URL parameters to do a GET to the ted gateway to get historical data

[Edit]  Moved to developer section.


I have a pwd protected TED and hope there is a way to pass the userid and password as additional arguments on the URL.. but my feeble attempts have not worked.

Example
http://TED5000/history/secondhistory.xml?MTU=1&userid=foo&password=bar

I'll bump this to see if someone from TED knows if I can put the userid / password in the URLs that can be used to get data.

I only have the higher level pwd setting checked on because I was afraid that things like resetting settings or the ted itself could be done if I don't do that.

A ticket I put in (ticket 392 )  had a reply that with the config pwd only.. those things should not work.. but I was afraid to try it.

I will have to try it and hope there is some confirmation box to tell me when i'm about to hurt myself.. I will dump the cookies and then remove the overall pwd and just keep the config pwd protected.

In the meantime, I was hoping the id / pwd can be passed in the URL to get data remotely..

In order to authenticate, you'll need to use basic authentication which is a base-64 encoded header parameter. More information on how to send this header (w/ a couple of examples) can be found here:

I just tested wget and it works fine using this command.  I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but this does work.

wget --http-user=admin --http-passwd=password ted5000/api/LiveData.xml

Enjoy!
