Description

It would be great to support headers for FileTransfer's iOS version (as done in Android: CB-78).

Right now, I had redefined CDVFileTranfer for our needs and added just after userAgent definition:

if(userAgent)

{ [req setValue: userAgent forHTTPHeaderField:@"User-Agent"]; }

NSMutableDictionary* headers = [params objectForKey:@"headers"];
NSEnumerator *enumerator = [headers keyEnumerator];
id key;
id val;
NSString *nkey;

while (nkey = [enumerator nextObject]) {
val = [headers objectForKey:nkey];
if(!val || val == [NSNull null])

{ continue; }

// if it responds to stringValue selector (eg NSNumber) get the NSString
if ([val respondsToSelector:@selector(stringValue)])

{ val = [val stringValue]; }

// finally, check whether it is a NSString (for dataUsingEncoding selector below)
if (![val isKindOfClass:[NSString class]])

{ continue; }

//if ([key respondsToSelector:@selector(stringValue)])

{ [req setValue:val forHTTPHeaderField:nkey]; //}

}

If you can include this code or similar one into future version of Cordova it will be awesome.

Thanks,
