Question

I am trying to bring up the HTTP authentication box for handling my login. However, I want to communicate to my database through Ajax. But I dont know how to connect the HTTP authentication box with AJAX.

Any Idea, how to do this? Please also include example

Answer 1

(To my surprise) jQuery has built-in support for supplying HTTP auth credentials:

$.ajax({
    url: "http://example.org/",
    username: "NAMENAMENAMENAMENAME",
    password: "PWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPWPW",
    ...
})

Or you can override the XMLHttpRequest object like in this example: http://dothow.blogspot.com/2009/05/http-basic-authentication-with-jquery.html
