Hey braintrust,

I'm making an ajax call using jQuery's library to an api, which requires a username and password encoded to base64 be added to the header.

here's a basic example:

$.ajax({ type: "GET", contentType: 'application/json', beforeSend:function(xhr){ xhr.setRequestHeader("Authentication", "Basic " + base64EncodedValue); } url: 'https://api.company.com/uri/', complete: function(result) { alert(result); } });

But when this fires off, I get a black alert box, so it doesn't appear as if something is coming back. There is no log in the Firebug console that a get ajax request was done.

However, if I remove the beforeSend option, I do see the ajax request get logged, but the request gets back a 'not authorized', so it definitely hit the right place.

Any ideas on why it's not showing up in Firebug so I can verify the headers are being sent out correctly?
