extension

movie-web extension, allows providers to work without proxy

How this will likely work on the app

On mp4 streaming:

1. movie-web application will send the following to the extension:
   • full specific URL for streaming URL
   • preferred headers for the streaming URL
2. extension will set rules for the specific URL:
   • CORS headers, allow cross origin
   • Set preferred headers sent by app

On HLS streaming:

1. movie-web application will send the following to the extension:
   • hostname for the streaming CDN
   • preferred headers for the streaming CDN
2. extension will set rules for the CDN hostname:
   • CORS headers, allow cross origin
   • Set preferred headers sent by app

On scraping request:

1. movie-web application will send the following to the extension:
   • url it will attempt to scrape
   • list of headers it's planning on reading
   • list of headers it should add
2. extension will set rules for the list of URLS:
   • CORS headers, allow cross origin
   • set readable headers in CORS
   • set the headers for sending the request
3. extension will reply with the rule ID
4. movie-web will execute the request
5. movie-web will tell the extension to remove the rule with the rule ID

How will this work for other domains?

• The popup will allow adding/removing the current tab domain to allowed domains list
• The extension will not listen to any calls from disallowed domains
• movie-web.app is default in the list of allowed domains
