[aerogear-dev] Fwd: I replaced XMLHttpRequest and image loading with a plugin, and wrote up my experiences

[Sébastien Blanc]

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 ? 

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]
