Setting username and password in proxy/store

[paul_todd]

How can I inside the store/proxy setup a username and password to access a web service/rest/ajax etc without prompting?

For example I have a delicious account I want to retrieve a set of urls from, for this I need to supply a username and password in order to login and get the data from my account

Is this standard HTTP/Basic Auth or some other mechanism?

[paul_todd]

For now basic auth - specifically access to http://www.delicious.com/ which requires a username and password

I learned this morning that BasicAuth is nothing more than a header which has base64 encoded username:password.

Setting the headers on the proxy object will enable you to do this.

And how can I access the header on JSONP? Via property extraParams?

It's not possible directly on the client-side. Take a look at this stackoverflow question.

Did not solve my problem.

I have now included a button, where I make manually an ajax call to URL.
It is successful, also looking into the header -> Authorization parameter is set.

//try to contact the server
var auth = 'XXX';
var url = 'http://xxx';


// ExtJS
Ext.Ajax.request({
    url : url,
    method : 'GET',
    headers : { Authorization : 'BASIC ' + auth }
});

But the Authorization parameter is still missing in the JSONP requests. Same URL as above.

When entering my Basic Auth information into the popup in the browser, every JSONP requests includes the Authorization parameter - but in an iOS Webview that popup does not appear and therefore I cannot enter the auth information.

Any further help?

It's not possible to send additional headers on a script tag/jsonp request.
