Using Rest API

Hello,

I have 2 SERP systems and want to exchange data between them using REST API with basic authentication.

for this I uses SendWebRequest, the function returns TRUE but the blank reply area.

I guess I have a problem passing the username and password, when I pass them like username:password@hostname:port/api... , the SendWebRequest returns FALSE.

here is the code

server = "127.0.0.1";
res = SendWebRequest(server,8033,-1,false,"GET",path,"application/xml","",false,a_req,a_reply,20);
returns true with blank a_reply

server = "SJ:Sample99@127.0.0.1";
res = SendWebRequest(server,8033,-1,false,"GET",path,"application/xml","",false,a_req,a_reply,20);
returns false

when I use the Rest API url in web browser it shows data.

any help?
