Make web request

[sonny77]

Hello Everybody (very new to Webcore & 1st time post)

Would somebody be able to help me please,
I have been able to successfully make a post web request…
The request fires and switches on the item. as i wanted it to do
my problem is, there is basic authentication, when basic authentication is disabled it works, but i cannot work out what format to use or how to enter it in the authorization header so i can use it when the basic authentication is enabled.

Many thanks

Using Authentication Headers:

Instead of typing your credentials into the URL, you can extract the authentication header from your browser and paste that into the corresponding field in the webCoRE get request box.

Load the URL in the browser (without the credentials section as detailed above) and enter your user/pass
Open the browser’s console (press F12) and go to the Network tab, then refresh the page
Select the request and look for the Request headers section, find the Authentication field - copy the value in there and paste it as a value into the new Authentication header field of the Make web request task.

Most of the time you’ll see Authorization as “Basic blahblahblahMIMEencodedblahblahblah”

Here is @Robin to explain things
