CA11851 Re: can i open a page in obrowser with an authentication header included ?

[Bruno Del Sol]

Hello listers,

I was wondering with UK supprot if any of you might have the need for this feature : being able to open a page with 
obrowser with some http headers added, as for authentication or cors, for instance ? And if yes what was your use case 
in a few words ?

Would it be worth it to ask for this enhancement to Omnis ? Are you aware of security issue that this could raise ?

TIA for your answers
Regards
Bruno
