How to set Authorization and Timeout

[sunnybogawat]

I am doing a get request and I need to pass the authorization token in the request also I need to override the timeout setting. I haven't found any way to do that in the documentation.

See this section of the readme for header syntax. See #175 for timeout discussion.

I am following the same way but when I debugged the ajax request I am not able to see the authorization token. I am doing cross origin request.

fetch('/users', {
method: 'post',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Token token=xxxxx'
}})

The Chrome Network panel can help debug cross-origin requests.

First, disable the cache so the OPTIONS pre-flight request will occur for each cross-origin request.

Then in the Network panel you can see both the OPTIONS pre-flight and the subsequent actual request. It's likely that OPTIONS is failing so your request is never made.

Thanks for a quick reply. I have the same setting in my chrome agent and I am passing the token to the fetch request also but somehow it failing at OPTIONS request. Please find below screen shot to understand the workflow

The server is returning a 401 Unauthorized response to the OPTIONS request. HTML 5 Rocks has a good tutorial on how cross-origin requests work on the client and server.
