Current Behavior
In a previous version of Capacitor's Filesystem plugin, I was able to download files from private URLs using the downloadUrl function, after authenticating via cookies.
In the current version of the file-transfer capacitor, this approach no longer works. When I try to access the private URL using the exact same HTTP request, I receive a 401 Unauthorized response.
Expected Behavior
The call to download the file should send the cookie header too.
Code Reproduction
// my code using Filesystem that worked when the user is authenticated in myapp
let requestConfig: HttpOptions = {
url: downloadApiUrl,
method: 'get',
connectTimeout: API_TIMEOUT_SECS * 1000,
headers: {
'X-USER-Api-Client': 'mobile',
'X-USER-Session': mySessionHeader
},
webFetchExtra: {
'credentials': 'include',
}
}
const resultApi = await Filesystem.downloadFile({
path: destPath,
directory: destDir,
recursive: true,
progress: true,
...requestConfig
} as DownloadFileOptions);
// my new code using Filetransfer - not working when the downloadApiUrl is private and the user is authenticated in myapp
let requestConfig: HttpOptions = {
url: downloadApiUrl,
method: 'get',
connectTimeout: API_TIMEOUT_SECS * 1000,
headers: {
'X-USER-Api-Client': 'mobile',
'X-USER-Session': mySessionHeader
},
webFetchExtra: {
'credentials': 'include',
}
}
// First get the full file path using Filesystem
const fileInfo = await Filesystem.getUri({
directory: destDir,
path: destPath
});
const resultApi = await FileTransfer.downloadFile({
...requestConfig,
path: fileInfo.uri,
progress: true
}); // the http response is 401
It seems that using FileTransfer.downloadFile the request do not contains Cookie headers
