I'm using the Channel API in a Chrome extension.
In Google App Engine Channel API Javascript Reference (Python) page it says that
Include the following in your html page before any JavaScript code that refers to it:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_ah/channel/jsapi"></script>
So, I put that in the header of my options.html file:
<html>
<head>
<title>Extension Options</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_ah/channel/jsapi"></script>
</head>
but Chrome throws jsapiFailed to load resource error. What am I doing wrong?
Update
As per Moishe's answer I updated the call to jsapi like this:
<head>
<title>Extension Options</title>
<!-- this does not work because it is local
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_ah/channel/jsapi"></script>
-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/channel.js"></script>
</head>
Update
I added onopen and other properties. Now I get the onopen alert but I am not getting the evt.data alert. What am I doing wrong?
<html>
<head>
<title>Extension Options</title>
<!-- this does not work because it is local url
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_ah/channel/jsapi"></script>
-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/channel.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Enter your gmail address:</p>
<textarea id="getEmail" style="margin-bottom: 4px; width: 250px; height: 20px">
</textarea><br />
<button id="save">Save</button>
<!--<button id="save">Clear</button>-->
<script>
document.getElementById("getEmail").placeholder = "your gmail address" ;
//save entered gmail address
document.getElementById("save").addEventListener
(
"click",
function ()
{
var userEmail = document.getElementById("getEmail").value;
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append("extension_user", userEmail);
alert("after formData.append")
var channel;
var socket;
var handler =
{
onopen: function () { alert("onopen") },
onerror: function () { alert("onerror") },
onclose: function () { alert("onclose") },
onmessage:
function (evt)
{
//evt.data will be what the server sends in channel.send_message
console.log("evt.data received from authhandler: " + evt.data);
alert("evt.data is: " + evt.data)
}
};
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
//changed to lowercase
xhr.onreadystatechange = function()
{
//alert("xhr.onReadyStateChange")
//error handling etc not included
if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200)
{
token = xhr.responseText;
alert("token: " + token)
channel = new goog.appengine.Channel(token);
socket = channel.open(handler);
}
};
xhr.open("POST", "http://ting-1.appspot.com/authsender", true);
xhr.send(formData);
console.log("formData sent to authsender: " + formData);
}, false
)
</script>
</body>
</html>

In a chrome extension, you'll need to directly specify the path for the Channel javascript (https://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/channel.js). The request for /_ah/channel/jsapi can't be redirected by anything because the file that's trying to load it is local.
