Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-52:
------------------------------------
[~agrieve] I believe NSURL will encode this from string, not sure (in any case
when the URL is passed through the bridge it's verbatim)
[~purplecabbage] yup, that is the method mentioned in the link in my first
comment. I suppose I could detect the user:pass and just create the appropriate
header (since we have a base64 lib in native). We could do this in JavaScript
automatically but I don't think Cordova includes a js base64 function. As API
implementors I'd rather provide them an easier path as provided by the URL spec
