Hello,

We send the command below to start stream:

[h\_t\_t\_p://155.X.X.X:8087/v2/servers/Wowza%20Streaming%20Server/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/Eclass/streamfiles/pyrgos102\_103/actions/connect?connectAppName=Eclass&appInstance=_definst_&mediaCasterType=rtp]

and the REST API resources return 401 digest auth failed.

can anybody help?
