The simple answer is to include that Accept header and then check for HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized :) It should be quite easy to do that using HTTPClient. I think you can also use basic authentication instead of submitting the form, as the error includes: WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Application" However it seems using /users/sign_in you still HAVE to do an empty POST (as GET has no JSON representation), e.g. curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d "" --anyauth --user fred:s3cret http://139.59.28.12:3000/users/sign_in I think the proper answer is that the HTTP status response to the browser (Accept: text/html or no Accept at all) is technically wrong (it's not 200 OK) - but probably on purpose by Rails, because you don't want a 401 basic authenticatoin login dialog popping up when you have a nice HTML form. I could not find any of the code doing /user/sign_in in https://github.com/myGrid/taverna-player-portal/tree/master/app/controllers or https://github.com/myGrid/taverna-player/tree/master/app/controllers/taverna_player - perhaps Rob or Finn knows how this is handled? -- Stian Soiland-Reyes Apache Taverna (incubating), Apache Commons http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718
