We do exactly this and now Update 3 has been released it appears that
the ability to change the Authorization header has been removed.
What is the 'official' work around for this ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Gunnar, although I've not tried this yet, I think that you may be
able to pre-authenticate with BASIC auth if you set the
Authorization header on HTTPService. I recently discovered that the
Authorization header is not one of the request headers disallowed by
flash.net.URLRequest (which is ultimately used by by HTTPService to
prepare a request to send over HTTP) so this approach should be
technically possible. Note that you will need to Base64 encode the
credentials from the String username:password into an encoded form.
myHTTPService.headers.Authorization = Basic +
base64EncodedCredentials;
Note that there is an undocumented mx.utils.Base64Encoder class in
Flex that we plan to formally document in Flex 3.0.

Hi,
This new release Flex is really great! The new AdvancedDataGrid has
probably saved us months of work :)
But there is one thing I'm wondering about: Has there been any
changes to HTTPService? Does it support BASIC authentication? If not -
is this an issue that the Flex team will address in the future?
Best,
Gunnar A. Reinseth

I'm not bothered about an installer, I just didn't want to have to
download
all of FlexBuilder to get at one SWC inside it.
On first tests, it seems Flex3 runs existing code fine (apart from
the known
Caringorm issue) which is good news, and my pet charting bug has
even been
addressed.
