If you're a Chrome developer, here's how to run this example: Build the example, i.e. "make ppapi_example_url_loader" on Linux. In the "src" directory, start the test server: On Linux: export PYTHONPATH=third_party/pyftpdlib:third_party/tlslite:third_party python net/tools/testserver/testserver.py --port=1337 --data-dir=ppapi/examples/url_loader On Windows: set PYTHONPATH=third_party\pyftpdlib;third_party\tlslite:third_party python net/tools/testserver/testserver.py --port=1337 --data-dir=ppapi/examples/url_loader Then load the page: On Linux: out/Debug/chrome --register-pepper-plugins="[[[ YOUR SOURCE DIR ]]]/out/Debug/lib.target/libppapi_example_url_loader.so;application/x-ppapi-url-loader-example" http://127.0.0.1:1337/files/url_loader.html On Windows just substitute the generated .dll name for the .so. And click the button!
