Andrew, I am happy to have a look and see if it's something I can do…
I actually thought from the JIRA ticket that iOS already had the headers in downloads, but looking at the source, it doesn't look like it does. Not sure why I was thinking that... I would probably only be able to do iOS and Android as the other platforms are way out of my comfort-zone. I'll have a look now and see if I can get something working. - tommy On 23/02/2013, at 4:39 AM, Andrew Grieve <[email protected]> wrote: > My take on this: Now that we've investigated xhr2 a bit, polyfilling will > be close to impossible, so we should spend the time to add to add these > missing features to FileTransfer.
