Authentication problem sending URL request via code using Web Service

[derenyi]

Hello,

 

The problem is: 

I am trying to use Presta's WebService, by sending url requests programatically, using WinHttpRequest.

I use PS1.6, I configured what I had to in BO, if I type this url into a browser, everything works fine:

http://[email protected]/api/

 

But when I try it using WinHttpRequest, the answer is: "401 Unauthorized"

 

It is obviously so, because Presta prompts me for user password, as it is written in the developer's documentation:

http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Chapter+2+-+Discovery+-+Testing+your+access+to+the+web+service+with+the+browser

"The shop should prompt you for a username and a password to enter"

 

I just can't figure out, how to get around this problem. (Actually, I do not really see why Presta prompts me again for the authentication key, which is already in the url?)

 

Any suggestion would be really appreciated!

 

Thank you, bye,

Istvan

I have the same question.

Hello cowboyGeek!

 

The solution is: http://teszt.diaper.hu/api&ws_key=xyzpasskey

 

I think the documentation is simply erroneous with that.

(If you use just http://teszt.diaper.hu/api instead of http://[email protected]/api/ (as the documentation suggests), the result is the same)

 

bye,
