DataSource and Authentication

[Kakone]

Hello,

I have an OData service with custom basic authentication. With your dataSource, how can I set the username and the password ? Can I access the request headers ?

Cordially,
Kakone.

Hello, 

Did you ever find a solution to your answer? I tried header authentication: 

transport: {

   read: {

      url: "https://example.com/mydata/", // the remove service url

      dataType: "jsonp",

        beforeSend: function(req) {

         req.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic asdfjaosihn*&==);

    }

   }

},

But I'm reading that its not possible like this (ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3073336/is-it-possible-to-make-cross-domain-requests-in-javascript-and-set-custom-header). 

Were you able to find a solution?

Thanks, 

Tom
