Since we launched this free XOData online service to enable effective visualization and exploration of OData APIs - we received a few requests to enable access to OData services that require authentication or only accessible at local server/intranet. After private beta testing of the new web application, we finally decided to publish the App as a Chrome Packaged App so that cross-domain-requests can be made without any tweaking of the browser settings. The app is now available in Chrome Web Store. However, XOData as web-application, is still available for integration with OData provider systems like SAP Gateway etc.
