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](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/unable-to-post-on-a-rest-api-using-https/66769/8)) This is currently what I have in a simple button event: ```auto client = system.net.httpClient(bypass_cert_validation = True) url = "https://10.10.0.3/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?zoom=1000" client.post(url) ``` ```auto ``` 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.
