Auth headers not working ajax 401 Unauthorized

$.ajax({
  type: 'GET',
  url: 'myurl.com',
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Basic " + btoa('username' + ":" + 'password')
  },
  dataType: 'JSON',
  success: function(data) {
    console.log(data);
  }
});

enter image description here

Any ideas why the server is responding with 401 Unauthorized? Username and password are correct and the request works fine outside of JavaScript.

You see response to so called pre-flight OPTIONS request, not the GET request. Your server should handle it properly.
