HTTP Basic Auth implementation

[apsylone]

I would like to use the adapter with HTTP Basic Auth. It seems like I have to modify the file in order to have the "username" and "password" headers set.

It would be really useful to implements the method.

you can use the header functionality, look here: https://github.com/viezel/napp.alloy.adapter.restapi/blob/master/restapi.js#L51

[apsylone]

Yes but I think we should maybe use the class properly : http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Network.HTTPClient-property-password http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Network.HTTPClient-property-username http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Network.HTTPClient-property-withCredentials

authString: 'Basic ' + Titanium.Utils.base64encode(username+':'+password),

[viezel]

no, because you cannot access the httpclient with standard backbone methods. This is why header is used..

[apsylone]

You should maybe put an example in the documentation so... :-) Or explaining me 'how to' add headers :-)

[viezel]

sure.. Its all in the Backbone docs..

collection.fetch({
    headers: {
        Authorization: 'Basic ' + Titanium.Utils.base64encode(username+':'+password)
    }
});

Great ! Really thanks for your help... Sorry for the question, i'm not comfortable with Backbone...

[viezel]

sure thing.. :)

Just wanted to throw in that the param name should be 'headers' rather than 'header'

Threw me off for a bit.

[viezel]

sorry about that.. Ive updated the comment.

No worries. Thanks for the great adapter. Cheers!
