[jira] [Commented] (CB-2415) On iOS the ajax error/fail callback is not called after server returns error code 401/unauthorized

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2415?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14999128#comment-14999128 ] 

Tobias Bocanegra commented on CB-2415:
--------------------------------------

The problem occurs, if an ajax request responds with a 401. normally a browser would open the basic-auth dialog, but uiwebview just hangs.
If you can control the server, you could respond with a 403, if you detect an ajax request (x-requested-with header) and a browser user-agent.

The other possibility is to implement our own URLProtocol for http/https and suppress NSURLSessionAuthChallengeUseCredential to be forwarded to the webview. As it is not so 'fun' to implement all the http/https handling, especially when it comes to caching, I would only enable this if required, eg via a preference. alternatively, we could provide the custom protocol via plugin.

question:
a) should we provide such a custom URLProtocol that fixes this bug as part of cordovalib?
b) should we provide such a custom URLProtocol that fixes this bug as part of a plugin?

> I am seeing the same issue as reported in [CB-2284|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2284] also in iOS. Ajax calls with Authorization header set are not returning but are timing out when the authorization credentials are invalid.
