1.3

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Try to run a script that makes an AJAX call to a resource in the file system (i.e. $.getScript('file://C:/script.js')) 2. It will fail to run

I used binary PhantomJS in windows.

This is the same behavior as webkit browsers like Google Chrome, for google chrome you need to run it with the parameter --allow-file-access-from-files to make it run but there is no such parameter for phantomjs (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4270999/google-chrome-allow-file-access-from-files-disabled-for-chrome-beta-8). This is needed for us to run javascript unit tests as part of the build in the local file system.

I'm voting to set by default to true --allow-file-access-from-files flag. There can be also new config property: --allow-file-access-from-files for executing phantomjs.

Does the new --web-security command line option solve this issue?

I've build the whole test suite of rasterizeHTML.js around loading local files through AJAX. PhantomJS 1.5. is pretty happy with loading everything so far. However I make sure that files I reference are in a directory below the file I am opening.

The --web-security=no switch doesn't work for me. I'm trying to use a proxy object with extjs to access local .json files.

Please see my question on SO here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11933044/using-phantomjs-to-make-ajax-calls-using-extjs-proxy-on-local-file.
