Description

When attempting to upload an image using FileTransfer.upload iOS consistently returns a Forbidden error. The same code works on Android using the same plugin version and same server.

Prior to cordova-ios@4 and iOS10 the Forbidden error was not encountered.

Server authentication is via a basic-auth entry in the header. The request never even makes it to the server so appears to be blocked by the client.
