Description

A Chrome plugin specific to the fehr Free Electronic Health Record.

Chrome doesn't support NPAPI, which can be used to permit specific, limited access to local machine functions from the browser. This Chrome plugin is based on Chrome's alternative --- PPAPI/NaCl.

An example: A text help file can be read from the local machine into the fehr Javascript program. This is powerful, but also potentially dangerous (as is crossing a road).

In the PPAPI variant, a Python script allows limited access to certain directories on the host machine. Secure data are encrypted and written there, and can only be decrypted using a key stored remotely on the server and provided during a secure browser transaction.

The plugin also allows interaction in a distinct, separate second mode where there is explicitly no server interaction, and a very limited set of files can be read directly into the browser from the local machine. This is useful for casual use, specifically where there is NO web access, and we wish to use the browser to access local "insecure" data. This functionality is particularly useful for teaching and debugging.

Full documentation is available at http://www.fehr.org

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
