ATS HTTP Request using NSURLConnection

Hello,


I am well aware from searching and reading other members' posts that NSURLConnection is going to be deprecated starting iOS 9 and replaced with NSURLSession. I am also aware that NSURLSessions cannot make requests to http domains without modifying the info.plist file. However, when I was using the previous version of iOS9 (beta 3), I was able to successfully use NSURLConnections to make requests to http domains without being blocked by ATS. After upgrading to beta 4, even NSURLConnection requests are being blocked.


Is this intentional as part of Apple's movement to only support HTTPS requests, or will I be able to make http requests without modifying info.plist as long as I use NSURLConnections?


Thanks

I noticed the similar behavior. Could Apple team confirm if it is expected?
