Basic Authentication with Alamofire

Question

Experiencing an issue when authenticating with Basic Auth. I am using a standard enum that conforms to URLRequestConvertible protocol to construct my requests.

Answer 1

Alamofire provides an even easier approach than manually creating your own headers.

The relevant piece of code from "Basic Auth" section here:

  manager.request(.GET, "https://api.parse.com/1/classes/Spot/")
    .authenticate(user: username, password: password)
    .responseSpotsArray { response in
      completionHandler(response.result)
    }
