Recently we migrated a Chrome extension to Microsoft Edge. We face only one problem. Extension should interact with webpages, that works fine with online webpages but not with local files.
Chrome offers for this situation permission called <all_urls>. We tried to use <any url> permission that we found on Microsoft support page, but without any result. We would like to interact with any webpage, not specific one.
Does Edge support this functionality - and if it does, how can we achieve it?
If not, is it planned in near future?
In Chrome, local file access can be achieved by checking Allow access to file URLs in chrome://extensions, however this feature is not supported in Microsoft Edge at now.
As for feature plan, you may want to provide your feedback in their Feedback site.

I need to upload files to a client's shared folder on OneDrive, however, there's no way I can get them to allow Files.WriteAll for my application (I'm using application permissions, not delegation) -- I've asked them. Is there another way to do that?
I have looked into multiple SO questions about this and on Microsoft's documentation, and I believe it is not possible, but I would like to know from people with more experience using Microsoft's service if it is indeed true.
I'm planning an app for work and venturing into potential features which I've not used before.
Essentially I need to be able to access files on a network share, read, write and delete files as well as amend the file names. As a pretty closed platform I'm not sure whether iOS is capable of such a thing and if it is, what features should I look for to begin researching?
My Google-Fu hasn't come up with anything thus far so hopefully looking for someone to point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
I know this isn't very secure, but I'd personally create an ASP.NET app on your target Windows Server, or a different Server on the domain. Create web services exposed, and make an iOS app with UIWebView. You can do RPC calls from the web service that do WMI/ADSI/File System manipulation. You can prompt for domain credentials, and do remote calls essentially is the gist.
You could expose the web app so that your app can access it from local network, or URL. If you were to access it from outside I'd suggest using some secure credentials in Windows/IIS.
Some years ago I created a "mobile-friendly" web app that allowed me to manage servers, perform RPC, and do basic Active Directory queries. Also allowed file listing and deletion/moving/copying with some creative scripting. It was essentially a ASP.NET/C# web app that loaded in a iPhone app. UIWebView in iOS was a able to load it, used AJAX and some other client side scripting that looked decent. You'd essentially have to make sure that your web app renders properly in Safari/UIWebView (which is bastardized safari).
Here's a link to a demo of what I created:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czXmubijHwQ&t=12s
I ran it in a browser, but it'd run from my PSP, Android test devices, iPod Touch, Blackberry, etc.
I know this a pretty general question and I'm not looking for code or anything. Even a link or short explanation would be nice.. Specifically searching for a way to browse network based active directories from an internal IOS application. Using a cloud or email is not an option.. Possible?
There is a recent article on IBM developerWorks that explains how to use OpenLDAP client libraries in the iOS environment. You can use OpenLDAP client libraries to access LDAP sources, including Active Directory. Not all Active Directory operations are supported, but even basic queries should be sufficient for building a browsing application.
There is a recently released free solution called Centrify Express for Mobile that allows an iOS device (iPad/iPhone/iPod) to join Active Directory, so you can use AD to manage/secure the iOS device.
Embedded Chromium does not have the same protection as stand-alone Chrome does when it comes to warning users about "bad sites". Users of Chrome are familiar with the warning screen that comes up when you attempt to navigate to a web site that Google has detected malware or other nefarious web elements on. However, repeating this operation in embedded Chromium does not lead to the warning screen. Does anyone know how to reproduce this capability so I can add it to my embedded Chromimum project (in Delphi 6 Pro)? If someone has "traced out" the web calls necessary to recreate this capability I'd like to know.
You can check a URL against the Google lists of suspected phishing and malware pages using the Google Safe Browsing API. to see how access this API from delphi check this article Using the Google Safe Browsing API from Delphi from here you can integrate the code of the article inside of your own project.
Is it possible to host microsoft access 2010 in WPF or Windows Forms as ActiveX or anything? I've seen DsoFramer examples but it's not supported from Microsoft and not to mention buggy. Some articles suggest using webBrowser but it's coupled with registry settings that I would not like to overwrite.
Interobility at that moment isn't that important than just to be able to load the access database in a parent window.
Do I have any options of doing that other than using webBrowser control?
Thank you.
Probably not the answer you want to hear but there are no really good solutions available for embedding Office apps/documents in WPF/Winforms anymore. DSOFramer was about the only real choice, but it's dead and the KB has been removed. A web browser control is also plagued with problems.
Although not confirmed to support Access 2010, the only solution I know of for embedding Office docs these days is http://www.officeocx.com/. It has had its share of problems too - rumor has it that it is based off of DSOFramer.
You can try to use Microsoft Sharepoint, and serve the access functionality remotely through an embedded browser frame. Check this video about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq-tDuPfgZc
There is a way. Amazon Web Services have a service called WorkSpaces. I've managed to host applications that give clients remote connection to their software that is not traditionally for the web. One of them was an accounting system. The other is an MS Access application.
I would be interested in knowing if Azure have a cheaper better solution, considering they own the product Windows Terminal Server. What I would really like to see on Azure is a windows container for MS Access.
