I have a video resource sitting behind OAuth 2.0 wall and want to display it via <video> tag. How can I send Authorization header with video requests?

i had this problem and sent Authorization token in url query parameter like this (server side code must be changed to allow reading Token From both request header & request query parameter) : http://www.example.com/samplevideo?Authorization=sample_token

As far as i know, you can't.

But you can still use the error attribute to check if the <audio> element can fetch the video from JavaScript, and redirect to an authentication page if not.

    Authentication status is not a problem. I already have a token, but need to attach it to the video request. I can't fetch video data with an AJAX request. – Alex B Aug 03 '12 at 15:02
