Title: Connect URL and connect URL HTTPS
Post by: phsc on July 24, 2020, 04:17:11 AM

Hi all

I am connecting to my DCS-7513 and DCS-7514 via URLs constructed like this:

http://username:password@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port/config/motion.cgi?enable=yes

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is external IP


its working perfectly, but I would like to switch to HTTPS

but when I use

https://username:password@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port/config/motion.cgi?enable=yes 


I am being prompted for username and password again


Should I construct the HTTPS URL differently?

or is it not possbile to embed login credentials in URL when it is HTTPS?


any input is highly appreciated

thx-
