problem password protected feed json link

Post by erik » Sun Sep 24, 2017 9:26 pm

Hi i have problems with this JSON stocklist request

https://erik%40augustin.it:eaugustin@XX ... ettpricing

testing
with chrome no problem link returns json data
with edge a popup shows up for login & password

with mjt taskmanager latets version:
Let>HTTP_SSL=1
You may also need to set the TLS version:
//set TLS to use 1.2
Let>TLS_VER=12
HTTPRequest>https://erik%40augustin.it:eaugustin@XX ... ng,,,,JSON
MessageModal>JSON

i get messagemodal: You must enter a valid login ID and password to access this resource

Whats wrong?

Thanks
Erik

The issue is that the username should have the @ character in it (and not already encoded). So you need variables:

Code: Select all

Let>HTTP_SSL=1
Let>TLS_VER=12
Let>[email protected]
Let>password=*****
HTTPRequest>https://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/webservice/?reseller_nettpricing,,GET,,JSON
MessageModal>JSON

in this case you for best result you should put %% around the variables

so
HTTPRequest>https://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ... webservice

becomes
HTTPRequest>https://%username%:%password%@xxxxxxxxx ... webservice


kind regards,
Djek

Actually you do NOT want to do that with HTTPRequest.
