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: https://github.com/gluster/cockpit-gluster/blob/master/src/components/Gluste...
