context:
i'm using robot framework + msedgedriver for e2e testing, my environment is docker in linux vm. So i can't run msedgedriver windows container in this vm.
I decided to run ms edge driver on remote windows vm.
Problem:
in my windows server 2016 i execute the following cmd : msedgedriver.exe --whitelisted-ips="".
I configured my pfsense firewall to redirect trafic to this host, when i try to connect to msedgedriver i get the following error:
Starting MSEdgeDriver 96.0.1033.0 (87d233ad01b7c17f5f53b7dac130e44d5d4b67d6) on port 9515 All remote connections are allowed. Use an allowlist instead! Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/security-considerations for suggestions on keeping MSEdgeDriver safe. MSEdgeDriver was started successfully. [1633362838.713][SEVERE]: Rejecting request with host: ip_address:9515 address: ip_address
and I get the following error in the client:
Host header or origin header is specified and is not whitelisted or localhost.
P.S: I've added my IP address to the whitelisted Ips using --whitelisted-ips='' argument also i tried allowed-origins=* but no luck.
Any idea about it?
in the end the problem has been resolved by downgrading the msedg driver version to "96.0.1032.0".
many other version doesn't work in my case so i advise to try several version of MS Edge Driver ofc with installing the compatible version of edge browser.
Hope that is helpful.
