You can use a FileTransfer object to download a remote image to a local file.

    var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
    var uri = encodeURI("http://some.server.com/download.php");

    fileTransfer.download(
        uri,
        filePath,
        function(entry) {
            console.log("download complete: " + entry.fullPath);
        },
        function(error) {
            console.log("download error source " + error.source);
            console.log("download error target " + error.target);
            console.log("upload error code" + error.code);
        },
        false,
        {
            headers: {
                "Authorization": "Basic dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA=="
            }
        }
    );
