I'm trying to use Basic Auth with my restful service; see <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10/services#Access-Control) for my starting point, although I'm doing a post.
curl --request POST -TransferEncoding C:\dir1\test1.txt --user userx@servery .com:pwd1 http://ww.zz.uu.39/uploader/default/shove/upstuff/ <http://52.34.144.39/uploader/default/shove/uploadf/ServicesAPI.log> test1.txt This works fine from the command line (centos or Win7, as long as curl is installed). And I successfully used this with libcurl in my Windows test client ("u...@servery.com" --> "user%40servery.com"). Tcpdump on the server shows the u/p fields moved to an "Authorization:" header (Basic). When I try this from WinINet functions, the u/p stuff in the URL is stripped but no "Authorization:" header is added. Setting the u/p in *InternetConnect()* seems to be ignored. As a result, I get back a 303 redirecting to the login page. (I'm using shake-the-box Rocket server for prototyping, though I plan to move to nginx later.) This MS page suggests that WinINet is expecting a 401, although it isn't clear that applies to Basic Auth or just challenge-response authentication. <URL:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384220%28v=vs.85%29.aspx> Some StackOverflow hits suggest that I need to prepare the Basic Auth header myself and use the* lpszHeaders* parameter of* HttpSendRequest()*. Is that my only choice, or am I missing something? Thanks.
