Fortunately and unfortunately, Kiri:Moto runs entirely inside the browser’s privacy sandbox. It does not have access to your local hard drive without a user-initiated action. Thus the file → import function once clicked can bring up a file dialog, not before. There are new browser APIs that make this more powerful, and I am looking at ways to incorporate them.
Opening a model or workspace at startup from a URL is currently only possible using internal APIs. I will explore if this is broadly possible as a public URL option (no security constraints). FTP URLs are not going to work. But HTTPS could.
Is there any update regarding loading the workspace from HTTPS URL?
I am going to design class for 4-th graders using kiri:moto and such possibility allows me to design class “bullet proof”
Is this option now implemented? If yes, how can I use it?
Sometimes I do 3d printing with kids and having the possibility to hand over just a link would be nice (and everything like printer and profile is set).
yes and no. I implemented it way back but forgot to update this thread. I just found out it will not work with newer .kmz workspaces. so I just fixed that and will push it out in a release later today. the usage format is:
https://grid.space/kiri/?wrk:[domain]/[path]
the content must be delivered over https and CORS header Access-Control-Allow-Origin must be set to grid.space or *
I tried in the private browsing - and it is not working. (without and with https://). But then I tried again in public chrome tab - and it is not working too. :(.
The access to space where is the cube.kmz saved is open to public. Can you try it too?
it’s not sufficient that the web site be public. it also has to have CORS headers enabled on the server. it will be different for each web server type.
Ah. This is because that code path was fixed in 3.5, but not 3.4 – this complicates the initial experience by requiring the selection of version 3.5 before loading that url.
