Overview
A Flutter plugin for iOS and macOS that leverages the native Foundation URL Loading System to handle HTTP requests. It provides a reliable, platform-specific implementation for network communication, ensuring compatibility with system-level networking features such as certificate pinning, proxy settings, and secure connection handling. This package is particularly useful when developers need to integrate with native iOS/macOS networking behaviors or require advanced security configurations not available in standard Dart HTTP clients.
