HTTP Basic Authentication with HTTPService Objects in Adobe Flex/AIR

Question

I\'m trying to request a HTTP resource that requires basic authorization headers from within an Adobe AIR application. I\'ve tried manually adding the headers to the request

Answer 1

This really has helped me! Thanks! I use Flex Builder 3

One note: WebService's property headers is read only. So I tried to use httpHeaders. It works!

    var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
    encoder.insertNewLines = false;
    encoder.encode("test:test");

    sfWS.httpHeaders = {Authorization:"Basic " + encoder.toString()};
