I think I actually figured it out myself after I had sent the email. Not
sure if the approach I took was the same, but basically what I did was to
use a Groovy script to create the value that needs to be used for the HTTP
authorization, set it in a property, then used a property setting within the
synapse.xml such as:
<property name="Authorization" expression="get-property('basicAuth')"
scope="transport"/>
Which appeared to have the desired affect, as it generated an HTTP header. I
will be testing it today, but I think this should work. I'll also take a
look at the link you sent, as there is probably a better way of
accomplishing this.
Thanks for the timely suggestions, btw!
