This just does not seem to be working. I’ve tried the examples that were given in the [documentation](http://emberjs.com/api/data/classes/DS.RESTAdapter.html#toc_headers-customization) to no avail. If I hard-code it without the function, they are inserted. If I try to make it dynamic - the code inside never executes (verified by logging to the console). Even if it isn’t dynamic like the examples, they don’t get added to the headers:

```
App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
	headers: function(){
		return {
			Authorization: 'CuzISaySo',
			Project: 'MyAwesomeProject',
		};
	}
});

```

I have validated that my CORS header is set to accept them. Not sure what else to do; seems like a bug due to the delta in behavior between the documentation and my real-world experience.

```
Ember : 1.7.0 
Ember Data : 1.0.0-beta.5 
Handlebars : 1.3.0
jQuery : 2.0.3
