missing img data

[VladimirAlexiev]

Latest Chrome Version 67.0.3396.99 (64-bit), Windows 10, latest version of SingleFile.

I have a local file with an img tag like this:

<img src="../images/Cyber Threat Controls Ontology.png" alt="Cyber Threat Controls Ontology.png" />

The image appears, and I have enabled "Allow access to file URLs" for this extension.

When I save it with SingleFile, the img data is missing:

<img src="data:base64," alt="Cyber Threat Controls Ontology.png">

This is a regression, there was no such problem in previous versions.

Thanks in advance for fixing this!

I agree that's a regression. This is due to the fact that this version uses the fetch API instead of XMLHttpRequest to retrieve resource's contents. I'm not sure I will fix this issue though. Can you tell me more about your use case and why you are trying to process pages that are stored on the filesystem? Could a program run on the command line more suited for your needs? (SingleFile can run in NodeJS)

[VladimirAlexiev]

I have a private doc that I want to make standalone in order to send it to a client. I don't want to publish it.

• So fetch doesn't support local files?
• Sure, I got node and npm installed and can use them
• Or I could run a local web server (I've done this once with python's simplehttpserver or whatever was the name)

But using a browser addon is a lot easier for your average user.

[gildas-lormeau]

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the spec does not explicitly says if file: is supported by fetch. Currently, only http and https are supported in Chrome.

However, I think I will replace fetch with XHR in the extension implementation because the API which allows to cancel a fetch request is still very fresh and is maybe not supported by all browsers.

In short term, I recommend you to use a Web Server.

PS: I'm on holidays, I'll be back in one week approximately.

@gildas-lormeau could you let me know when you release this fix to the Google app store? Thanks!

[gildas-lormeau]

@VladimirAlexiev It is already deployed on the Google app store.

[VladimirAlexiev]

@gildas-lormeau Then v1.2.17 (29 July 2018) still has the same defect.
Chrome Version 67.0.3396.99

[gildas-lormeau]

@VladimirAlexiev Please unzip this file, open test/index.html, process it with SingleFile and confirm it's not working for you? Make sure that "Allow access to file URLs" option is checked in the details page (chrome://extensions/?id=mpiodijhokgodhhofbcjdecpffjipkle) of the extension.

@gildas-lormeau Rechecked now, and everything is ok.
My first image was a broken link, and I didn't scroll down to see the others: sorry to be such a stupid customer, and THANKS for all your care!!

[gildas-lormeau]

@VladimirAlexiev No problem, you're welcome :)
