Greasemonkey v4: xmlHttpRequest.open no longer accept path without protocol and host

[jesus2099]

Still works in Vivaldi but I’ll make a work‐around so that it works in both.

It seems to be a Greasemonkey v4 for Firefox v57 bug, actually (#369).

[jesus2099]

I have reopened the ticket as several other scripts should be blocked by this GM v4 regression (greasemonkey/greasemonkey#2771).
If they fix it, I’ll revert my changes.

[jesus2099]

I think I have work arounded all my scripts now.
I leave this ticket open to revert those changes once the regression is fixed by Greasemonkey.

@jesus2099
Does 4.2beta1 work for you? It does not for me... it seems to break the xhr in my scripts completely. I do see a PR upstream at 2792 awaiting though.

[jesus2099]

The PR seems to be solely about the async parameter.
Beta version is supposed to work with our /paths.
I don’t really use Firefox but, as soon as I have some time, I’ll install their beta version too and revert my change on some scripts.
But I have not done it yet.

Seems to be functional in 4.2beta2 now. Most likely that commit was the repair needed. Don't see any other related commits that could have unbusted it.

[jesus2099]

Thanks very much @Martii.
I will wait for the release and revert my work-around. 😁

[jesus2099]

I tried coming back to relative path for xhr.open() and it worked in Greasemonkey.
I will make sure it still works in Violentmonkey and Tampermonkey before reverting everywhere.
