Ah! ok, that makes more sense - I was just wondering about this :-)

Regarding Android-Pipes, since they over more than just HTTP, I am not sure
if all of that is easy to integrate into the cordova web-view (e.g.
Lifecycle and Activity hooks). But perhaps it's worth - at some point - to
take a look at that. I doubt there is an immediate action needed, but feel
free to track the idea on the AGCORDOVA jira instance
