Koen,

I'm sorry again. It turns out that I referred to old information.

I've just tried it by myself, and successfully call a makeRequest() against
an https url with a Basic Auth header, as Alexander suggested.
Please try adding an Authorization header by options.setHeader() call.

However, we still don't recommend to use Basic Authentication even if the
URL is served by https because, your gadget might communicate with our proxy
with a plain http, so there is still a possibility that Authorization
headers are stolen by sniffing.

Re: documentation
I think we should document which headers are allowed with makeRequest calls.
We're working on it.
