API Issues

Hi Monotoko,

I tried the following, which I cut and pasted from the authentication documentation, and with the proper values in those first three variables, it works just fine for me

PHP:

<?php 
$whmusername = "root";
$whmpassword = "s3cr3t!";

$query = "https://10.1.1.1:2087/xml-api/version";

$curl = curl_init();        
# Create Curl Object
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,0);    
# Allow self-signed certs
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,0);     
# Allow certs that do not match the hostname
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER,0);            
# Do not include header in output
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);    
# Return contents of transfer on curl_exec
$header[0] = "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($whmusername.":".$whmpassword) . "\n\r";
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);  
# set the username and password
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $query);            
# execute the query
$result = curl_exec($curl);
if ($result == false) {
    error_log("curl_exec threw error \"" . curl_error($curl) . "\" for $query");    
# log error if curl exec fails
}
curl_close($curl);

print $result;

Could you post the URL that you're attempting to make? The 404 error code is for malformed or non-existent URLs.

PS. a side note, that documentation page has "\n\r" for the newline in the header auth string. I think it should be "\r\n" ie CR+LF. I ran the example with both, and for this simple script, it worked fine regardless. However, for integrity's sake, I'll ask Documentation to update it.
