> 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 (I'm writing an app called "WebPlayer" which uses
> this, at the moment it is non-public).
> 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. I
> didn't find a way to allow such connections in Android. The only workaround I
> found was to use a VPN connection like openvpn or L2TP (which are on most
> devices supported).
