Basic Auth

[Urbiwanus]

URLS with basic auth. are not working right

like https://username:password@domain/mainfest.json

Found one issue in the bootstrap.js
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic ...);

is missing.

Also the cordova file loader does not set the right headers for downloading

authHeaderValue = function(username, password) {
    var tok = username + ':' + password;
    var hash = btoa(tok);
    return "Basic " + hash;
};

options.headers = {'Authorization': authHeaderValue('Bob', '1234') };

I found a woring solution

following changes work for me

I changed every XMLHttpRequest ( bootstrap.js ,CordovaAppLoader.js, CordovaPromise.js ) to

            var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
            var parser = document.createElement('a');  // Poor mans url parser
            parser.href = url;
        xhr.responseType = "blob";
            xhr.open('GET', url, true, parser.username, parser.password);  // New XmlhttpRequest 

            //Check if username is present ( default empty string )
            if (parser.username.length > 0) {
                xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + btoa(parser.username + ':' + parser.password));
            }

If its ok , i would send a PR

Regards

P.s I m not sure if i missed something could only test on Android yet

Unfortunately the poor mans url parser does not work on ios
