Question

Making HTTP requests with PostText, username/password fields

  • September 10, 2014

I am attempting to make OAuth Request/Response calls using PostText (need to send content) but am unable to get a valid authentication.  There is the username and password parameters, but these don't seem to be translating into the needed format.


I need my user authentication to be passed in the format of "username:password" and have tried various combinations with the parameter fields.  


As an example, using this with curl, I would pass the authentication as part of the -u parameter as "username:password"


Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

    Is the username/password fields not submitted as HTTP Authentication?

    Why not creating Application Key for user you want and use it like this:

    Application Key will work as authentication.
