Connect via https and download file ionic3

Is that a way to connect to a server via https and download a file. I'm using File Transfer but I can't authenticate. (Using wget I can access)

This is what a try :

let url = "https://0.0.0.0:0000/maps/"+element['file'];
                  this.fileTransfer = this.transfer.create();
                  this.fileTransfer.download(url, res.nativeURL+""+element['file']).then((entry) => {
                    console.log('download complete: ' + entry.toURL());
                  }, (error) => {
                    console.log(error);
                  });

The url is not my real url, just to show you. Any idea? I have to put username and password. Like for api in header append.

According to the Ionic 3 docs you can use headers with the download function.

https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/file-transfer/#download

download(source, target, trustAllHosts, Optional)

Param | Type | Details

Optional | object | parameters, currently only supports headers (such as Authorization (Basic Authentication), etc).

Example:

let options = {
    headers: {
        "Authorization": "Basic dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA=="
    }
}

this.fileTransfer.download(url, res.nativeURL + "" + element['file'], false, options).then((entry) => {
    console.log('download complete: ' + entry.toURL());
}, (error) => {
    console.log(error);
});
