Any idea why this command:

http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/StopAll

Only works from a web browser? For example, if I run it using wget it does not work, even if I append a token.

Works fine here, what response do you get?

[landolfi]

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm new to the MCWS REST interface.

It works if I send the server username and password along with the request, so I guess that's the answer. If I send the token with the request it returns an error, and with just the basic command I get a 401.

What threw me off is if I send a stop request to a named zone, it works with a token.

Is the token perpetual or do I have to request a new one from time to time?

I think they last a few days of so though I can't remember if that is from last use (ie effectively forever if you keep using it) or not.

example that you might be able to try

Code: [Select]

$ TOK=$(curl -q -u user:pass http://yourhost:yourport/MCWS/v1/Authenticate |xmllint --xpath '/Response/Item[@Name="Token"]/text()' -)
$ curl -v "http://yourhost:yourport/MCWS/v1/Playback/StopAll?Token=${TOK}"
