NSURLSessionDataTask request to http and https

1

I have created a plugin that requires NSURLSessionDataTask to access an HTTP API address. The error message is as follows.

Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1022 "The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection., NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=http://api.xxxx.xxxx, NSErrorFailingURLKey=http://api.xxxx.xxxx, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=(
"LocalDataTask <5B2CEC4E-09E1-4E72-9A0F-6F102A2DF6C8>.<3>"
), _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalDataTask <5B2CEC4E-09E1-4E72-9A0F-6F102A2DF6C8>.<3>, NSUnderlyingError=0x600003948780 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1022 "(null)"}}

Requesting an HTTPS address is not a problem. Is there any way I can request the HTTP protocol?

I added

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
</dict>

in the plugin’s info.plist file is invalid

The NSAppTransportSecurity info would need to be added to Glyphs directly, not plugins. Are you sure you need to load data from an http: address?

3

Yes, this interface server is built on a local area network and accessed through an internal IP address without SSL authentication, so currently it can only be accessed through HTTP

4

The Cocoa APIs do not allow access to none “https” connections. You might need to use lower level API to get to it.

5

What lower APIs can be used in plugins to access http, can you give me a simple example?

I don’t think that is possible without changes to the app. I believe we can enable access to http: in a future update, but we have to test that first.

I thought about calling curl or something like this. Not sure if that makes a difference.
