Trying to disable Chrome same origin policy

Question

I'm trying to follow a melonJS tutorial. It says I should disable cross-origin request using one of two methods:

--disable-web-security

--allow-file-access-from-files**

I've tried both of these in my command prompt as such:

C:\Users\danniu>C:\Users\danniu\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.e
xe --allow-file-access-from-files

C:\Users\danniu>C:\Users\danniu\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.e
xe --disable-web-security

When I try to run the game in Chrome I'm still getting this error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/Users/danniu/Desktop/JavaScript/melonJS/data/map/area01.tmx. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You need to use both arguments. This is how I run it on my mac.

open -a Google\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security -–allow-file-access-from-files

This is how it should be for windows:

"C:\PathTo\Chrome.exe" –allow-file-access-from-files -disable-web-security

To disable chrome web security on mac use this command on terminal

$ /Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome --user-data-dir="/tmp/chrome_dev_session" --disable-web-security

if $ open -a Google\\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security -–allow-file-access-from-files dosen't help

Answer 3

You should request through a HTTP protocol

Here's an answer quite simple to do it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23118676/1585438

Answer 4

The anti-SOP paramters: --disable-web-security -–allow-file-access-from-files

To make the parameters effective, there must not be another instance of chrome running. If you have chrome running already and start a new instance with the anti-SOP parameters, it will have no effect.

When you close chrome, make sure that all instances are closed. This includes instances without GUI as well (task manager is your friend)!
