Question:

Authentication HTML Fails

Apr 24 '15 at 10:54

CLEAR
Local loHttp
Local lnSuccess
Local lcHtml
LOCAL loUsername
LOCAL loPassword
loUsername = "myusername"
loPassword = "mypassword"
loHttp = Createobject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')

lnSuccess = loHttp.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
If (lnSuccess <> 1) Then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    Release loHttp
    Quit
Endif

*  Set the Login and Password properties for authentication.
lohttp.NegotiateAuth = 1
loHttp.Login = loUsername
loHttp.Password = loPassword

lcHtml = loHttp.QuickGetStr("https://www.theurl.com/GatewayWebapp/data/id/9999/app/transactions?lastTransactionNum=0")
? "LastET:"+loHttp.LastErrorText
If (Isnull(lcHtml)) Then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    Release loHttp
    Quit
Endif

This returns the following information:
**HTTP status code for Basic authentication:        401**

Due to an NDA I have had to remove the actual URL and change some wording, but the code is otherwise the same. I welcome thoughts on why this fails if possible.
