HTTP Basic Auth

Post by ryanwagner » 16 Aug 2013 14:10

I noticed the new version of Automagic supports ignoring the self-signed SSL certificate errors which is awesome! The downside is that whenever I try to use it with HTTP basic auth (example: https://username:password@example.com) I get a 401 status code returned that seems to indicate that HTTP basic authentication is not supported? Unfortunately the REST API that I'm connecting to only supports HTTP basic auth so I can't POST the login credentials.

Hi,

Basic Auth is not supported by Automagic yet, but I can add it to my todo-list.
I will most likely add two new fields to enter the username and password so you don't have to put the password directly into the URL.

Regards,
Martin

Cool, thanks for the update Martin! I'll keep using the cURL executable I put on my phone (thank goodness for root!) until then.

I just have to say that I was a long time Tasker user, but I've been using Automagic for a few months now and have been able to automate so much more than I did with Tasker because of how easy it is with your terrific interface. Thanks again for the great app, and the update you pushed out today makes it even more incredible.
