1071629 - Polymer html link import shim works in 1.4 but not in 2.0 and up

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Scott [:thecount] Downe]

STR:

1. navigate to http://scottdowne.github.io/ffos-link-example/
2. check logs

Expected: should see a "loaded" log

In 1.4 this worked, but in 2.0 and up it seems to not.

Polymer is creating a shim for <link rel="import" href="path/to/file.html">

Somehow that shim became broken, it's possible it's on Polymer's end, but hard to say right now.

It is quite challenging to guess what is wrong with polymer.
Hopefully bug 975084 will help figuring out this issue and may be some polymer expert would be able to debug this.
It might be worth opening a polymer bug in order to report back here more info about what is the original issue behind this failure.

Perhaps the DOM team will be able to help here.
