Description

A lot of times an image requires requestheaders, like oAuth/basic auth or others before it can be loaded. Right now a workaround is needed to get these images (doing a XHR call to fetch images, then insert it into imageview). However, by adding support for requestheaders to ImageViews a workaround would not be needed anymore. A possible example of implementation:

Ti.UI.createImageView({
    url: 'http://example.com/my_image.png',
    requestHeaders: {
        'Authorization' : 'Bearer myToken'
    }
});

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       backgroundColor: '#fff'
   });
   
   var image = Ti.UI.createImageView({
       image: 'http://hans-knoechel.de/test/test.png',
       requestHeaders: {
           'Authorization' : 'Basic ' + Titanium.Utils.base64encode('hans:test')
       }
   });
   
   win.add(image);
   win.open();

Awaiting Android and Windows before reviewing this. Probably rather going into 6.2.0, since Android could take time.

Abir Mukherjee 2017-08-17 [~gmathews] Is this feature going into 6.2.0 for Android? [~kiguchi] Same question to you for Windows. cc: [~emerriman]
Hans Knöchel 2017-08-21 Moved out of 6.2.0 as we are close to RC at this point.
Rene Pot 2017-10-20 Will this get into the 6.3 release?
Hans Knöchel 2017-10-20 No, it's scheduled for 7.0.0 (see above).
Vijay Singh 2017-11-13 [~hknoechel] Can you add an image at given url (http://hans-knoechel.de/test/test.png) in test case. Thanks.
Hans Knöchel 2017-11-13 [~vijaysingh] URL restored. [~lchoudhary] I don't think Android / Windows has been implemented for this feature, yet. I recommend to push it out of 7.0.0 as there were also no community efforts here, which was the initial plan here.

Kota Iguchi 2018-02-09 I just split out Windows component target to TIMOB-25764; because I'm not yet sure if we can make Windows Ti SDK ready for 7.1.0.
Lokesh Choudhary 2018-02-22 Found issues commented in the PR's for android.
Hans Knöchel 2018-05-15 For all watchers: We decided to go with a CommonJS module here that will make sure of the existing Ti.Network.HTTPClient. It will be released via Github and won't require an SDK update.
