If it is a basic authentication, you can try

http://userid:password@mywebservice.com:8080/status/agent/test

not sure it works try first a direct from command line :

curl "http://userid:password@mywebservice.com:8080/status/agent/test"

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Passing credentials when invoking "curl"

I am trying to use curl from a lua script to get data from a webservice and need to pass user/password information. Can someone help me with this? Here is what I am doing, which does not seem to work.

api = freeswitch.API()

agent_status_url = "-u userid:password http://mywebservice.com:8080/status/agent/test"

response = api:execute("curl", agent_status_url)

freeswitch.consoleLog("INFO", response)

Thanks
