The way this Web API works is that, first I have to call a service and pass a user name and password. And I get a token in return (JSON) authorizing further calls to the Web API. I did the first call and verified that the returned token is valid. I can see it in the debugger.
Then, by design of this Web API, when I need to call another server (like get records from a table), I have to pass - in the Header - this token that I got with the first call. Here is the problem. When I add the value of this token (exact syntax specified by the developer is ("Authorization", "bearer " + _token) I get back the message that "Authorization has been denied for this request."

Note that by design of this Web API, I don't need to pass user name and password on any further calls. And I see this code works in the sample C# example the developer of Web API provided.

I think the problem is in the Header. That is I need to find out if the value I add to the Header goes to the "right" header.

I am guessing that maybe when I add [ ("Authorization", "bearer " + _token) ] to the header, it does not set to the right header property. For example, if I use the wwHTTP class suggested by Thierry, and use the method AddHeader(), the value actually is assigned to the property named "cExtraheaders". Which does not work.
