Hello my fellow coders. At my company we have an installation of a BI-solution called QlikSense (next generation of Qlikview if anyonw knows about it). In Qliksense i have several tasks that extract data from varius sources and display them as graphs and tables on a dashboard. The entire system is based on websockets (im not 100% sure what websockets actually is though...). Anyways, I now have a need to externaly trigger theese reload tasks and this can be done using the QlikSense management API (http://help.qlik.com/sense/2.1/en-us/developer/#../Subsystems/RepositoryServiceAPI/Content/RepositoryServiceAPI/RepositoryServiceAPI-Connect-API.htm) This API uses REST to send commands and extract information from the Qliksense management console. Since i haven used this kind of API befor, im a bit lost but i have managed to create the following code: $objHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1") $objHTTP.open ("GET", "http://localhost/qrs/user/count", False) $objHTTP.setRequestHeader ("Content-Type", "application/json") $objHTTP.setRequestHeader("Accept","application/json") $objHTTP.setRequestHeader("x-qlik-xrfkey","0123456789abcdef") $objHTTP.send() ConsoleWrite($objHTTP.responseText & @CRLF)This is supposed to return all the users of the Qliksense enviroment, in JSON format, but the only thing i get is a HTML-based code. If i save that to a html file, and open it, i get a logon page. So i guess there is a problem with authentication. I checked the examples in the API documentation and also the topping on authentication. It say that if the sender supports it, the system should uyse standard windows authentication without any need for username/password or certificates. If i just use the standard URL http://localhost/hub i get into the system withut logging on. ANY help would be appritiated. Perhaps someone understands the documentation better then I do?
