Does it possible to use both jsonp and Bearer Authorization in an Ajax call ?

Vincent Godé

Hello,

I face an strange things when I trying to send a request to a remote server protected by Bearer authorization : my bearer token is not include in in request .

This is the code :

    editorTranslations = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
            ajax: {
                create: {
                    type: "GET",
                    url:  "{{ urlCreate }}",
                    dataType: "jsonp",
                    headers: {
                        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                        "Authorization": "Bearer {{ bearerToken }}"
                    },
                },
                edit: {
                    type: "GET",
                    url:  "{{ urlUpdate }}",
                    dataType: "jsonp",
                    headers: {
                        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                        "Authorization": "Bearer {{ bearerToken }}"
                    },
                },
                remove: {
                    type: "GET",
                    url:  "{{ urlDelete }}",
                    dataType: "jsonp",
                    headers: {
                        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                        "Authorization": "Bearer {{ bearerToken }}"
                    },
                }
            },
            ...
    }

And this is the request sent :

As you can see, no bearer

But I remove the dataType: "jsonp", the bearer is well include :

So, just to know, is it possible to use both jsonp and bearer Authorization? Or jsonp means no bearer ?

Note : as explained here https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/comment/64693/#Comment_64693, I use GET for all my REST method because of jsonp.

Thanks

Ok, found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7433556/jquery-jsonp-ajax-authentication-header-not-being-set, so it seems that not, this is not possible. And this is not related to Datatable.

Yes - JSONP is incompatible with that unfortunately since it is just inserting a <script> tag and you can't set headers for that.

The only way around this is to use something other than JSONP. If it is a remote server with a different URL, then you would need a proxy on your own host server.

you would need a proxy on your own host server.

Exactly, this is what I did, and it works .
