Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When i visit this project in github, i see https://img.shields.io/maintenance/yes/2021?style=flat-square indicating this plugin is no longer maintained, but i'm not sure if that means i should or shouldn't use this plugin. i am confused

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like the README updated to tell me if i should use this plugin. if i should not use this plugin, then i'd like some direction on what to use.

Describe alternatives you've considered I searched google and found a proposal for NHttp but don't know if it is available.

I wouldn't say it's unmaintained. More like "maintenance mode." If there are critical security flaws I'll update the plugin. But for now there aren't and I unfortunately don't have time to work on new features. But the Ionic team plans on adding taking this plugin as a base for Capacitor 4 and making it a native plugin.

If this plugin doesn't work for you, you could try cordova-plugin-advanced-http. But at the moment, this plugin works for many use cases and doesn't have any security issues.
