REST API with Basic Auth

[Jean-Claude Cote]

I'm trying to send queries via the /query.json REST endpoint. This works
just fine however if I turn

on authentication I get a 307 redirect to the login page.

So I added the HTTP header Authorization: Basic dm9yZGVsOnZvcmRlbA==

but I'm still getting a 307 redirect to the login page. Is that normal?


Thanks
