Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-7539:
--------------------------------------
I'm not so sure about the local proxy now and us automatically overwriting xhr,
let's keep it simple. This will break apps that rely on cross-origin
restrictions *not to be on* like in UIWebView, but their tests should detect
this right away - going forward the servers they connect to should be CORS
compliant and allow null origins.
The local webserver should do one thing, and one thing only -- serve local
assets from the local www folder, that's it.
The local proxy can be a plugin that 3rd parties implement, and the dev
explicitly installs. I'm not sure we are the ones to implement it.

> Key: CB-7539
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7539
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: iOS
> Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Blocker
>
> This workaround is because of this bug:
> http://www.openradar.me/radar?id=5839348817723392
> (filed with Apple of course also)
> I'm still hoping that Apple fixes this in iOS 8.1, but we should have this as
> a contingency plan.
> Create this as an included plugin, so it can be extracted later if need be.
> We need to secure access to the local webserver, probably through a session
> token in the header, since background apps can have access to the webserver.
> The session token is passed down to the initially loaded local page specified
> from the <content> tag in config.xml, and should be used in the cordova.exec
> call. We would also need to implement local proxy support , see CB-7348
> This all sounds more complex than it needs to be than just loading a file url
> -- wishing Apple would just fix this in iOS 8.1 instead.
