Description

On the wp8 platform, cookies are always copied from the webbrowser when performing a request (introduced in https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer/pull/74 ).
However, only the cookies for the currently loaded URL are copied. This makes it impossible to pass cross domain cookies.

We have written a fix based on using a different webrequest constructor: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer/pull/90 .
