"Not allowed to load local resource" requesting to "connector.php"

Hello.
I'm trying to create an extra following the doodles example.
I'm having trouble in the CMP because the request to the connector.php seams to be denied.
I get this message in chrome:
Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/myextra/assets/components/myextra/connector.php
The path is correct and the file is there.
Can someone help me find the problem?
Thanks

It might be a permissions problem with the folder containing connector.php.

Or it could be a mod_security issue: http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/What_is_mod_security_and_how_does_it_affect_me

Hello Bob. Thanks for answering.
I confess that I don't have great knowledge about the more hardcore stuff in web development...namely apache permissions.
I did insert "SecFilterEngine Off" in .htaccess after reading your reference but the problem persists (also restarted apache)
I did however managed to identify exactly where the error is generated.
I changed the sencha "ext-base.js" and "ext-all.js" for the unminified versions
It's in javascript in the line 1979 of "ext_base.js" in the "asyncRequest" function.
The call to XMLHttpRequest.send fails.
The "open" method (line 1964) runs ok but the "send" method fails.
The postData is "start=0&limit=20&action=mgr%2Fralpi%2FgetList&HTTP_MODAUTH=modx4f9810159a54c9.50690830_14fb8dcff464bf3.61994919"

The error in chrome console is:
"Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/modx_ralpi/assets/components/ralpi/connector.php"

The file is accessible and I can open it in chrome

I have no clue about this one...Can you help me?

I don't have any ideas other than turning off the compress_js system setting.

Hello again.
ok...again I missed something really basic...sorry

The XMLHttpRequest url can't have a full disk path.
The core_path must be a full file path like "C:/xampp/htdocs/modx_ralpi/core/components/doodles/" but the assets_url must only be "/modx_ralpi/assets/components/doodles/"

I had problem with the paths earlier and ended up using full path but only core_path variable should use it.

Thanks again.

It's easy to confuse paths and URLs, since the URLs are very path-like.

I still do it occasionally.

I have it working now but had to solve another thing that was missing in the doodles tutorial.
A problem regarding authorization and siteid.
Just for the record here's a link to the post where I found the solution.

It seams doodles tutorial isn't up to date.
Thanks again.

Just for the record...
The previous "fix" I mentioned (and I didn't really understand) doesn't seams to be necessary.
The problem with permissions had to do with something I missed in the extras tutorial...this:

You may have to add a System Setting in your MODX install called session_cookie_path and give it a value of "/" (no quotations). This will tell MODX to use the same session when you're running stuff at http://localhost/doodles/. Also, giving it a unique name via session_name (like "modxlocaldevsession") is a good idea too. That'll prevent conflicts with other MODX installs on your local machine. If you do this, empty the core/cache/ directory and relogin after doing so.

Now it works without the "fix" from the previous post.
Seems nicer now
