[Bug]: ClientException: Invalid content-length header [-1] when reading version.json on a Firefox extension

[Chralu]

Platform

Firefox extension

Plugin

package_info_plus

Version

8.0.0

Flutter SDK

3.19.6

Steps to reproduce

On a Flutter application built as a Firefox extension, run the following code

await PackageInfo.fromPlatform();

An exception is thrown.

This is related to dart-lang/http#1240
Using Dio to perform the request works.

I'm not sure if package_info_plus should be changed to use Dio while http (or Firefox) is not fixed...
This bug report is mainly here to keep track of the issue.

Code Sample

No response

Any chance you can provide a link to a sample project showcasing this error?

Hi @miquelbeltran ,

here is a demo project.

Running it,using package_info_plus: 8.0.0 you will get a Failure : Bad state: Origin is only applicable to schemes http and https: moz-extension://40ae7a4c-2b83-4e0d-bf15-b69c263daa35/index.html exception.

In the demo project, I use my fork's PR which adds a quick fix to that behavior.
Using that fork, you will get the ClientException.

[miquelbeltran]

Thanks! I honestly have no clue how to solve this, but maybe others can contribute.

Your PR change looks good and can be merged once the description and subject is good.
