Hello,  
after updating to WSE 4.8.19+4 I cannot access anymore REST API interface through PHP using WSE PHP Rest library.  
Any request with authentication (basic or digest, cleartext or hashed password) returns this response: [“message”]=\> string(40) “The request requires user authentication” [“code”]=\> string(3) “401” [“wowzaServer”]=\> string(8) “4.8.19+4” [“success”]=\> bool(false)  
REST API works only without authentication (none).  
Any suggestion to bring back authentication?  
Thanks.
