HTTPAPI authentication

["Clive Johnson" <Clive.Johnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hello HTTPAPI people.



   New user of HTTPAPI. Installation went well and I have successfully
   accessed the Currency converter web service Scott uses in his example
   code.



   Having proved the mechanism is all working Ok I need to move on and
   create a real application. The web service I need to access requires
   authentication which need to be supplied in the HTTP header.



   The support guys at the web service have provided me with the
   following example of the HTTP header which I need to generate.



   POST /dm/services/AllocationService?wsdl HTTP/1.0
   Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
   Accept: application/soap+xml, application/dime, multipart/related,
   text/*
   User-Agent: Axis/1.2RC3
   Host: test1.metapack.com:8180
   Cache-Control: no-cache
   Pragma: no-cache
   SOAPAction: ""
   Content-Length: 6093
   Authorization: Basic bese64useridandpassword



   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>.......... etc

   It's the "Authorization: Basic bese64useridandpassword" bit that I
   need to include.

   Can anybody on this list guide me as to what I need to do in HTTPAPI
   to produce this ? I am guessing I will need to use some of the other
   HTTPAPI functions but I don't know which one and don't want to waste a
   lot of time guessing.



   Any help will be much appreciated.



   Thanks
