suppose your HTTPService goes to a server that need basic authentication, you'll be prompted EACH time with a pop-up, fill with user and password. This can be very annoying specially in long dev/debug session.
setCredentials and setRemoteCredentials for different reasons, don't work with "simple" http auth.
Solution:
- add custom header and send it before any further request
how to implement:
- define your HTTPService as you desidred (mxml, as)
- add initialization code as shown below:
