Hi Phil,

If I've well understood what you and the other colleagues have said is 
that whatever the method to write the authorization header I use, it is 
the only way of accessing programmatically my server.

I've installed Live HTTP headers, but I am still far from understanding 
all the messages in its window.

Please, could you point me in the right direction to learn what must I 
look for in Live HTTP headers log? Any example?

Thank you so much,

Ricardo
