I'm doing exactly that and not running into troubles. Could it be something about your SSL certificate? If it's not a well trusted certificate sometimes you need to install it on the client side. Does it match the domain name you are calling?
I test my server with the following python code and I can use basic authentication with restful calls: import requests from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth import json user = 'myn...@my.com' passwd = 'mypassword' url = 'http://mysrver/app/controller/resfullcall.json' r = requests.get(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(user, passwd)) # print r.text # Decode the JSON response and get the access token decodedDict = json.loads(r.text) -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
