[jira] [Commented] (CB-2183) [iOS] FileTransfer.didReceiveResponse may not return NSHTTPURLResponse

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2183?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13550485#comment-13550485 ] 

Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-2183:
--------------------------------------

Confirmed on a device. Note that there are different results on device vs simulator - the Simulator does not exhibit the same behaviour (the didReceiveResponse selector is never called for a file:// url)

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: iOS
>    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
>         Environment: Tested on iOS 5.1 and 6.0
>            Reporter: William Wong

> When FileTransfer.download() is downloading a file from file:///, NSURLConnection did not return with NSHTTPURLResponse. This will fail for apps that copy files from www/, e.g. apps that initialize its database from a pre-built cache packaged in IPA.
> In CB-1600 (fixed in 2.2.0), the fix assumes all response must be NSHTTPURLResponse. So when FileTransfer.download() is downloading from a file:/// URL (e.g. copying file from www/ folder to Documents/), FileTransfer assumed the download operation failed and returned 403.
> Tested if we comment out CB-1600, downloading from file:/// works again.
> We need to find out a better fix instead of commenting out CB-1600.
> According to http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/URLLoadingSystem/URLLoadingSystem.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000165i, URL of file:/// is supported.
> You can test FileTransfer.download() by calling it with "encodeURI(document.location.href)" as the "source" parameter.
