basic http authentication using corona?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Can one use corona (either network or the lua core stuff) to make an http request with basic authentication? I need to hit a web service (RESTful interface) which requires a uname and password.

Also looking for any tips or articles on how to do this relatively securely with or without using ssl (which I presume corona doesn’t yet support).

Nevermind - just found the twitter demo in the sample code - perfect! (at least gives me a start) [import]uid: 3051 topic_id: 18337 reply_id: 70289[/import]

I had to double check on this as it’s a little out of my realm of expertise but here’s an answer for you from one of Ansca’s finest;

“Yes, our network.request API supports HTTPS for secure transactions. We also have LuaSockets that can be used for non-secure TCP and HTTP operations.”
