Cordova FileTransfer plugin params empty on Android

Question

I have a Cordova app for iOS, which I'm now updating to support Android. I have most of the issues worked out, but the FileTransfer plugin is not including FileUploadOptions.params in the request. Everything works smoothly on iOS. With Android, the request is sent, and everything seems normal except the request that reaches the server has no form fields.

I have set a breakpoint just before calling the upload method, and the options.params object looks correct.

I'm testing with Android 4.4.3, Cordova 3.5, and FileTransfer plugin 0.4.4. The server is running Apache and has SSL enabled.

Here is my code:

var options = new FileUploadOptions();
options.chunkedMode = false;
options.mimeType = 'audio/mp4';
options.fileKey = 'file';
options.fileName = filename;
options.params = {
    'siteId': siteId,
    'name': nameFld.getValue(),
    'date': sqlDate,
    'length': Math.round(storyLength)
};
options.headers={'Authorize': token};

var ft = new FileTransfer();
ft.upload(path, url, uploadSuccess, uploadFail, options);

I found the same issue here, with no response: Phonegap fileTransfer upload doesn't POST params

UPDATE: Opened an issue for this here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7171

Answer 1

The key to making it work set the option.headers:

options.headers = {
    Connection: "close"
}
