Adding a custom header to HTTP request using angular.js

Question

I am a novice to angular.js, and I am trying to add some headers to a request:

   var config = {headers: {
            \'Authorization\': \'Basic d2VudHdvcnR         


        

Answer 1

What you see for OPTIONS request is fine. Authorisation headers are not exposed in it.

But in order for basic auth to work you need to add: withCredentials = true; to your var config.

From the AngularJS $http documentation:

withCredentials - {boolean} - whether to to set the withCredentials flag on the XHR object. See requests with credentials for more information.
