How can I add HMAC token to HTML header

[Gary]

How can we add data to the HTML headers sent by the data source?
Is there a function or property that will do this?

Something like this would be a simple fix as JQuery 1.5.* supports adding
a "headers" map to add any custom headers you want.

                        transport: {
                            read: "http://localhost/WebAPITest/api/Transactions",
                            datatype: "json",
                            headers: { Authorization: "user/password" }
                        },

Thanks

Hi,

This can be done like this:

transport: {
  read: {
    read: "http://localhost/WebAPITest/api/Transactions",
    headers: {
      Authorization: "user/password"
    },
    dataType: "json"
  }
}

The reason this works is because all settings specified in the transport's read, update, destroy and create fields are passed to jQuery.ajax.

Ok I have tried this (key without quotes),

transport: {                            
    read: "http://localhost/TestWebAPI/api/Transactions",                            
    headers: { Authorization: "Basic 7kaiuuqtdw7" },                            
    datatype: "json"                        
}

and this (key with quotes),

transport: {                             
    read: "http://localhost/TestWebAPI/api/Transactions",                             
headers: { "Authorization": "Basic 7kaiuuqtdw7" },                             
datatype: "json"                         
}

but do not see the header in the request:

GET /TestWebAPI/api/Transactions?take=10&skip=0&page=1&pageSize=10 HTTP/1.1
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Accept: */*
Referer: http://localhost/TestWebAPI/Transactions.htm
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)

No sign of an Authorization Header.

Any other ideas?

Actually I mis-read your code. So added the Outer "Read" property

Tried this as you said:
transport: {                             
    read: {                                 
        read: "http://localhost/WebAPITest/api/Transactions",                                 
        headers: {                                     
            Authorization: "Basic 872372jhsqhsojh"},                                 
            dataType: "json"                             
    }                         
}

Failed!. The second read should be "url:".
transport: {                             
    read: {                                 
        url: "http://localhost/WebAPITest/api/Transactions",                                 
        headers: {                                     
            Authorization: "Basic 872372jhsqhsojh"},                                 
            dataType: "json"                             
    }                         
}

Great, now I can implement security at the method level but using the transport.
Thanks for the help
