Hello,

I’ve following for $http headers on angularjs documentation, but i never success when implementing in my program. by the way i’m using Basic authentication.  
I put headers in config, here we go 😄

```
.factory('authInterceptor', function($location, $q) {
  return {
    request: function(config) {

      config.headers = config.headers || {};

      config.headers.Authorization = "Basic "+ btoa("admin:1234");

      return config;
    }
  };
}) 

.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $httpProvider, $translateProvider, localStorageServiceProvider) {

  $httpProvider.interceptors.push('authInterceptor');

})

```

It’s should be sent Authorization headers every http request, but when i looking for it there is nothing.

This is the screenshot 😄

Hi,  
I fixed that by tricking my rest server (php) so i create another authentication not using authentication that has already like ‘basic’ or 'digest’  
I just create another one
