Hi Deanna,
I don’t have an account on this site and can’t verify what exactly happened.
I loaded and opened LoggingTool to check the client-server communication. The message log shows that our client tried to send “Basic” authorization data.
1. Load LoggingTool
2. LoggingTool open
3. Set Trace on
4. Set Http messages Client and Server on.
5. Set TLS/SSL cobnnection messages on
In my case:
Client:
GET /admin/products/count.xml HTTP/1.1
Host: blob.myshopify.com
Content-length: 0
Server:
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Server: nginx
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:33:07 -0500
Content-type: application/xml;charset=utf-8
Connection: keep-alive
Status: 401 Unauthorized
Www-authenticate: Basic realm="Shopify API Authentication"
Cache-control: no-cache
X-request-id: 4d127307c6a765e124ce9da62b97df4c
X-ua-compatible: IE=Edge,chrome=1

Client sends Basic authorization:
GET /admin/products/count.xml HTTP/1.1
Host: blob.myshopify.com
Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6WFhY
Content-length: 0
The server returns 401 which is right. The password and username were bogus.

Subject: [vwnc] Authorization issues with XML and JSON using VW vs Dolphin
We're trying to interface to Shopify, and one of our developers has written some Dolphin JSON and XML code, each of which successfully make a call to Shopify. However, using the same login in VW code, we get a 401 Unauthorized error.
This is the Dolphin code in both XML and JSON, each of which work:
XML
(HttpsClient forUrl: 'https://blob.myshopify.com/')
setBasicAuthorizationUsername: 'username'
password: 'XXX';
get: '/admin/products/count.xml'.
RESPONSE XML content
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<count type="integer">3</count>'
JSON
(HttpsClient forUrl: 'https://blob.myshopify.com/')
setBasicAuthorizationUsername: 'username'
password: 'XXX';
get: '/admin/products/count.json'.
RESPONSE JSON content
'{"count":3}'
This is the VW code that should give the same result but doesn't work:
(HttpsURL
host: 'blob.myshopify.com'
pathString: 'admin/products/count.xml')
username: 'username'
password: 'XXX';
get
I get response:
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Server: nginx
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:11:18 +0000
Content-type: application/xml;charset=utf-8
Connection: keep-alive
Status: 401 Unauthorized

Can anyone provide insight?
