Dave,
I understand that. I need to authenticate using BASIC authentication.
I have form inputs where the user enters their user name and
password. I then use base64 and encode it.
I am stuck at this point. How can I add in an HTTP header that
includes the encoded authorization string?
This is my current web service call:
private function init():void{
var ws:WebService = new WebService;
var qname:QName = new QName(null, "Authorization");
var str:String = new String("Basic
Y2xhcnVzYWRtaW46Y2xhcnVzYWRtaW4=");
var header:SOAPHeader = new SOAPHeader(qname, str);
ws.useProxy = false;
ws.addHeader(header);ws.loadWSDL("http://sc-vmx-03:4040/clarusipc/services/InventoryService?wsdl";);
ws.makeObjectsBindable = true;
var op:Operation = ws.getOperation("getPhoneCount") as
Operation;
op.arguments.projectId = 1;
op.addEventListener("result", resultHandler);
op.addEventListener("fault", faultHandler);
op.resultFormat= "e4x";
var call:AsyncToken = op.send();
}
As you can see, I can easily add a SOAP header to the request.
However, this is of no use to me I need to send a HTTP Basic
authorization header.
The header should be in the format "Authorization = Basic
Y2xhcnVzYWRtaW46Y2xhcnVzYWRtaW4=".
Is this possible? If so, can you provide an example that illustrates
how to add a custom HTTP header into a web service request?
Thanks,
Phil
