I've added support for opening URLs using
FS.createLazyFileAPI of Emscripten. I've modifiedapi.coffeeandworker.coffeerespectively.It might be also useful to document somewhere (README or the API docs?) that the following headers must be present for the file to be lazy-loaded (see
library_fs.js:1703):Accept-Ranges: bytesContent-LengthContent-Encoding(if other thanidentity)Care must be taken that these headers are accessible from XHR requests, thus appropriate CORS headers (e.g.
Access-Control-Expose-Headers) must be set accordingly.
