With a little looking it seems that the self signed certificate is not trusted. So I added a bypass for testing purposes to see if I could actually make it work before I went about adding the certificate and what not. (from here: Unable to POST on a REST API using https - #8 by Ben_Hunt)
This is currently what I have in a simple button event:
client = system.net.httpClient(bypass_cert_validation = True)
url = "https://10.10.0.3/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?zoom=1000"
client.post(url)
<Response@1172685220 'https://10.10.0.3/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?zoom=1000' [401]>
However, this still does not seem to accept the zoom function to the camera regardless of HTTP or HTTPS. The password and username variables also don't seem to make a difference. 401 is still the return.
The weird thing about this is I did a basic test and just threw the URL into a browser and ran it and it will zoom the camera in but not via the button.
If you have any further suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Cam
