Making HTTP GET request from Chrome Extension
<p>I have built a chrome extension and, at time of loading, I need to make a GET request to a server (trying it now from localhost).</p>

<p>Using Chrome debugger I can see that the call is made, but it is never received on the locahost server (which is running).</p>

<p><strong>Javascript code:</strong></p>

<pre><code>$.get( "http://localhost:8080/myproject/api/getInfo", { userId: "me" } )
  .done(function( data ) {
    alert('Received!');
});
</code></pre>

<p>This is what I can see from Chrome debugger:</p>

<pre><code>Request URL:http://localhost:8080/myproject/api/getInfo?userId=me
Request Headers
Provisional headers are shown
Accept:*/*
Origin:chrome-extension://ginkmpnhbepolafnopjackbgefh
Query String Parameters
view source
view URL encoded
userId:me
</code></pre>

<p>If I put <code>http://localhost:8080/myproject/api/getInfo?userId=me</code> directly on a browser it works well.</p>

<p>What is wrong?</p>
