As the title says, I would like to be able to set an "Authorization" header to test secured web services. I've tried adding this functionality myself in the generated code, but didn't really succeed (+ that I don't want to have to modify the generated code every time I want to test secured web services). Just for your interest, some difficulties I encountered in my attempts, are: 1) getting an XMLHttpRequest with an Authorization header to work with CORS (see e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21850454/how-to-make-xmlhttprequest-cross-domain-withcredentials-http-authorization-cor ). 2) the generated JavaScript makes all requests with "async" set to false, while Firefox requires async to be true when XMLHttpRequest.withCredentials is set to true (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12472395/withcredentials-property-is-not-supported-in-firefox )
The requirement is legitimate.
Implemented. See: http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/0daa1335d322
