Description

Security features.
IP address of site in https dialogue.
IP address pinning in Domains dialogue?
I think IP address pinning increase security by preventing poison DNS redirect to fake site or MITM when IP address is already pinned no need for dns lookup.

This is a good suggestion. It doesn't look like `WebView` exposes this information directly, but I should be able to pull it using `InetAddress.getAllByName()`.

https://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/InetAddress.html

Note that this would be a separate call for DNS resolution than that used by `WebView`, but in most cases it should return the same results.

I will work on this for the second half of the 2.x series.
