HTTP 401 Status Code when successfully using a API Key?

Why would I get a HTTP 401 Unauthorized when using a url with"https://" but a 200 OK when using "http://" ?

The below code sample, updates the variable but kicks out a HTTP status code of 401.

Code: Select all

def simple():

    my_headers = {"Authorization":
                  "Bearer MY API KEY"}

    indigo_server = 'myreflector'
    variable_name = 'playing_around'
    new_value = 'superman is clark kent'

    url = 'https://{0}.indigodomo.net/variables/{1}?_method=put&value={2}'.format(indigo_server, variable_name, new_value)

    reply = requests.get(url, headers=my_headers)
    print (reply.status_code)


if __name__ == "__main__":

    simple()

Yeah, looks like there's a bug in the return code. We'll look into it.

Thanks Jay.

I almost didn't ask..thinking I need to search the forums more for the answer.

Setting a variable value seems to be the only part of the REST API that's returning an incorrect HTTP status code but let me know if you run across any other calls that do it.
