Is it possible to modify or override the perceived current location and origin in Electron.js?
I am loading a local .html file in Electron, and I need to manually override location.href
, document.domain
, and all other references to the current location to point to https://example.com/my/page
in order for some external libraries (e.g. reCAPTCHA) to work with the local page.
Is it possible to set the current location to be example.com
, without actually making a request to the remote URL, so that any javascript on the page thinks that the current URL is that, instead of app://....
?
What I've tried
For my tests, I achieved it by running a MITM proxy that intercepts HTTPS requests, and instead of making a request to the origin, responds with a locally generated html page, which therefore I can inject my actual content into.
However, I don't want to go with this approach, and I was wondering if Electron could natively masquerade as a custom URL while loading local files, and report to any content un the page with the appropriate location
/origin
.
