same localStorage for http and https?

Question

i'm looking for a way to use the same localStorage (or similar) for both `http:// example .com` and `https:// example .com` according to this, that's not possible using localStorage. there doesn't seem to be a `globalStorage` for chrome though. i'm doing this for a chrome extension, so using cookies is not an option and compatibility with other browsers is not needed. any ideas?

If all you need is store time spent on the site in localStorage then you don't need to solve this http/https problem. Extensions have their own isolated localStorage that you can access anytime anywhere, so just store your data there.

You can access this localStorage only from a background page, so from a content script you will need to send a request to a background page first and then work with localStorage there:

content_script.js:

```
chrome.extension.sendRequest({do: "save", value: "some_value"});
```

background.html:

```
chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(function(request) {
    if(request.do == "save") {
        localStorage["param"] = request.value;
    } 
});
```
