I'm trying to install the Requests library for Python to script a code for logging into Microsoft SharePoint. I successfully installed the library in my local Python environment using pip, and I also downloaded the .tar file from the website. However, I'm encountering difficulties getting it to work in Ignition. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in guiding me through the process. Below is the code I'm attempting to create.

I think the usual advice for HTTP calls is to use the built-in [httpClient](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.net.httpClient). As long as the username and password is using Basic Authentication (I don't know if this is the case or not) I would expect it to work.
