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

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]).
