Cordova Download Plugin

====

:warning: DEPRECATED, use https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer instead

Simple plugin allows native downloads from javascript and get notified via a progress callback.

The plugin is known to work from cordova 1.7 to 2.0

 - multiple concurrent downloads

 - progress callbacks for downloads and unzip operations

 - auto detect ZIP files, unzip then delete original zip

 - files are extracted in the `NSDocumentDirectory`of the application but you can override

 - iOS only at the moment

 

Proudly made by the [revolunet team][2]

Example :

--

    window.plugins.Download.start(

        // File to download

        'https://github.com/revolunet/incubator-cordova-js/zipball/master', 

        // success callback

        function() { $(#'progress').html("SUCCESS"); },

        // failure callback

        function() { $(#'progress').html("FAILURE"); },

        // progress callback

        function(infos) { 

            var statusText = window.plugins.Download.status[infos.status];

            $(#'progress').html =  statusText + ' ' + infos.progress;

        }

        // here you can specify an absolute output directory where to place the file

        // eg: '/Documents/mydownloads'

    );

There is a full working example at `index.html`.

Installation :

--

 - meet dependencies

 - add FileDownload and FileDownloadPlugin to your iOS project

 - add a reference to the plugin in your `Cordova.plist`, as `name=FileDownloadPlugin, value=FileDownloadPlugin`

Dependencies :

--

 - [ASI http request][0]

 - [SSZipArchive][1]

 - The HTML demo page use [Lea Verou Progress polyfill][3] because YES, <progress> is not yet implemented in Safari

Todo :

--

 - ~~Use `content-type` HTTP header instead of extension to detect ZIPs~~
