my problem is for a Firefox extension. I can't find a way to retrieve the IP address of the website loaded on a page in Firefox. However, the data exists:
Network Monitor ⇾ Header ⇾ Get
I have seen solutions with dns.resolve or through external websites, but it is not reliable in case of CDN as with Google for example.
I hope you can help me.
Edit:
Up, solution to get the header of the request in JavaScript ?

I am currently building a Google Chrome extension displaying a Twitch player within the extension window. To do so I need to have the domain / website on which the extension is hosted. In this case I guess it would be Google Chrome but I don't quite understand hwo to get the exact domain name.
Thanks in advance!
To do so I need to have the domain / website on which the extension is hosted.
They aren't hosted on any domain at all, they're loaded directly by Chrome from its local copy of the extension. The scheme used in the URL is chrome-extension://, not http:// or https://. For instance:
chrome-extension://longstringofcharactershere/filename.html
If you need to provide Twitch with a domain (for instance, to get passlisted in their CORS policy or some such), there's simply no domain to give them. (I haven't tried, but Chrome extensions are really locked down by default, I doubt you could even embed an iframe loaded from a domain you control. Extensions are a privacy and security nightmare, so Google locks them down pretty thoroughly.)
I have a client website that is managed by client team and post clicking on login it comes to the site which is managed by us. Till now, we were extracting the referer URL from the request header and using it to take further actions, but currently due to some changes in the Chrome browser and Edge browser policy we are unable to get the complete referer URL. It works fine in Firefox and Internet Explorer. This is probably because of the browser policy which is restricting the complete referer URL to be send when sec-fetch-site is cross-site. Please help me with some easy code level ways (Java/JSP/Javascript) to extract the complete URL. I tried exploring few links but none helped me resolving this.
Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer use a referrer policy called ‘no-referrer-when-downgrade’. Earlier Chrome also used the same policy but it has now shifted to ‘strict-origin-when-cross-origin’ which restricts the referrer URL to only include the domain of the URL.
The resolution to make it work it for Chrome browser as well is to set the policy to ‘no-referrer-when-downgrade’ in the page where your request begins from i.e. the initial page (which in your case is the client managed one), which will help send the complete details and the browser’s default policy won’t be applied. You may refer to below link for better understanding of these changed policies:

From what I can find, it appears to be a behaviour and analytic tracking script most likely related to mixpanel.com. I've recently run into the same thing, and followed it back to the content.js file inside the Tampermonkey chrome extension. I'm sure there are other chrome extensions that do the same thing, but uninstalling this chrome extension made the https://cr-input.mxpnl.net request stop.
I've also heard others have solved this problem by uninstalling Hide my adBlocker, but I can't confirm this myself.
This could mean you have a malicious Chrome extension installed. I googled "cr-input mxpnl" and came across this Google Forums post. If your internet is disconnected, the extension is probably failing to connect to the website where it wants to send your data.
To be clear, this is a guess. It may be a totally legit extension. However it would definitely be worth checking what extensions are installed, removing any that you don't recognise and doing a virus scan.
Since you are using some Adblocker extension that's the reason for getting
ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED from the console. In the preferences of your Adblocker, you have blocked the access to Site Analytics Tracker
Turning off or Disabling the Web Statistic Tracker options from the preferences of the installed extension came from the Tampermonkey chrome extension. That alone stops accessing analytic tracking script most likely related to mixpanel.com.
There are other options from the preferences from the extension that might not be needed
Cheap Flights Advisor
PromoBar
Aliradar
So try to disable these options and always try to block all unencrypted requests by using HTTPS Everywhere extensions so that your information might not be stolen to any third party agents.
This one has me stumped.
I have a web app that has a file upload/download area. Files are downloaded in the background via a temporary iFrame element. This is a single-paged AJAX application and the UI is written in Javascript, jQuery and uses the jQuery.FileDownloader.js to manage the iFrame. The application runs over HTTPS and the site and download URL are on the same exact domain. The back-end is a RESTful application. This has worked great for months. Until today.
All of a sudden, when attempting to download a file in Chrome, the browser reports an error of "Blocked a frame with origin https://example.com from accessing a cross-origin frame."
The problem is that the origin of the main site and that of the iframe are the exact same domain. I have ensured that the domains are the same as well as the protocol. Chrome is the only browser that throws up the cross-origin error. IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari... all work as expected. It's only in Chrome and it's only as of today. To make things worse, no updates were made to the browser. It truly is spontaneous. I've also ruled out plugins as the cause by running in Incognito mode, where none are allowed to run by my settings, as well as disabling my anti-virus software. This problem is being exhibited on other computers, in other locations (not on our LAN or subnet), all running Chrome.
And, again, both domains of the parent frame and the embedded iframe are identical. This only happens against the production server which runs over HTTPS. Other non-HTTPS sites (e.g. our dev environment, localhost) don't have the problem. Our SSL is valid. Since this is a single-paged AJAX application, we're trying to avoid popping up another window for the download.
Hopefully, someone can offer some advice. Thanks in advance.
Update: After additional research, I have found the solution to this problem is to enclose the filename in the response header in double-quotes.
I have found the cause of the problem. It turns out that Google Chrome has problems with files that have commas in their filename. When downloading the file via a direct link, Chrome will report that duplicate headers were reported from the server. This has been a long-standing problem with Chrome that has gone un-addressed. Other browsers are not susceptible to this problem. Still, it's a fairly easy problem to troubleshoot and, indeed, when I searched on this error, the first search result had the solution: remove commas from filenames when handling a request from Google Chrome.
However, this wasn't a direct link, it was an AJAX-request, which results in a different exception. In this case, the error provided by Chrome is the cross-origin request exception and this is what made it so difficult to troubleshoot.
So, the tl;dr of it all is to strip out commas in the names of uploaded files.
Another instance I found where this issue occurred is after executing code similar to:
document.domain = '[the exact same domain that the iframe originally had]'
Removing this line of code got rid of this error for me.
Our company is currently experiencing an issue with Google Chrome Frame enabled browsers and a third party site that utilizes an Amazon CloudFront CDN. For all CSS and JS files on the CDN, chrome sits on a request for 2 minutes exactly, and then returns with a 304 and loads the page.
We need chrome frame active, and it doesn't look like we can disable it for specific sites if the site is sending down the chrome frame headers.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is there any way to force the timeout to occur quicker. Why would that be happening in the first place?
Duplicate dead question here.
