XMLHttpRequest to send a GET HTTP request with an username/password

google-chrome login google-chrome-extension xmlhttprequest

You need to add headers to the XHR request manually.

xml.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + btoa(username + ":" + password))

Demo here: http://jsbin.com/inuhiv/2 (NOte, there is nothing to auth, however look at devtools and see the request has auth header)
