             Summary: Additional http headers for Media plugin
                 Key: CB-8101
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8101
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Plugin Media
            Reporter: Simon Fetzel


To access non-public media files, it is necessary to authenticate with a 
server. To do this, additional http headers are needed.
It would be nice if this could be implemented in all platforms.
I tried to implement it in Android:
https://github.com/sfetzel/cordova-plugin-media/commit/4aa7a05ccf42268e0349aa794568d621a5cd4145
 
I didn't write any unit tests.

Reason to implement this is, that the amount of private clouds (for instance 
ownclouds) are increasing. To write apps, which can stream from such clouds, 
this feature is needed.

Furthermore, playing files from an https server with an self-trusted 
certificate did not work in Android. Connections are "insecure" from such 
servers, but in my opinion they are more secure than an unencrypted connection. 
Therefore there should be an option to enable connections to such servers.
