fix(android): properly proxy requests to domains in allowNavigation

[jcesarmobile]

When there are urls in allowNavigation object, requests to those domains are being treated as local request instead of being proxied. This PR solves that.

Closes #2132

Great work!
When can we expect a release with this fix in it? 🤩

Is this fix included in capacitor?
I'm working with 2.4.5 and I have the problem described on android when server.hostname is set to the same than the endpoint domain.

[jcesarmobile]

This was released on 2.4.7, but it's not the same problem as you describe

@jcesarmobile Thanks a lot for your quick response.

I thought was related... 😢

We have to use server.hostname to solve cookie session management based on headers on iOS (#1373), but that setting cause that on android app doesn't work when requesting a JSON from an endpoint hosted on the domain used on hostname.

Debugging the problem with dev tools from the android simulator I understand that this is because request is intercepted as "local" one (request response shows shouldInterceptRequest ), it seems I was wrong on this assumption :(

Simply removing this server setting (I understand then it works as localhost) and problems disappears pon android.

@jcesarmobile you are right.

I have upgraded to 2.4.7 and problem persists, I think I have no alternative and do specific compilations for ios / android changing this configuration settings 🤦‍♂️

Hello everyone.

I had the problem with my vue.js application and capacitor app in android studio.
If your application is hosted on a web server and in production there is a rather radical solution.

-> Use a subdomain such as "sub.domain.com" and set up SSL.
->In the capacitor.config.json configuration file, add:

"server": {
     "url": "https://sub.domain.com",
     "allowNavigation": [
       "* .domain.com",
     ]
   },

Important note, all requests made within your application must be in HTTPS.
