Hey braintrust,
I'm making an ajax call using jQuery's library to an api, which requires a username and password encoded to base64 be added to the header.
here's a basic example:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
contentType: 'application/json',
beforeSend:function(xhr){
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authentication", "Basic " + base64EncodedValue);
}
url: 'https://api.company.com/uri/',
complete: function(result) {
alert(result);
}
});
But when this fires off, I get a black alert box, so it doesn't appear as if something is coming back. There is no log in the Firebug console that a get ajax request was done.
However, if I remove the beforeSend option, I do see the ajax request get logged, but the request gets back a 'not authorized', so it definitely hit the right place.
Any ideas on why it's not showing up in Firebug so I can verify the headers are being sent out correctly?
