Description

[Transferred from comment in CB-2293]

I'm facing a similar issue. The image upload fails in Windows Phone 8 (Nokia Lumia 720).
I'm using the latest stable version of the plugin r0.4.5 from below.
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer/blob/master/doc/index.md
The example mentioned as part of the plugin document from the above link is not working in Windows Phone 8.
The issue is with sending "params" object as part of the request "options". The upload works when "params" object is removed from the request.
There is a work around for this as we can send the required params as part of the server URL itself.
Example: https://someserver?param1="param1"&param2="param2"
Sending params like above works. But of course your server side code should be able to extract it if required.
But there are many servers which discard any extra param being sent to it as part of the URl and would not consider it.
Anybody facing a similar issue and have found any alternate solution to this?
