Allow auth endpoint to use basic authentication about pusher-js HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi Tom,

Do you need to pass everything (including channel name and socket id) via headers or do you just want to send additional headers in auth requests?

In the first case, you can't do that right now without implementing a new authorizer. You'd need to provide a special function and assign it to the Pusher.authorizers object - https://github.com/pusher/pusher-js/blob/master/src/pusher_authorizer.js#L31. The code is not great, it should get a significant refactoring in the next major release.

Otherwise, I think you can just pass an auth option to the Pusher constructor, like this:

new Pusher("xxx", { 
  auth: { 
    headers: {
      "header name": "header value"
    }
  }
});

from pusher-js.

Hey, second option sounds like it would work - thanks, I did look around and couldn't find this documented anywhere btw...

@tommoor the docs are here: http://pusher.com/docs/client_api_guide/client_connect#options_parameter

Sounds like there should be something on the authenticating users docs that highlights this functionality.

Perfect, appreciated.

I'll add it to the README, because most options are already documented there.
