Digest to Basic switch: 403 error
Wed, 06/24/2009 - 14:44 — mvonrose
I'm trying to switch some simple API over from using Digest to Basic authentication. I'm constantly getting 403 errors now and am wondering what is wrong. All my request URL's have been changed to HTTPS and my authentication type to BASIC. Does my server have to have an SSL certificate for this to work?
Your host system does have to
Your host system does have to be set up to allow SSL connections. If you are unsure if this is the case or are not sure how to enable this feature, contacting your host or vendor is the best course of action.

In order to use an HTTPS to
In order to use an HTTPS to connect to the Constant Contact API, your code must be able to accept a SSL Certificate and validate it. This is typically done by your server or programming language of choice without any work by you. Most modern programming languages (.NET and the latest Java for example) are configured to do these by default. Some older languages (earlier versions of Java and PHP) will require extra configuration and possibly additional code. These types of configurations and extra code steps are beyond the scope of Constant Contacts API support and are best answered by your vendor or the language community you are working in.
