First of all, congratulations.
Second of all, lucky you! You appear to have an authentication scheme
that should be able to be handled by HTTPAPI.
Third of all, since you are new to HTTPAPI, continue to do the EXAMPLE
programs - preferably in order from EXAMPLE1. When you get to EXAMPLE5,
you find the answer to your first question.
It is really important that you look at, study and run (if possible) the
EXAMPLE programs. This is as close to a manual as there is for HTTPAPI.
Not only that, you will learn Scott's programming techniques and see how
HTTPAPI is put together. The complete "tutorial" is not finished, but if
you do the EXAMPLE programs, you will be way ahead of the game. Don't
think you can "skip to the good stuff". It takes only a few minutes in
each program to understand it. You will also see many of the
capabilities of the APIs demonstrated including the authentication
stuff. You will be miles ahead by understanding how stuff is done before
having to ask the questions. The EXAMPLE programs are the documentation
(along with the service program itself). Be sure to read them and
understand.
Did you download the BETA? If not, go do that now. It contains the
latest fixes and is very stable. It might save you some frustration
along the way. http://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/beta/
Good luck!
