Re: Native Messaging (Was: Core API Proposal)

Hi Guys,

This is another and implemented proposal for Native Messaging which you can test if you want.

It is based on the idea that a native extension is a standard executable augmented
with meta-data indicating for the Browser/OS platform that it is intended (maybe even
certified) for being callable from the "open Web":

That is, IMO, native messaging should be separated from "in-browser" extensions.

The public demo application was created for verifying the concept:

A security review of Google's take on this matter:

Just to make things a bit more more fuzzy, Google is working on an entirely different solution for Android.
