Description

When loading a local host with relative path using Ionic 3, I get an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error.

The URL specified is "assets/resources/some-page.html" which then is turned into "http://localhost:8080/assets/resources/some-page.html". All whitelisting has been configured to allow this, and using the plugin with external URLs works just fine.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the relative local URL case in an Ionic 3 application using the Cordova InAppBrowser plugin, then compare it with the working external-URL case. Done means assets/resources/some-page.html loads locally without ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED while the configured whitelisting remains effective.
