Description

The InappBrowser hangs the entire application if the URL takes long time to respond or doesn't respond. Even if we manage to close the InAppBrowser using the "Done" button and return to the main application, the application stops responding. The expected behavior is that once we close the child browser by clicking the "Done" button, it should cancel the URL request but this doesn't happen. The application remains in non-responding state.
