Description

When I run below code on iOS, no Authorization header being passed, but it works well on Android ( Please see response on attachments )

// Simple HTTPClient request with Authorization header
function request(data) {
	var httpClient = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient({
		onload: function() {
		    Ti.API.info( 'SUCCESS --- ' + this.status + '\n\t' + this.responseText );
	    },
	    onerror: function() {	    	
	    	Ti.API.info( 'ERROR --- ' + this.status + '\n\t' + this.responseText );
		}
	});
	
	httpClient.open('GET', 'http://api-minh.rhcloud.com/'); // This API simply echo all Headers being passed.
	
	// Add Basic Authentication Header
	httpClient.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic ' + Titanium.Utils.base64encode(data.email + ':' + data.token));
	httpClient.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
	
	// Send
	httpClient.send();
}

request({ email: 'verylonglonglong.name@gmail.com', token: '6557e9dd2d747321ecc65' });

I found exact issue described [here](http://yaymedia.net/?p=1323) and his solution works well.

   var h = Titanium.Utils.base64encode(data.email + ':' + data.token).toString();
   h = h.replace(/[\r\n]+/, '');
   httpClient.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic ' + h);

Thanks to [Steve Carpenter](http://yaymedia.net/?page_id=4)
