I don't want to use curl so I I need Basic Authentication but where do I change this in Indigo and which of the two is best and will give less hassle in the future?

delay 5
tell application "Messages"
set myid to get id of first service
set theBuddy to buddy "toemailaddress" of service "E:fromemailaddress note the E:"
send POSIX file "/Users/Username/Documents/Indigo-BlueIris/CameraNameShort/Animated.gif" to theBuddy
end tell

I just double checked as I didn't recall switching to basic authentication (if I had realised you could it would have made my DoorBird Integration at lot simpler). My motion triggers are working just fine without adding the configuration file/change to the webserver. I am fully up to date with BI versions on 4.6.9.4 x64 Not sure what else would be allowing this to work, other than perhaps digest has been added silently as the release notes are not the most comprehensive for BI.
Just about to try the beta for the animation now and will keep you posted, I plan trying it with pushover and a curl script I have working to send images (outside the plugin but trivial enough).
Thanks,
Neil

The GIF creation worked first time, less successful was Pushover. I did a simple hardcoded script to push the animated gif and that worked fine, but the Pushover client doesn't show the GIF animation, just the first frame.
I then tried your AppleScript, and it worked perfectly (once I figured out how to create an AppleScript that is, the only wrinkle was I had to use my mobile number not email, but suspect that is because of the address book on my indigo mac )
On the authentication I don't think it is a huge issue as I use the reflector, I think it was a bigger issue for those that used port forwarding. Regardless now thinking about it we managed to get it working for Professor Falken without making the change as well (sometimes ignorance is bliss) so it does look like the latest versions of BI may have addressed this.
I will play more with the settings etc now. I also need now to better tune my triggers as I have just got a nice animation of the sun bouncing off the car. As I wasn't using the triggering up until now, false positives were better than missed activity
Thanks again for all of your work on this.

Look at Teamviewer, I am using it to control my BI box and Indigo in the Artic UK from sunny Perth in Oz on my MacBook, no VPN required, just use a strong username/password and set them both up for remote access via password. Works on Mac and Windows and is free for home use.
