How to replace embedded credentials in subresource

Question

I get this error in the console in my Ionic app:

[Deprecation] Subresource requests whose URLs contain embedded credentials (e.g. `https://user:pass@host/`) are deprecated, and will be blocked in M59, around June 2017.

The line of code is a URL for an ajax request:

  function dbUrl() {
        return unescape(encodeURIComponent("http://idname:[e-mail]/pDB.json"));
  }

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

The five-parameter version of the XMLHttpRequest.open method allows you to specify the username and password.

xhr.open(method, url, async, username, password)

Here's the documentation and the spec.
