Google Chrome Extension error - Access-Control-Allow-Origin

Question

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:4567/save. Origin chrome-extension://cbemaelkkmebiohhjgmlclegalijdbbh is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Even thought I'm getting this error the extension seems to be calling the URL. The message passing from contentscript.js to background.html took me a few minutes to wire up, but seems ok. I'm confused.

Here is my manifest.

{ "name": "FirstExt", "version": "1.0", "description": "My First Extension", "browser_action": { "default_icon": "icon.png", "popup": "popup.html" }, "content_scripts": [ { "matches": ["http://*"], "js": ["jquery.min.js", "contentscript.js"] } ], "background_page": "background.html", "permissions": [ "http://*", "http://localhost:4567/*" ] }

Note: I'm not really using the popup.html for anything yet. Its empty. — BuddyJoe

Try changing http://* to http://*/ (and removing the localhost entry).

If you're trying to access a https page, you will need that too.

Replace "http://*" with "<all_urls>".

Do you need to remove this before uploading the extension?
