Re: $resource calls with Basic Authentication required, how can I do that?

[Roberto Martínez]

Hi Rameesh

I wonder if you figured the solution of this. I'm trying to build something like you mentioned. Thanks!

Thank you very much for the direction, that helped.

I'm now looking for changing the header at runtime. For instance, a user enter a name/password pair and I need to pass that through a header before I hit the $resource call. Any ideas on that?

I can't answer your Basic Authentication question, but I did recently have to set a custom header on all $resource calls from my application:

    .config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {

      $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Auth'] = apiKey;

    }]);

The $httpProvider.defaults.headers object is probably where you are going to find your solution.  The common object will set headers for all $http requests, though you can be more granular and set them for specific methods as well (GET, POST, etc.) 

The documentation can be found here: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$http under "Setting HTTP Headers".

How can I use the $resource service to call RESTful resources that requires Basic Authentication? How can I pass the user/password? Any links/posts/ideas are really appreciated.

A more general question: How I can define the Request Headers while using $resource?

Forgive the newbie questions. A couple of weeks and you'll find me answering similar questions myself :)

+1 from me on this.

Requests with credentials are only mentioned once in Angular's $http docs:

http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$http

Ive found a way to easily make basic authentication via $resource.

First you need to get Authentication key from API, so you should call $http POST(with your username/password) to server.

If return is success just get authentication key as return, fill $http.defaults.headers.common.Authorization variable with that key.

You can do $resource as it is described everywhere call after that and it will work since $http is dependency of $resource.

Hope that helps.
