==============

After my previous post on using JSON in Dynamics AX2012 I have received a number of requests for some slightly more advanced examples. I will attempt over the next couple of weeks to provide some.

Today I will cover the use of Basic http authentication. There are a couple of non-intuitive tricks that one needs to use to get it to work.
Before performing any direct requests as per our previous example you will need to make some modifications to the headers in your RetailRequestWeb object.

The first header modification is to add the “Authorization: Basic ” header. You can do so by building up the header string as follows

System.Text.Encoding ascii;str credentials;credentials = "myusername:mypassword";//N.B. Encode the credentials before adding them to your headers otherwise you will receive 403 unauthorized errorsascii = System.Text.Encoding::get_ASCII();credentials = System.Convert::ToBase64String(ascii.GetBytes(credentials));//Combine header instruction and encoded credentialsrequest.parmHeader("Authorization: Basic "+credentials);The second modification you need to make is set the request content type to “application/json” without this you may receive 403 unauthorized errors. The retails API allows you to set the content type easily by using the parmContentType method on your RetailRequestWeb object.

request.parmContentType("application/json");Finally the full example of constructing your json request ready for use:

RetailWebRequest request;System.Text.Encoding ascii;str credentials;request = RetailWebRequest::newUrl(_url);credentials = "myusername:mypassword";ascii = System.Text.Encoding::get_ASCII();credentials = System.Convert::ToBase64String(ascii.GetBytes(credentials));request.parmHeader("Authorization: Basic "+credentials);request.parmContentType("application/json");
