I would like to be able to use the very simple, 1-line HTTP “remote open door” call with the command string format described in the GDS3710 manual:
https://admin:password@192.168.23.123/goform/apicmd?remotepin=12345&type=1
Every time I try to use this (with my correct password, server address and remote pin, of course) I get a failure with “basic authentication error”.
The “Enable HTTP API Remote Open Door” setting is correctly set to “Basic Authentication”, but I cannot get the remote open to work. What am I doing wrong? I would like to avoid the complexity of the MD5 challenge/response interaction if possible, and I had hoped this simple, url-based approach would do the trick.
Thanks,
Rick
