Summary
It enables you to
- Debug a remote web site, for which source map is usually disabled, with your local web server
- Test your local changes with actual data from remote servers - integration test before pull request
The idea and its implementation are based on HTTP and HTML web standards, independent to the framework of your choice, with the following constraints:
- It doesn't work with
document.write() - "Bypass for network" for service workers. See screenshots for instruction.
- Web socket is not redirected, i.e. Hot module reload (hmr) or live reload doesn't work unless you can force their origin to localhost
It's similar to "Resource Override", but built for Manifest V3, and easy to integration into automated tests. See
