Unable to connect to localhost:port using XMLHttpRequest

Hi,

 We are getting an error when we try to establish a connection to localhost through XMLHttpRequest . Below is the usecase

 we are developing a hybrid application. In native app we have a server running (localhost:port) and based on the html request from web app using XMLHttpRequest  it will serve the content. But looks like an error is happenning.  We have given below permissions

 

    tizen:privilege name=internet (removed complete url as external links are blocked)

    access origin="*" subdomains="true"

 Observations : 

[x] Connection is success for other urls. (google)

[x] We are able to connect to the localhost server from the native application using curl

[x] When the error is observed connection is not even landed on the server. Even before that libsoup/Webkit is rejecting the process

 

Please help if we are missing something

 

We are getting below errors during the process

Hi,

As per below security, one application can't connect to another application via localhost. but web application&native service in hybrid application are in the same package id. so they're under same sandbox and should works. I think that there is  some limitation for this case.

   https://developer.tizen.org/node/9548?langredirect=1


http://tizen.org/privilege/internet
         If you are using the listen() and connect() functions between the local loopback interface (127.0.0.1), you cannot connect to a random application (due

         to  sandboxing) no matter how you add this privilege. However, you can connect between multiple processes of the same application binary.

Hi daniel,

Thanks for the reply. That information is worth.

We are wondering how do we give package id to hybrid application ? We see "package" info for service application in tizen-manifest.xml. But there is no tizen-manifest .xml in hybrid app. There is only config.xml and there is no package field. However there is tizen-manifest.xml in .wgt . Is that the place where we need to give the same package id ?

One more question is package name contains the app name also for ex : org.tizen.serviceapp and org.tizen.hybridapp for hybrid one. . So the question is do we need to give same package name for both the projects ?

 

Thanks for the support

Hi,
Fyi: In web apps package is pointed in config xml:
<tizen:application id="wW7RBDBXDC.hybridWebApp" package="wW7RBDBXDC" required_version="2.3"/>

After hybrid app and was built and *.wgt was created (Project (rigth click)-> Build Package) you could observe inside *.wgt both config.xml and tizen-manifest.xml.
File tizen-manifest.xml inside widget has the same package="wW7RBDBXDC" and appId looks like appid="wW7RBDBXDC.hybridefl"
see here regarding hybrid apps structure:

Hello,

If you want the applications (ui web and native service) install life cycle was the same you need that apps have the same package.
