Resolution: Fixed
> 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.
