ios - !gap_exec requests about manifoldcordova HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello,
i had an issue on my app with failing ajax calls, because of too much of these HEAD requests, the browser was blocking my ajax call.

So i changed the cordova communication type to iframe_nav:

var exec = cordova.require('cordova/exec');
exec.setJsToNativeBridgeMode(exec.jsToNativeModes.IFRAME_NAV);

The bridge mode is set by hostedwebapp when it inject cordova in a page:
https://github.com/manifoldjs/ManifoldCordova/blob/master/www/hostedapp-bridge.js#L45

from manifoldcordova.

Thanks for that @mircoc, that's really helpful.

So is this something that we should change - do we need to create a pull request with this change? I'm not sure what the implications will be switching it to IFRAME_NAV - are there other things to be aware of? Does setting it to IFRAME_NAV stop it from making these HEAD requests?

It seems a bit weird to me that we're making all these eroneous requests, and something we should get sorted out in this project?

Cheers

Thanks @mircoc and @mattwoberts as always :) We are going to start another release after build and we'll look at this. I'm not the cordova Expert so I don't know what the tradeoff is, but we'll research. Any other feedback is helpful.

I'll be very keen to see what happens with this.

The consensus on a little googling is that IFRAME_NAV is a little faster and should get round this problem, but it might (or might not, depending on what jira issues you read) have issues of it's own:

I'm not going to switch to IFRAME_NAV for now, I'm wondering if I should just create a route for that URL on the server to at least stop it from cluttering up my logs.

we'll start with some research on this.
