sockets: simple requests working but not MC

See original GitHub issue

This is working fine: HTTPSocket httpGet: 'http://source.squeak.org:80/squeak45/ but this fails: HTTPSocket httpGet: 'http://source.squeak.org/squeak45/' args: nil user: '' passwd: ''

This is with the https://crossorigin.me/ proxy and using the fetch API.

The proxy does not grant the requested Access-Control-Request-Headers: authorization, it sends back Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type instead. This appears to be ignored by XMLHttpRequest but fetch reports an error.

I don’t mind if you watch me debug this. It’s likely you’ll learn something… I will probably do, too. 😉 Let’s discuss “offline”…

Not exactly the same … we need to allow CORS on source.squeak.org, and we need MC to use https not http.

The https://crossorigin.me/ proxy does not exist anymore

We could try to change it or set up our own proxy, but in general, JavaScript needs CORS to access other servers.
