Yes, it seems to be an issue with jQuery's ajax calls. If I substitute their
stuff out for a simple synchronous GET call the code works:
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', file, false);
req.send(null);
req.responseText;
Has anyone had luck using jQuery to access chrome-extension or file urls?
