fetch

The Fetch function can be used to make HTTP request and to read resources that are part of the application.

When a relative URL is given, Tabris.js will interpret it as a path relative to the application’s main package.json. This allows you to read static resources, i.e. the files residing in your project folder and not excluded via .tabrisignore. You can also use URLs relative to the current module by using the __dirname variable, e.g. fetch(__dirname + "/foo.txt");.

:point_right: To enable access to SSL protected resources that use self signed certificates add them to app.trustedCertificates. Alternatively you can disable the UseStrictSSL preference in the config.xml to accept all certificates. See Building a Tabris.js App.
