Yql HTTP authorization

Question

I have a problem with using yql service in my JavaScript application. Service from which I want to extract information requires HTTP authentication. I do not know how to set yql to identify with a specific user name and password. I read here: http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/guide/yql_url.html but I do not see anywhere how to transmit user name and password needed for HTTP authorization.

Answer 1

This can be done with execute element.

Better support for calling external Web services: Some Web services use their own security and authentication mechanisms. Some also require authentication headers to be set in the Web service request. The execute element allows you to do both. http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/guide/yql-execute-chapter.html#yql-execute-intro
