WASM headers for online

[mmeeks]

Nope - we should run our WASM off the main thread, and do load, rendering etc. in the background; while continuing to render the UI in the main-thread with the same front-end code as now.

[juliushaertl]

In that case the header should not be needed as far as @danxuliu told me

[mmeeks]

Hmm - ok ? it seems that we need the parent frame of our iframe to have this @Ashod can you provide more details; quite possibly I've mistaken what's up here I think. Quite possibly our startup WASM runs in the main thread initially (not sure).

I believe we need these two headers when serving the parent:

Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin
Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp

Also had to add script-src unsafe-eval to the CSP header of our frame/js/wasm serving, but we will find out if that is required when we load with the above headers as the missing unsafe-eval was mentioned in the error message.

[juliushaertl]

unsafe-eval would be quite an impactful change security wise.

For the others I pushed a quick PR to #3260 which should achieve setting those headers for Nextcloud. However we should of course get more clarify about which headers to add in the end, why and its implications.

unsafe-eval sounds bad; but I think we can do that with wasm-eval in future :-) thanks Julius.

@juliushaertl, I'd like to run some tests locally. Any chance to get the draft PR polished so I can build locally and test?
Thank in advance!

[juliushaertl]

@Ashod Pushed and should be testable with that now.

Thanks @juliushaertl. The PR branch being out-of-date shouldn't be an issue?

@caolanm, does #3260 work for you? Are you able to apply it and build?

I have this patched richdocuments and a local nextcloud install. I can see it has an effect, but right now if I open a document, without wasm, then I just get an error of:

[getWopiUrl] http://localhost/nextcloud/index.php/apps/richdocuments/wopi/files/7_oca1b28l9m0b url.js:42:9
The resource at “http://localhost:9980/browser/70f697e3da/cool.html?WOPISrc=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fnextcloud%2Findex.php%2Fapps%2Frichdocuments%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2F7_oca1b28l9m0b&title=%2FDocuments%2FWelcome%20to%20Nextcloud%20Hub.docx&lang=en&closebutton=1&revisionhistory=1” was blocked due to its Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy header (or lack thereof). See https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Cross-Origin_Resource_Policy_(CORP)# files

Seems this was caused by those two headers: #3258 (comment)

I pushed a fix up to the PR.
