Class

HttpClient

HttpClient(api, timeoutopt)

Internally used for communication with the Hanko API. It also handles authorization tokens to enable authorized requests. Currently, there is an issue with Safari and on iOS 15 devices where decoding a JSON response via the fetch API breaks the user gesture and the user is not able to use the authenticator. Therefore, this class uses XMLHttpRequests instead of the fetch API, but maintains compatibility by wrapping the XMLHttpRequests. So, if the issues are fixed, we can easily return to the fetch API.
