How to send special headers on handshake?

[André Oliveira]

Hi!

In our application with cometd 4.0.3 javascript library we are facing some problems. In the config of cometd we're adding the Basic Authorization header to the requestHeaders property. Because of that, all the requests sent to the server are trying to authenticate the user on the LDAP server. We want to send the authorization header only for the handshake (without setting the requestHeaders property), is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Yes, `requestHeaders` is an object and therefore mutable.
You can assign the additional headers before the handshake, and clear
`requestHeaders` after the handshake, in a handshake callback.

I'll take care of updating the documentation.
