Android Question OkHttpUtils2 not sending username password

[mvpmedia]

I can run this get request in my browser to trigger outlets on a power conditioner:

http://user:[email protected]/control.cgi?outlet=0&command=0

but in the B4a log console I get an html login page instead of the expected response:

and expected response:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<request>
<outlet_status>0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0</outlet_status>
<auto_reboot>0</auto_reboot>
</request>

This is what I tried so far:

Sub Button_AllOff_Click
    Dim j As HttpJob
    j.Initialize("", Me)
    j.Username=""
    j.Password=""
    'j.Download("http://192.168.1.185/control.cgi?outlet=0&command=0")
    'j.Download2("http://192.168.1.185/control.cgi", Array As String ("outlet","0","command","0"))
    Wait For (j) jobdone (j As HttpJob)
    If j.Success Then
        Log(j.GetString)
    End If
End Sub

It is not related to the username and password.
It returns a html page with JavaScript that redirects the browser to login.htm. Enable the browser developer tools and monitor the network tag. You will see it.

OkHttpUtils2 doesn't execute the JavaScript. Maybe you need to send the request to login.htm directly.

This worked:

    j.GetRequest.SetHeader("Authorization", "Basic *******")

and it still works when I remove username and password.
