Support for new Capacitor HTTP plugin?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Is there a way to support the new Capacitor HTTP plugin they demoed at Q3 update?

See: https://youtu.be/NLHF3e4eMtA?t=1908

I've tried adding it to my capacitor.config.json file but nothing seems to have changed and I still get CORS issues.

Its not supported, and I dont think its possible (or there is easy way) to support it. (to create http request in any other context then from the webview running under the electron platform) Since electron itself runs on multiple platforms.

In the end I just disabled CORS in electron setup.ts using:

// Set a CSP up for our application based on the custom scheme
export function setupContentSecurityPolicy(customScheme: string): void {
  session.defaultSession.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders((details, callback) => {
    callback({ requestHeaders: { Origin: '*', ...details.requestHeaders } });
  });

  session.defaultSession.webRequest.onHeadersReceived((details, callback) => {
    callback({
      responseHeaders: {
        ...details.responseHeaders,
        'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': ['*'],
        'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': ['*'],
        // 'Content-Security-Policy': [
        //   electronIsDev
        //     ? `default-src ${customScheme}://* https://* 'unsafe-inline' devtools://* 'unsafe-eval' data:`
        //     : `default-src ${customScheme}://* https://* 'unsafe-inline' data:`,
        // ],
      },
    });
  });
}
