    Hi there,

    I spent the last two weeks trying to figure out why basic authentication wasn’t working even though I’m using the API via https://

    The issue is around PHP-FPM (FCGI) removing the auth headers on my server.

    1. Do I try and sort it out (it’s a managed dedicated server)?
    2. Do I pass the key and secret via query params?
    3. Do I try us oauth (please don’t say this)?

    I’m just asking about best practice. If it’s fine to pass credentials in the URL over https then I’m happy to do that.

    Thanks so much!
