Is HTTP authentication supported in rest? If not could it be included?

You should be able to simply do this:
https://username:password@example.com/

It works on a browser if I use that format no worries, it won’t work within Rest though. I am using the below code:
{exp:rest url=“https://user@userdomain.com:password@domain.com” verb=“get” format=“json”}
Name: {handle}<br>
{/exp:rest}
There are no results returned at all (there should be plenty).
Any ideas?

Also just tried on a live site instead of my local development site, same results…being no results.

Phil - any chance you’ve been able to look at this as yet?

In this case it looks like a no then. It will need special HTTP Header to be sent with a lot of MD5 encryption of hashes and the like. I’ll try and get this nailed for v2.0 as I have written the code for PyroCMS I just need to port it over for you guys.

Probably not as soon as you would like.
Do you have control over this API? If so, dont use emails. If not then… well it is outside the scope of what this module was set up for. The description does say “Open API’s” which mean - no passwords :)

I was just replying to another post (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/support/rest/viewthread/3376) and realised I never got back to you on the not using emails. I did try as you suggested so:
{exp:rest url=“https://apiuser:apiuserpass@domain.com” verb=“get” format=“json”}
Name: {handle}<br>
{/exp:rest}
Still no joy though. Any work on v2.0 done in the past 6 months?

HTTP Basic Auth should work like that, if it doesn’t it must be a weird bug of some description.
2.0 is not coming sadly, as I just don’t have the time anymore. I have open-sourced the code which I am sure a few previous paying customers will be annoyed about - but the hope here is that the community can help to improve it.
I’ll be merging pull requests and trying to fix bugs, but I am not using EE for anything and trying to maintain addons for a system I don’t use is pretty tough.
