Hi John, Thanks for your feedback. I’m passing “2” in the extra parameter. The following HTTP get() is returning an error -9935, badly formed XML. The HTTP get is supposed to be retrieving XML, actually. So the error is not totally off base. But I would prefer to know that authentification failed, not the HTTP get()
