How to add Authorization header to AJAX requests

conrad10781

Our API endpoint makes use of HTTP authentication. Currently, with jQuery we do the following:

[code]
$.ajax({
....
beforeSend: function (xhr){
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', apiAuthorization);
},
....
});
[/code]

Is there anyway to apply this logic to the DataTables utility?

I found the solution. Using "fnServerData" ( http://datatables.net/usage/callbacks#fnServerData ) I was able to add the beforeSend.

Perfect - fnServerData is the way to go. In v1.10 there will be an `ajax` option which will be easier to use.
