Dear All, so I found this recent StackOverflow issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72904388/how-do-i-use-http-basic-auth-with-http-client based on which I tried to use `make-uri` and pass the URI record (including credentials) to the http-client. This also gives a 403 reply from the server. I also tried manually encoding `"myuser:mypass"` as base64 without use.
As a sidenote, using `uri-common`, I was not able to get a slash between port and path from `make-uri`; I had to use `(update-uri (uri-reference ...) ...)`. @Vasilij: Thanks for testing and explaining.
