HTTP GET REST no response

[MechEng70]

Been using Tasker for years now with my home automation system. Decided to try Automagic.
Can build the URL and show it on the screen, however when using the http get, the response comes back as blank, not null.
When the URL is put into a browser, the system will respond back with the expected results.

Does anyone have any other experience with the http get other than the one tutorial?

Does anyone use the http get with ISY?

I don't have experience with ISY. But I use Eventghost web server and automagic HTTP request trigger to communicate back-thru.

Try to put Condition Debug Dialog to see the result of the response. Probably the response is there, but processed wrongly.

Seems like there is an issue with the http request. NETWORK 401.
Although when the URL is put into a browser it works.

Error 401 seems like authentication error. Do you put correct username password? Try to disable the password in the server for testing.

Can you replicate what you do in tasker before?

[MechEng70]

Thats the exact URL from Tasker. Also pasted it into a browser and it worked.

Really strange.

I removed the username and password from the http string and checked the basic authentication, adding the username and password. That succeeded.

Strange that the URL version doesn't work.

[Desmanto]

Info from Wikipedia, stated the URL encoding username:password@ method has been deprecated.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_acc ... entication

Authorization field at least encode the username password using base64. It is not secure, but at least it is not readable by human.
Automagic probably want to enforce it, and avoid using readable username password.

Thanks. Appreciate the information.
