Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-52:
------------------------------------
Ok, this is what I'm going to do. I'll add this to cordova-js. Some platforms
that don't support window.btoa (like WP7) won't get this feature of course.
Example code (the gist of it):
{code}
var target =
"http://username:[email protected]/some/path?name=value#anchor";
if (window.btoa) {
// parse the url using the Location object
var url = document.createElement('a');
url.href = target;
// check whether there are the username:password credentials in the url
var credentials = null;
if (url.href.indexOf(url.origin) != 0) { // credentials found
var protocol = url.protocol + "//";
var atIndex = url.href.indexOf("@");
credentials = url.href.substring(protocol.length, atIndex);
}
if (credentials) {
var authHeader = "Authorization";
var authHeaderValue = "Basic " + window.btoa(credentials);
// TODO: add this to the FileTransfer headers, etc
}
}
{code}
