ChronoChat-js: Add a Micro Forwarder option
0%
Description
Update ChronoChat-js with an option to use the local MicroForwarder instead of WebSockets to a remote host. (We need a way to detect if the Micro Forwarder extension has been installed.)

Wentao, do you know a way for the JavaScript page to determine if the Micro Forwarder extension is loaded? We could put something in content.js, but that seems like a hack. Does Web Extensions have a built-in way to check?

To check if the Micro Forwarder extension is loaded, the page sends a "faces/list" message. If the response comes, the page shows a radio button to select the Micro Forwarder.

Sorry I lost track of the redmine messages and didn't reply to your previous question. The solution looks good to me.
