Supports fetch for files in github repository with file:// protocol

[ayame113]

It would be nice to be able to fetch github repositories using the file:// protocol, like deno 1.16.
Currently "PermissionDenied: Read access not allowed" error occurs. The code I tried is here.

According to the issue comments, fetching local files seems to have worked in the past. Was this intentionally removed? Or is my code wrong?

It is supported in Deno 1.16, it just has not been shipped to Deno Deploy yet. We will be addressing this is in the next few days.

@ayame113, fetch() now supports file:// URLs in deploy. With a project linked to GitHub, the following source in main.ts should work:

import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std@0.114.0/http/server.ts";

function handler(req: Request): Promise<Response> {
  // Note: import.meta.url is a file:// URL.
  return fetch(new URL("./main.ts", import.meta.url));
}

console.log("Listening on http://localhost:8000");
await serve(handler);
