Description

Currently, Ti.Platform.openURL will attempt to open the a URI using LaunchUriAsync. However, certain file types won't open. Should we allow the content-type to be specified? We could also use https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh701471.aspx

    var xhr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
    xhr.setTimeout(6e4);

    xhr.onload = function (e) {
        var to = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, 'goalsetting.pdf');
        to.write(xhr.responseData);

        Ti.Platform.openURL('ms-appdata:///local/goalsetting.pdf');
    };
    xhr.onerror = function (e) {
        alert('FAILED TO DOWNLOAD');
    };

    xhr.open('GET', 'http://bdrconsultants.com/goalsetting.pdf');
    xhr.send();
