Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-1889:
--------------------------------------

For now, keep the whitelist as it is. Added URLisAllowed method to the CDVViewController, for task 2: http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-ios/commit/8e90ed20

> 1. CDVViewController needs a UserAgent property that plugins can query, so they can set their NSURLRequest User-Agent to the same UserAgent, so they can take advantage of the white-list. Right now, any other network connection that is not part of the main Cordova UIWebView is excepted from the white-list with the changes in CB-1695.
> 2. Have a way for plugins to query the whitelist before sending out requests
> 3. The UA in (1) should be cached after being discovered (since it requires a costly UIWebView instantation the first time). Cache the iOS version as well, so that we invalidate the UA if the iOS version changes. Also, hook into locale change notifications, if a locale change happens, invalidate the cached UA value as well.
