-------------------------------
Summary: Impossible to resume FileTransfer download
Key: CB-8471
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8471
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin File Transfer
Reporter: Mike Dawson
Problem is when using the FileTransfer plugin to download a file, if the file
is interrupted it will get automatically deleted. It is therefor impossible to
implement any kind of resume logic to resume the download and one can only
restart from scratch. If you are downloading on unreliable networks then your
chances of ever succeeding will be very poor with larger files.
This is what happens on Android (FileTransfer.java line 948):
// Remove incomplete download.
if (!cached && result.getStatus() != PluginResult.Status.OK.ordinal() && file
!= null) {
file.delete();
}
I suggest there should be an option keepIncompleteDownload that would allow the
partial download to be kept. Developers could then implement their own logic
in Javascript to get the next part of the file using range headers and
concatenate the parts together to reform the whole file.
