authentication using Zend_Http_Client

Question

I'm trying to use Zend_Http_Client to make a simple post request on a site that requires authentication. Everything seems to be correct but I'm still getting a You are not authorized to view this page error. Any ideas what the problem might be? I'm certain the username and password are correct

    $client = new \Zend_Http_Client('http://ncmcrm/sales_summary/activity_range.asp');

    $client->setHeaders('WWW-Authenticate', 'Negotiate');

    $client->setParameterPost(array(
            'from_day'  => 1,
            'from_month'   => 1,
            'from_year' => 2012,
            'to_day' => 31,
            'to_month' => 1,
            'to_year' => 2012,
            'user_id' => '{BCDF3313-9DBA-40E7-9CD8-02332F72A64F}'
    ));

    $client->setAuth('******', '*****', \Zend_Http_Client::AUTH_BASIC);

    $response = $client->request('POST');
    print_r($response->getBody());

Here's what I get in Firebug for the POST request that I'm interested in:

vote up for this $client->setAuth('******', '*****', \Zend_Http_Client::AUTH_BASIC); — HaRsH, May 18 '15 at 14:47

You're setting the WWW-Authenticate header to "Negotiate", but then you're trying to set Basic Auth headers with $this->setAuth.

Assuming the web server will in fact allow basic auth, Removing the $client->setHeaders('WWW-Authenticate', 'Negotiate'); line should work.
