[webkit-help] HTTP Authorization Header not seen, when using XHR with username/password on webkit

[Stuart Chi Chuen Ng]

Hi:

I am trying to send an XHR request with username and password as arguments:

Xhr.open('GET', '', false, 'user', 'password');

Questions:


 *   By calling this and then send, should I see the 'Authorization' HTTP Header being sent with username/password Base 64 encoded? I use Packet sniffer and can not see this header being sent at all.
 *   Does this only work after a HTTP 401 was received?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Stuart
