A standard from has no trailing whitespace after a content-disposition line like so: "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data";" however when using the extra params of Android FileTransfer a space is added on the end "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data"; "
This fix simply removes the trailing whitespace.
PhoneGap 0.9.4 replaced PluginManager.addService() with navigator.app.addService(). This is problematic with the older plugin as they are not being maintained. I'm adding in a PluginManger JavaScript class which will implement the addService method and call navigator.app.addService() method under the hood. This way we won't break old code.
FileTransfer returns FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERR on http 500 error
For some reason on Android if you do a getInputStream() on a HTTP Connection and the server returns a 500 error it will report a FileNotFoundException. Catching this exception and throwing an IOException so that we can report a more accurate error in JavaScript.

User can retrieve PERSISTENT and TEMPORARY file systems, list their
contents, and manipulate files and directories within them.
Modify existing FileWriter implementation
-----------------------------------------
- Change the way user creates a FileWriter. User must either pass a
File object to the FileWriter constructor, or use the
FileEntry.createWriter() method.
- Drop support for the 'filePath' and 'append' parameters in the
FileWriter constructor. The file path is determined from either the
File object passed to the FileWriter constructor, or the FileEntry
object used to create the FileWriter. To append to a file, use the
FileWriter object's seek method:
// writer is a FileWriter object
// seek to length of file to append
writer.seek(writer.length);
Replace FileMgr JavaScript APIs not specified in any File API spec
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.createDirectory(dirName) function. To
create a directory, use the DirectoryEntry.getDirectory() method,
which is part of the File API: Directories and System spec. Set
the Flags.create to 'true':
// directory is a DirectoryEntry object
directory.getDirectory(path, {create:true}, successCB, failCB);
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.getRootPaths() function. To retrieve the
root file systems, use the window.requestFileSystem() function,
which is part of the File API: Directories and System spec.
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.getFileProperties(fileName) function. To
get the properties of a file, use the FileEntry.file() method, which
is part of the File API: Directories and System spec.
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.deleteFile(fileName) function. To delete a
file, use the Entry.remove() method, which is part of the File API:
Directories and System spec.
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.deleteDirectory(dirName) function. To
delete a directory, use the Entry.remove() (if it is empty), or
DirectoryEntry.removeRecursively() methods, which are part of the
File API: Directories and System spec.
Clean up existing FileManager native code. Move some functionality to
file utility class.
