<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>i guess the point about <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file://">file://</a> does not mean that reading the
local disk should be in an encrypted form. Or disabled per se.<br>
i guess it means that if the content arrives via <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://">https://</a> then
referencing assets like Inlines or textures via <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file://">file://</a> is<br>
disabled for security reasons. Am i right?</p>
<p>However i think that is just good old same-origin-policy. No
content coming from a web server should be able to<br>
reference stuff on the hard disk. Although for in house demos (web
server inside the intranet) this may be feasible.<br>

<p>There is a very heated discussion going on in the web-vr list
concerning the WebVR specification. The browsers companies (at
least Google and Mozilla) are considering making this capability
require that the content arrived over HTTPS. This seems (to me)
to be part of a much larger push to require all content be
encrypted.</p>
<p>My point is not to get in a discussion here about the merits of
this idea, but to provide preliminary notice that all Web3D
content is going to need to support HTTPS at the same Profile,
Component/Level as HTTP protocol is supported. It may even be
the case that <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="FILE://">FILE://</a> won't
work or will require a configuration setting change in the
browser.<br>
