Tony Homer commented on CB-10109:
---------------------------------

Sort of similar to Jesse's XHR helper, could we use a UIWebview instance 
instead of an embedded web server?  We would still shim the XHR in the 
WKWebView, but instead of having to implement any of the overrides, we would 
just passthrough to the UIWebview and let it make the request.

> Allow WKWebView to proxy file:// url loading in XmlHttpRequest.open

> Because of CORS, you can only open requests using http*:// schemes, not file.
> Ultimately this might be a new plugin. The plugin needs to:
> 1. Run a local webserver 
> 2. Proxy XmlHttpRequest.open and rewrite urls that go to (1) 
> The local webserver in (1) will route the requests using the appropriate 
> handler, and will need to utilize a secret to prevent unauthorized access.
> Something like this:
