> I have a need to hide the InAppBrowser UI without closing the session.  This is to handle a situation I have, where a RESTful interface uses authentication and will redirect users to a separate login page.
> The InAppBrowser is created with hidden=yes, so that it is created without a UI.
> When the user is authenticated, the JSON will be downloaded normally and the browser window will not be shown.
> When the user is not authorized, they will be redirected to an HTML page in order to authenticate.
> After authentication, the user is redirected back to the API URL, where the JSON will be displayed in the InAppBrowser.
> Having the ability to hide the browser window will keep the user from seeing the JSON and improve the user experience.
