[php-src] Issue #7990: Build only php -S, passthru(), redirect to server from symlink

Issue: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/7990 Comment Author: damianwadley Doesn't sound like a question of PHP doing any proxying: > I want to be able to request the > ''chrome-extension://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/test.txt'' > and get the response from the PHP development server that I start and stop using Native Messaging at > arbitrary web pages.

You can't symlink a file to a website. That's just not how symlinks work. So that's not going to work. If you want to request some resource within a Chrome extension and have the browser redirect to a website then you'll have to find some Chrome extension-based mechanism to do so. PHP has nothing to do with this.
