> On Android and iOS (and presumably other platforms), the file transfer plugin will inherit any relevant cookies from the WebBrowser control when communicating with a particular domain. On WP8, however, that is not the case, as HttpWebRequest does not share cookies with the WebBrowser control.
> When cookies are used for authentication, and authentication is required for file uploads, it becomes important to be able to set cookies on the HttpWebRequest containing the upload. This should be supported on WP8 like it is on other platforms.
> I have built a solution to this problem that works; it essentially copies the relevant cookies from the WebBrowser control and manually generates a Cookie header for the HttpWebRequest. Due to some bugs in the version of .NET on WP8, not all cookie data is accessible in this manner (e.g. path, domain), however enough is there to get the job done.
> This fix is more limited to only scenarios where the browser scheme and host match that of the file transfer request to avoid any security issues with cookies going to the wrong domain. In my scenario, I am hosting my web pages remotely, on the same server I upload files to, so this works OK. Unfortunately, it won't help with scenarios where the transfer is to a different remote host.
