Redmine

I'm looking for help with using basic HTTP auth with the Redmine API.

In Adminstration, Settings, Repositories I checked the box for "Enable WS for repository management" and clicked "Generate a Key".

A client application called HockeyApp can use the Redmine API, so in HockeyApp I entered my Redmine URL and the API key. It comes back with a message that I need to check my credentials.

So, to debug this and check to make sure I have Redmine set up right, I tried using curl to extract a list of projects (I have only one). It comes back with "unauthorized". Will someone help me with a curl command line to get the list of projects using basic auth?

One of the variations I've tried is this:

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST --data "" -u <myapikey>:randompassword http://dev.mydomain.com/redmine/projects.xml

Which gives this:

* Adding handle: conn: 0x7fe6c3804000
* Adding handle: send: 0
* Adding handle: recv: 0
* Curl_addHandleToPipeline: length: 1
* - Conn 0 (0x7fe6c3804000) send_pipe: 1, recv_pipe: 0
* About to connect() to dev.mydomain.com port 80 (#0)
