Plugin Question

[Paul Cuzner]

Hi,

I have a REST API that's running on localhost (flask app) that I'd like to
access with a cockpit plugin. I've done a few initial tests but I'm finding
it difficult to navigate the CORS and Content-Security-Policy - so before I
invest any more time in this, I thought I'd ask the dumb question first.

Is this goal achievable? Can a cockpit plugin access a REST API running on
the same host - if so, could someone provide some guidance, or point me at
some docs?

I'm testing on Fedora, but the longer term goal is to use RHEL.

Any help appreciated!

Yes, but access it with cockpit.http() to access HTTP/REST services on
the local machine via cockpit-bridge ... rather than directly accessing
them from the browser. Does that work? Do you control the javascript
code that makes the request?

If not, we may need to help make a shim around XMLHttpRequest (to wrap
cockpit.http() ... similar to how we've made a shim around WebSocket (to
wrap cockpit.channel() [1]).

We've done this with our new gluster plugin:
https://github.com/gluster/cockpit-gluster

You can see the usage in this file:
