Hi !
I just wanted to share that interesting post from the Cordova dev list. It shows how to delegate XMLHttpRequest and image loading to a native implementation.

Would we provide any advantage by using our iOS http lib and android Pipes over plain XMLHttpRequest ? 

Not sure I am really following your thoughts, but isn't that what we are already doing inside e.g. the push plugin? the actual HTTP stack is part of our native libs, instead of XHR
sure that is what we do for Push, but I was not thinking of Push, was more thinking of a "AeroGear http" plugin that people could use for all their http calls but again no idea if that brings any advantage over regular XHR. 

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

Also check the reply where another one have used the same approach to add certificate pinning , that could be an interesting source of inspiration since I know cert pinning is on the security roadmap [1]

Objet: I replaced XMLHttpRequest and image loading with a plugin, and wrote up my experiences
Répondre à: dev@cordova.apache.org

Hi All,

I spent some time researching how much of the webview network stack I could replace with a Cordova plugin on Android. I wrote a post about it -

https://github.com/nextopio/nextop-client/blob/master/docs/02.16.2015_CUSTOM_XMLHTTPREQUEST.md

The take away is that a Cordova can fully replacing the default XHR and image loading in the webview for async=true, but it can't do async=false (but who uses that anyway :/). This is cool because plugins can experiment with new wire protocols to get data to the client.

Best,
Brien
