Data:URL Web Workers

Question

JavaScript

You need to make sure that arbitrary js code is loaded inside the web worker. I took data: url, did something like this:

var w = new Worker('data:text/javascript;,' + content);

Everything is fine in firelis, but in chrome [chromium] it throws out SECURITY_ERR. Tell me what to do?

PS: I have a little old chromium here, maybe this is the case? Check plz.
PPS: if that's not the case, I remember there was an article on html5rocks that mentioned BlobBuilder for this purpose.

Answer 1

var worker = new Worker(
    window.URL.createObjectURL(
        new BlobBuilder().append(
            "onmessage = function(e) { postMessage('hello habrahabr'); }"
        ).getBlob()
    )
);

worker.postMessage();
