IntelAppPreview breaks XMLHttpRequest with statuses != 200

Andrea_C_ · ‎02-01-2016

Hi all,

I noticed that Intel AppPreview patches the XMLHttpRequest with its own implementation with the file OverrideXMLHttpRequest.js.

This patch makes every request with status code != 200 having status == 200.

Obviously this breaks my app in testing phase, so the only way to test my app is building it through your servers.

I am asking: why AppPreview is patched? Is it possible to remove this patch? I think that the best thing to do would be adding this kind of patches by the end users and not by AppPreview.

If the attribute "data-noxhrfix" is present in the head tag, the XHR override script tag is not inserted into the html file.
e.g., <head data-noxhrfix>

Are you seeing the issue when making a http:// call?
This is to workaround a specific issue with file:// URLs that are not in the assets directory. I think this is applied for http:// as well, we can restrict it to only file:// in next release.
