Setting the Authorize header to use a bearer token

[Pedro Salgueiro]

Hi,

Can you please showcase how can I intercept the request being sent to the server to add an authorization token to the request?

Kind Regards,

Hi Pedro,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

To add an Authorization header on file upload request, we suggest you to use setRequestHeader in ClientSideOnBegin event. Using setRequestHeader you can add a header to Http request in xhr element. But for browsers below IE10 xhr will not be available in that case we suggest you to use ActiveXObject. Once the header is set you can access it in the handler from the HttpRequest.Headers. Please refer the following code example,
<code>
[ASPX]
<ej:UploadBox ID="upload1" runat="server" SaveUrl="saveFiles.ashx" RemoveUrl="removeFiles.ashx" ClientSideOnBegin="OnBegin"></ej:UploadBox>
[Script]

        function OnBegin(args) {

            if (!this._isXhrSupported()) // to check xhr supported browsers

                xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

            else

                xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); // IE10 and below

            xhr.open("post", "saveFiles.ashx", true);

            xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Uploadbox");

            xhr.send(null);
        }
</code>

Hi Ezhil,

I'm sorry but either I placed this thread under the wrong category (asp.net) or it was moved by mistake. 

I am using the Javascript control and not the ASP.NET control. Is the begin event equivalent? Should we set the Cancel flag to true to prevent the control from making the request?

Because this issue was quite urgent for us I have also opened the incident 147914 related with the same topic.

Kind Regards,

Pedro
