             Summary: Windows 8 - resolveLocalFileSystemURI fails when trying to resolve ms-appdata URLs
                 Key: CB-7266
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7266
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugin File, Windows 8
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
         Environment: Windows 8.1; Visual Studio 2013 Professional; Cordova 3.5.0 (running on a WinRT Surface)
            Reporter: Kelvin Dart
            Assignee: Jesse MacFadyen
            Priority: Critical


When I take a photo using, for example, the following code:

{code:javascript}
navigator.camera.getPicture(
	function (uri) {
		var image = document.getElementById('myImg');
		image.src = uri;
	},
	function () {
		// Do nothing for now
	});
{code}

The uri returned in the success function is of the following format:
{code}
ms-appdata:///local/camera_cordova_temp_return.jpg
{code}

Which is good! However, I am attempting to resolve this image to a b64 string, using window.resolveFileSystem.URL - but this is failing.

I have debugged the problem and have noticed the issue is related to the following part of the function:
{code}
if (path.substr(0, 8) == "file:///") {
	path = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current.localFolder.path + "\\" + String(path).substr(8);
} else {
	// method should not let read files outside of the [APP HASH]/Local or [APP HASH]/temp folders
	if (path.indexOf(Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current.temporaryFolder.path) != 0 &&
		path.indexOf(Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current.localFolder.path) != 0) {
		fail && fail(FileError.ENCODING_ERR);
		return;
	}
}
{code}

The code is only able to resolve either a URI of type C: or file:// - nothing else (and so, never ms-appdata).

Can this be altered so ms-appdata can be resolved and I can convert my image to B64?

Thanks
