SDWebImage and setting custom HTTP headers?

Question

I´ve just changed my code for caching images away from EGOImageCache to SDWebView. Unfortunately i don´t know how to set custom HTTP headers as i have to send authentificati

Answer 1

I had the same problem, and I tried to make:

SDWebImageDownloader *manager = [SDWebImageDownloader sharedDownloader];
[manager setValue:username forHTTPHeaderField:@"X-Oauth-Username"];

But the header were not send. After some tries, I came across the problem, SDWebImageDownloader at sharedDownloader makes a new instance of SDWebImageDownloader, so when you put the header at that instance, the instance that really downloads the image don't has the header.

I've solved making this:

SDWebImageDownloader *manager = [SDWebImageManager sharedManager].imageDownloader;
[manager setValue:username forHTTPHeaderField:@"X-Oauth-Username"];
