Hi Andrew
the site without authentication was a test on my dev environment.
Thanks for the idea - interesting: I didn't know it is possible to
configure that in a web server. It could be as you say, however I am
getting the same error when sending the request without credentials.
I'd rather expect for HTTP 401 in that case.
thanks again

Paolo
