The client needed the 1C web client in the browser to "see" a specific flash drive — to tie the work to the hardware, not just to the computer. The browser does not directly access USB, so I created a small local helper: using Python with PowerShell, it reads the drive's serial number via WMI and serves it over HTTP on localhost, while the 1C page retrieves this identifier with a regular request. I also had to deal with Chrome 147 — the latest versions block requests from the page to the loopback, so I assembled a ready-made launch shortcut with the necessary flags to ensure everything worked for the client without any hassle. #python #powershell #1C #wmi #automation
