Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-52:
------------------------------------
Rather than handle a new property for
FileUploadOptions:http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.5.0/cordova_file_file.md.html#FileUploadOptions
, I would transparently handle this through the URL itself. So if a username
and password pair are in the URL like so:
http://myusername:[email protected]/?foo=bar
I would save the credentials, then when I get a HTTP Basic Auth challenge, use
those creds.
We could use this for FileTransfer download transparently as well.

> Basic Authentication credentials. Combined with HTTPS, Basic Authentication
> can introduce minimal security when upload files.
