Embeded iframe in rstudio viewer

[cpsievert]

I'm working on plotly's R package and thought it'd be neat to embed plotly graphs in the rstudio viewer via an <iframe>, but the content doesn't seem to load in the viewer:

tmp <- tempfile(fileext = ".html")
curl::curl_download("https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cpsievert/f244be845a5cd13eb4e4/raw/9c1633978da3a22ec95dcf7e3af797607bf77a82/index.html", tmp)
rstudioapi::viewer(tmp)

However, it loads for me on Chrome/Firefox:

browseURL(tmp)

cc @mkcor @chriddyp

That's correct. The viewer doesn't support external URLs. This is a
security precaution as we don't want arbitrary external web content to be
loadable within the IDE frame. One possible workaround is sandboxing the
iframe, however the desktop browser toolkit we currently use doesn't
support iframe sandboxes.

Ah, OK, thanks for the quick response JJ!

I don't want to revisit this, just want to mention the most browsers support the srcdoc attribute of <iframe>, and then all data is embedded, so if this is supported in the viewer, then it is a way to put in an <iframe>.
