AJAX request in CEF

[punamg]

Hi,

I am trying to intercept an AJAX request from my CEF side.
Can you please tell me which API should i override in order to intercept the AJAX request. Currently i tried putting break points in ProcessRequest and ReadResponse of my CefWebResourceHandler derived from CefResourceHandler but its failing.

ALso in the logs i can see the following lines
[1113/224423:INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "[blocked] The page at 'https://xxx.com/app?newWindow=true' was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from 'native://ajax?v=141589876766&cmd=status&data=y': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.
[1113/224423:VERBOSE1:navigator_impl.cc(192)] Failed Provisional Load: native://ajax?v=141589876766&cmd=status&data=y, error_code: -3, error_description: , showing_repost_interstitial: 0, frame_id: 21

Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong here.

With Regards
Punam

You can't load insecure content from https without disabling web security. Try registering your custom scheme handler to use the "https" scheme instead of "native". See http://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-s ... rabilities for background.

Hi Magreen,

I cannot change the scheme handler to "https" from "native". That is beyond the scope of my application. However, I need to intercept this request from my side.
I tried making the following changes in the code .

Code: Select all

var schemeHandler = new MySchemeHandlerFactory();
CefRuntime.RegisterSchemeHandlerFactory("native", "", schemeHandler);


Code: Select all

class MySchemeHandlerFactory : CefSchemeHandlerFactory
    {
        protected override CefResourceHandler Create(CefBrowser browser, CefFrame frame, string schemeName, CefRequest request)
        {
            return new QBCefWebResourceHandler(browser);
        }
    }


Code: Select all

protected override void OnRegisterCustomSchemes(CefSchemeRegistrar registrar)
{
        registrar.AddCustomScheme("native", true, false, false);
}


However, I am unable to get a hit in MySchemeHandlerFactory's CefResourceHandler Create method. I can still see in the logs the blocked message
[1113/224423:INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "[blocked] The page at 'https://xxx.com/app?newWindow=true' was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from 'native://ajax?v=141589876766&cmd=status&data=y': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.

Please help me as i am stuck at this point. I want to get this "native" AJAX request and not have it blocked from CEF side.

Hi,

Please can someone help me on this. I am kinda stuck at this point.

I am repeatedly getting this error
[1113/224423:INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "[blocked] The page at 'https://xxx.com/app?newWindow=true' was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from
'native://ajax?v=141589876766&cmd=status&data=y': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.

I need to intercept this AJAX request "native://ajax?v=141589876766&cmd=status&data=y" in my CEF code. Since the page is loading on https and this AJAX request starts with custom scheme "native", i understand that is why it is getting blocked.
But what is the work around for it. There should be some way that CEF doesnt block this request.
I have tried registering the custom scheme handler "native" in my code as shown above, but still it is not working.

Please help. I am unable to proceed further because of this. What am i doing wrong here !!

Why can't you replace "native" with "https"? Alternately, you can disable web security by passing the `--disable-web-security` flag but that's not recommended for applications that access the internet.
