Description

In Cordova 5.0.0 I was able to host from a local webserver using by specifying the following in my config.xml:

<content src="http://[ip]:[port]"/>
<allow-intent href="*"/>

After updating to Cordova 5.2.0 this no longer works. In the Android app the following message is shown:

Application Error

There was a network error. (http://[ip]:[port])

To trigger this, the project must be cleaned between updating from Cordova 5.0.0 to 5.2.0.
