The ability to read files in Android StreamingAssets

[sableangle]

On Android platform, streamingAssets is place inside APK file.
Like this: "jar:file://" + Application.dataPath + "!/assets".

The recommend way to load those assets by Unity is to use UnityWebRequest to send a request to download a file.

I try to replace the UnityWebRequest directly by using the Best/Https's HTTPRequest, but seems HTTPRequest is not support the scheme "jar:file://" and return errors.

Just trying to port an app using Best HTTP for all loading to Android. We use "SteamingAssets" for user-readable level files and it's failing complaining:

BestHTTP.AsyncHTTPException
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: port

Could a viable workaround start with special-casing URLs starting "jar:file:" on Android platform? (perhaps to use Unity's WebRequest for now?)
