HTTP Authentication not supported about chrome-rest-client HOT 5 CLOSED

According XMLHttpRequest level 2 spec:
"If authentication fails, Authorization is not in the list of author request 
headers, request username is null, and request password is null, user agents 
should prompt the end user for their username and password."
This is exactly the case. Chrome Rest Client do not set any credentials for 
user.
That is mean browser implementation of XMLHttpRequest l.2 is broken. 
But You always should use Authorization header to reflect real communication eg:
Authorization: Basic dGVzdGVyOnRlc3Rlcg==

You have helper program to fill Authorization header. Enter "Authorization" to 
header name field and click to header value field. You should see "construct" 
popup. You can authorization enter data there and construct proper header 
value. 

Hi,

I agree, it looks like the browser's XMLHttpRequest is broken in the latest
build. I will check this and file a bug in Chrome.

that helps 

Seems like a really advanced rest client... doesn't even support 
authentication. You might want to change the title of the app or fix this 
issue. 

themattreid, that's unhelpful. The issue's been explained and the fault doesn't 
lie with this app. Auth support is great - aside from being a perfectly usable 
solution for this problem, that construction helper even includes a nice OAuth 
header constructor. Those kinds of touches are what makes this extension worthy 
of the "Advanced" in the name.
