Download a file received via HTML Response in phonegap (android platform)

I am receiving a file from the http response like 

http://max.com/test/getDoc?file=Zsdeiyigkbmf=asdasdhhghGthDEGB=b==cd

the pdf exists in the server and on a successful ajax call returns the path in binary array. It HAS to be encrypted I cannot see the actual path. It fetches and downloads the required pdf file directly after the following code is executed - 

window.location="http://max.com/test/getDoc?file=Zsdeiyigkbmf=asdasdhhghGthDEGB=b==cd"

Now this code works fine on chrome or any other browser. However, the same code doesn't work in phonegap cordova (version 4.2.0). No error, no message from the client.

As Cordova 5.0.0, it is required you use the whitelist system. As such, you need to know the domainname of the servers you are talking to.

The solution I am going to give you is for general development. This method is NOT for production or final release, as both Google and Apple will reject your app; unless you have a very good reason to us this!

This whitelist worksheet should help.
HOW TO apply the Cordova/Phonegap the whitelist system

It is required as of Cordova Tools 5.0.0 (April 21, 2015).
For Phonegap Build, that means since cli-5.1.1 (16 Jun 2015)

Add this to your config.xml

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist"      source="npm" spec="1.1.0" />
<allow-navigation href="*" />
<allow-intent href="*" />
<access origin="*" /> <!-- Required for iOS9 -->

NOTE YOUR APP IS NOW INSECURE. IT IS UP TO YOU TO SECURE YOUR APP. Add the following to your index.html

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" 
         content="default-src *; 
                  style-src * 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; 
                  script-src * 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval';">
