This is a bit new to me, but this is part of what they said:

"I don’t think you actually send the userid and password. You need to set up “HTTP Basic Authentication”. It’s sent as another request property; like the Content-Type."

Then this:

"Here is sample Java code that I’ve used to do this:"

String authString = id + “:” + password;
String encoding = Base64.encode(authString.getBytes());
connection.setRequestProperty(“Authorization”, “Basic “ + encoding)

>Are you sure they are using basic authentication?
