CORS Policy Workaround?

[baughbj]

I am attempting to run a small html 5 game within the embedded browser in unity using all local files, but the CORS policy is not allowing it. Is there a way that I can change settings to allow the html file to access the local dependency files? I would rather not use a local server as the project i am working on needs to be plug and play for the end user.

Here is an example of the error message i get:

[UWB]: [CEF Engine Browser Console]: [file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Output/TestProject/www/index.html:0]: Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/Output/TestProject/www/data/Troops.json' from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: chrome, chrome-extension, chrome-untrusted, data, http, https, isolated-app.

Seems like there is a hard requirement from chromium that CORS cannot be bypassed on the file:// scheme. The only way to get around it is to add a custom scheme into UWB or run a small http server.
