Description

I did a simple copy and paste:

`var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
var uri = encodeURI("https://www.radiomatese.it/Download/RadioMatese.apk");
var fileURL = "cdvfile://localhost/persistent/path/to/downloads/";

fileTransfer.download(
uri,
fileURL,
function(entry) {
console.log("download complete: " + entry.toURL());
},
function(error) {
console.log("download error source " + error.source);
console.log("download error target " + error.target);
console.log("download error code" + error.code);
},
false, {
headers: {
"Authorization": "Basic dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA=="
}
}
);`

But it doesn't matter what am I wrong?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the pasted JavaScript FileTransfer download example and capture the error callback's source, target, and code. Compare the requested URI, cdvfile destination, and authorization options with the plugin's documented behavior; done means the failure cause and a specific correction are confirmed.
