However, at certain points our GWT app sends the user to an http:// url. We would like to be able to support file downloads from certain non-chrome sites, but according to the documentation here ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL/Tutorial/Open_and_Save_Dialogs ), the file picker only works from chrome URLs. Is there a way to bypass this restriction for certain http hosts? > > > > Take a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Code_snippets/Interaction_between_privileged_and_non-privileged_pages > > > > It allows triggering events in chrome from html. I guess that under this scenario, I would have to get hold of the byte array for the download and manually create the file picker myself?
