is * for the initial request that gets 302, and is set in the following request to [string].us.archive.org
• 22:54

  tomman it is launched via archive org and then chokes because archive.org is not blabla.us.archive.org. I think the error is correct. Nothing you can do other than to load it localy or via static url.
• 22:56
  tomman
  so it's working as per spec then
• 22:56
  njsg
  or maybe it's the Origin header, hm, there are a couple bugs like bug 1649888
• 22:58
  njsg
  okay, that's too many bug numbers for me to process without sleep or caffeine :-) bugzilla.mozilla.org/1694679#c1

  tomman
  so no magic "disable all this security theater crap" pref?

  FWIW I do remember having used that Mini vMac emulator on the Archive on SeaMonkey a couple years ago or so
• 23:02
  njsg
  it's archive.org, so it's possible it has been redesigned a few times meanwhile to use more javascript
• 23:16
  njsg
  frg_Away: ok, maybe I need to sleep, but if I'm reading the devtools network information correctly, it says it does not match, but it does match
• 23:17
  njsg
  as in, it says it doesn't match archive.org, but the value of the header is archive.org
• 23:17
  frg_Away
  MIght be the referrer ?
• 23:17
  frg_Away
  Or owner?
• 23:21
  frg_Away
  anyway nighty night :)

  "oh hai it's me, but it's not me!"
• 23:23
  tomman
  it's Schrodinger's Header™
• 23:31
  njsg
  bug 1444278?
