Getting URL of InAppBrowser

Question

Using InAppBrowser I wish to get the URL of the site the user is currently on, when he chooses to close the InAppBrowser.

Adding an eventlistener for the exit event doesn't seem to return the URL.

My first thought for a workaround was subscribing to the loadstart event, and getting the URL from there, thus always having the "most recent" URL. However this doesn't always fire when the user presses the back-button.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Using PhoneGap 2.8.0

Using 3.1 it is fairly simple

you just add an event on load start. or load stop.

 var ref = window.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'location=yes');
 ref.addEventListener('loadstart', function() { alert(event.url); });
