Am trying to make a google chrome extension that will handle pdf downloads. I want it to send downloaded pdfs to server. Please help. This is what I have currently done. My manifest.json
{
"name": "PDF333",
"version": "1.0.1",
"description": "PDF auto download",
"manifest_version": 3,
"author": "Petach",
"icons": {
"16":"icons/16.png",
"32":"icons/32.png",
"48":"icons/48.png",
"128":"icons/128.png"
},
"permissions": [ "downloads", "activeTab"],
"background": {
"service_worker": "background.js"
}
}
And finally background.js as below
chrome.downloads.onChanged.addListener(function (downloadDelta) {
if (downloadDelta.state && downloadDelta.state.current === "complete" && downloadDelta.mime === "application/pdf") {
chrome.downloads.search({ id: downloadDelta.id }, function (downloadItems) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "http://localhost:4000");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
console.log("PDF uploaded successfully!");
} else {
console.error("Failed to upload PDF.");
}
}
};
xhr.send(downloadItems[0].filename);
});
}
});
