Missing option to allow PLAIN auth on insecure connection

[epieffe]

Issue #1040 states that PLAIN auth must be refused on insecure connections by default.

However, I can't see an option to override this default behaviour and still allow PLAIN auth on insecure connection.

This would be usefull in development phase when testing on a local network.

Environment

• @xmpp/client 0.14.0

Quick update:

I was able to allow PLAIN auth on insecure connections overriding the isSecure method on the XMPP client:

xmpp.isSecure = () => true

If this is the intended way to override the default behaviour, I guess it should be documented.
However I think there should be a more elegant way to allow PLAIN auth on insecure connections. For example:

let xmpp = client({
  service: 'ws://mydomain.com:5280/xmpp',
  domain: 'mydomain.com',
  username,
  password,
  allowInsecure: true, // Allows PLAIN auth on insecure connection
})
