How to send htpasswd credential when using PIXI.Texture.fromImage

[tsbits]

Hello there,

 

I'm currently using PIXI on a project ( as often because it's my favorite canvas framework ) and I have a little problem.

I'm must work on a staging server protected by an htaccess login system ( BASIC AUTH ).

 

When I try to load a texture with PIXI.Texture.fromImage() method, my calls returns a 401 (Authorization Required) HTTP error.

But only on Chrome ( I'm running the version 39.0.2171.95 - 64 bits - Mac OSX ).

 

If I try to load an image on the Chrome console after filling my auth data and load the page like that :

var i = new Image();i.src="http://mypath/pict.jpg"

It works. If I look at the call that Chrome does, in the request header I see an "Authorization" parameter :

Authorization:Basic Y3JlYWt0a...

That parameter is not in the header of the request generated by PIXI.
Is there a way to pass auth data to PIXI ?

Thanks.

Hello,

 

It is not possible, sorry.

 

Check this out to see how people with similar problem did, but it doesn't seems to be a good solution for you :

Does this work?

i.src="http://USER:PASSWORD@mypath/pict.jpg"

I found changing within the pixi source this line from

 

image.crossOrigin = '';

 

to  

 

image.crossOrigin = 'use-credentials';

 

For me this fixes the issue on Chrome!
