Merge not working on iOS and wp8

[timkim]

Trying to get the delta updates working on the phonegap developer app but it appears that the merge isn't quite working on iOS and wp8.

So the initial content sync:

uri = encodeURI(options.address + '/__api__/appzip');
sync = ContentSync.sync({ src: uri, id: 'phonegapdevapp', type: 'replace', copyCordovaAssets: true });
sync.on('complete', function(data) {
    window.location.href = data.localPath + '/www/index.html';
});

And then the merge code:

uri = encodeURI(options.address + '/__api__/update');
sync = ContentSync.sync({ src: uri, id: 'phonegapdevapp', type: 'merge', copyCordovaAssets: false });
sync.on('complete', function(data) {
    window.location.reload();
});

On iOS, it receives the new zip, successfully unzips but never displays the new content. I have to look further into wp8 but I suspect it might not be playing nice with the server.

I can confirm that this works on ios although it does throw a lot of warnings: eg:

2015-07-16 14:51:32.484 PhoneGap[547:7a03] NSURLProtocolNoCache request was cancelled.
2015-07-16 14:51:32.489 PhoneGap[547:7a03] NSURLProtocolNoCache request was cancelled.
2015-07-16 14:51:32.492 PhoneGap[547:7a03] NSURLProtocolNoCache request was cancelled.

On wp8, it appears the problem is with connect-phonegap and not preserving sessionIDs. ie, wp8 likes to have two (maybe more?) session IDs which really messes up which files it needs to update.
