javascript - Can xmlHttpRequest access the Authorization header in Firefox -


i may missing obvious... but

i trying enhance native subversion http access greasemonkey plugin. @ moment using cgi scripts run propfind etc. subverts security although work.

i have downloaded javascript dav client want http://debris.demon.nl/projects/davclient.js/. assuming can use user credentials supplied, should able extended subversion information using javascript correct security.

we run basic authentication on subversion server , not know how make xmlhttprequest in library inherit pre-existing browser authentication details. xmlhttprequest returns 401 although calling page authenticated , on same domain.

you can specify authorization header manually using .setrequestheader(header, value).

according the spec:

if user agent supports http authentication , authorization not in list of author request headers [set setrequestheader], should consider requests originating xmlhttprequest object part of protection space includes accessed uris , send authorization headers , handle 401 unauthorized requests appropriately.

this seems mean if user has supplied authentication credentials resource, xhr automatically use them.
