HeyWatch API Connection Problem using .NET

i tried a few methods but no one seems to work. look at http://heywatch.com/ and to the API http://wiki.heywatch.com/API+Documentation

Our API is based on REST principles, so what you just have to do is an HTTP request to the right resource and the right describing method. The URL to request is always the same: http://heywatch.com or https://heywatch.com

To use our API, you must be authenticated via Basic Auth.

I have an account and trying to just recieve the simple account information using http://heywatch.com/account.xml.

But no chance. I tried following

    Dim req As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(Url & "account.xml")
    req.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Authorization, "BASIC [USER]:[pass]")
    req.Method = "GET"

I replaced the Headers UserPass stuff with Base64 encoded string too

I tried also

Dim myCred As New NetworkCredential(ApiUser, ApiPass, ApiUrl)
Dim credCache As New CredentialCache
credCache.Add(New Uri(ApiUrl), "Basic", myCred)
req.Credentials = credCache

I then later tried to change any possible property like UseDefaultCredentials or AuthenticationLevel

I always get an 401 Not Authorized Error. Please he开发者_StackOverflowlp, thanks ;-)

BTW.: There is already a ported version to PHP, https://github.com/madewithlove/php-heywatch-class

Seems like i made something stupidly wrong yesterday

Dim req As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(url)
req.Method = "GET"
req.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " & Base64.encrypt(user & ":" & pass))

works perfectly now...
