I am trying to request a JSONP output from an external API that requires basic authentication. I have the code below to access it:

$.ajax({
   url: "https://api.example.com/photos/highest-rated?gender=f",
   dataType: "jsonp",
   beforeSend: function(xhr) {
       xhr.setRequestHeader("Authentication",
       $.base64.encode(device_id + ":" + secret_key));
   },
   success: function(json) {
       alert('works');
   },
   error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
       alert (textStatus);
       alert (errorThrown);
   }

The resulting errors are:

textStatus = "parsererror"
errorThrown = "Error: jQuery18306713019642047584_1367530194009 was not called"

I'm using this jQuery plugin for the Base64 encoding: https://github.com/carlo/jquery-base64.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
