web+fs:/ links are wrongly redirected to public gateways

[RndFooBar]

The addon redirects web+fs:/ links, when requested with AJAX, to public gateways even though the custom gateway is available.

How to reproduce:

1. Open test.html with firefox
2. The Web Console indicates (through an error of Cross-Origin Request) that the file https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmU[...]3Nn was requested

Expected Behaviour:

The custom gateway should have been used.
The requested file should have been: http://localhost:8080/ipfs/QmU[...]3Nn (with default settings)

Thank you for reporting this.

This seems to be a limitation of old SDK (security policy blocks request before we replace it with local one).

Let's leave this bug open until it can be revisited after WebExtension rewrite is done (#20) and API for custom protocols is introduced (#164)

[lidel]

This is no longer reproducible under WebExtension version (#20):
we do not have real protocol handler anymore, only a set of hacks that simulate it (see #164).

I am closing this one, if at some point in future a similar use case could be formulated against WebExtension version, it should be a new issue.
