HOW TO EXPOSE HTTPS REQUEST IN THE FETCH MODE

[basicer]

Im working on a solution for that -- https://github.com/basicer/v86/tree/tls

[saquib34]

I created a Chrome extension that allows at least HTTP requests by bypassing CORS errors.

@basicer: This looks really intriguing! Does this assume the HTTP client in the guest to accept unknown self-signed (root) certificates? The HTTP server needs to be CORS-enabled I assume. I attempted to test your PR but failed, do you have some test instructions? Thanks!

I updated the branch and turned it into a PR.

In an alpine VM I can just do:

curl http://mitm.it/cert.pem >> /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt 
curl https://google.com

None of the current test images have anything that can make a TLS connection for the device test.

Yes I saw the PR, cloned and built it locally and looked through the diff.

In an alpine VM I can just do:

curl http://mitm.it/cert.pem >> /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt 
curl https://google.com

Across different guest OSes I got the same error, curl fails to connect to server port 443.

What I was missing when building v86 was to also run:

make build/mitm.mjs

Otherwise mitm.mjs wasn't build and the dynamic import in fetch_network.js failed silently, thus never intercepting HTTPS requests to port 443 which explains the error.

Now your example works (Debian 12 VM), great!
