Loading from URL

[ff7man]

In order to load from a URL I had to change how the binary was downloaded, instead of using blob I had to download as an arraybuffer and then convert to a blob. I'm not sure if this is caused by a recent change in Chrome.

var getFileBlob=function(e,t){var n=new XMLHttpRequest;n.open("GET",e),n.responseType="blob",n.addEventListener("load",function(){t(n.response)}),n.send()};

to

var getFileBlob=function(e,t){var n=new XMLHttpRequest;n.open("GET",e),n.responseType="arraybuffer",n.addEventListener("load",function(){t(new Blob([n.response],{ type: "application/octet-stream" }))}),n.send()};

the files were hosted on a server with cors removed, here's how to do that in python

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from http.server import HTTPServer, SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, test
import sys

class CORSRequestHandler (SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    def end_headers (self):
        self.send_header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
        SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.end_headers(self)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    test(CORSRequestHandler, HTTPServer, port=int(sys.argv[1]) if len(sys.argv) > 1 else 8000)

File loading from a URL could really use a overhaul and show progress
