native.pl

This script enables you to test your Native Messaging setup by allowing you to send arbitrary commands to your executable and to see the response in plain old text.

Usage

native.pl [options] -- host_binary [command]

    Options:
      -h, --help      Display a help message
      -t, --time      Enable output of timing information
      -               Read from stdin instead of argument list

Where:

• host_binary is a path to your host executable
• -- separates options from parameters
• command is the string that will be sent to your host (can contain spaces)

Note: When reading from stdin, currently only the first line is interpreted.

Example

(Using browserpass)

$ ./native.pl ~/browserpass/browserpass {\"action\": \"search\", \"domain\": \"github.com\"}
Request: |  {"action": "search", "domain": "github.com"}
Result:  |  ["github.com\\chrboe"]
Errors:  |  -

Or reading from stdin (notice how only the first line is evaluated):

$ cat commands.txt
{"action": "search", "domain": "github.com"}
{"action": "search", "domain": "google.com"}
{"action": "search", "domain": "facebook.com"}
{"action": "search", "domain": "twitter.com"}

$ ./native.pl ~/browserpass/browserpass.exe < test.txt
Request: |  {"action": "search", "domain": "google.com"}
Result:  |  ["github.com\\chrboe"]
Errors:  |  -
