I think it's not just the Chrome local policy that's getting in the way, but that the code does an XHR request and I don't think any browser passes that through straight to the filesystem.

Firefox does, if the calling web page is itself a local file and the XHR requests a file in the same directory as or in a subdirectory of that page.
