CB-8761 [wp8]: Copy cookies from WebBrowser
On other platforms, the cookies from the browser that apply to the
request are automatically included. On WP8, that's not the case.
This commit will copy the cookies from the WebBrowser control, if the
scheme and host of the WebBrowser match that of the HttpWebRequest. For
users who host their web components remotely, and perform
uploads/downloads from the same server using cookie based
authentication, this fix enables that scenario on WP8, and brings it up
to parity with iOS, Android, and others.

> WP8: FileTransfer does not inherit cookies from WebBrowser
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-8761
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8761
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Plugin File Transfer
> Reporter: Dan Polivy
>
> On Android and iOS (and presumably other platforms), the file transfer plugin
> will inherit any relevant cookies from the WebBrowser control when
> communicating with a particular domain. On WP8, however, that is not the
> case, as HttpWebRequest does not share cookies with the WebBrowser control.
> When cookies are used for authentication, and authentication is required for
> file uploads, it becomes important to be able to set cookies on the
> HttpWebRequest containing the upload. This should be supported on WP8 like it
> is on other platforms.
> I have built a solution to this problem that works; it essentially copies the
> relevant cookies from the WebBrowser control and manually generates a Cookie
> header for the HttpWebRequest. Due to some bugs in the version of .NET on
> WP8, not all cookie data is accessible in this manner (e.g. path, domain),
> however enough is there to get the job done.
> This fix is more limited to only scenarios where the browser scheme and host
> match that of the file transfer request to avoid any security issues with
> cookies going to the wrong domain. In my scenario, I am hosting my web pages
> remotely, on the same server I upload files to, so this works OK.
> Unfortunately, it won't help with scenarios where the transfer is to a
> different remote host.
