Hi all, What's the status of this?
I realised I couldn't use fileTransfer with headers and therefore couldn't use basic auth to download a file. Then I checked for an existing issue and found one… then THAT led me to this email thread (that I had remembered reading, but didn't care about at the time, heh). Is the plan to polyfill xhr2, or just get people to use xhr2 instead of fileTransfer? IIRC, xhr2 is not supported in Android 2.3.x… due to market share, I really still need to support that Android version, so xhr2 is out for me (unless I am missing something). Has there been any movement on this or did it turn into a general discussion about tracking changes to specs and lose its way? ;) I am probably willing to put my hand up to implement the fix in the Jira issue [1], if it comes to that. - tommy [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-861 On 13/06/2012, at 11:51 AM, Simon MacDonald <simon.macdon...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yup, we need a refresh of all the API's.
