Making a ReST API call with authorization header

Hi all,
I'm trying to make an API call to a service which requires an authorization header, but having a time with figuring it out. Perhaps syntax?
I'm on version 6.1 of PDI community edition.

My transformation is simple:

1. I generate a row which provides the url, my parameter (-k) and my authorization header
2. The REST Client step takes the URL from the submitted rows, and uses the headers and parameters passed in as well

I'm not doing anything with the XML output just yet. The result of this call is a 401, so it's letting me know I'm unauthorized.
I've attached my work sample, having swapped out the actual url as authentications. I did validate that all of these were correct (opened the url in a browser), verified that my username and password were properly translated. And I was able to make a curl call with this for the correct response.

So how do I properly use the authentication headers? I've tried

• As a parameter
• As a header
• with and without quotes
• Including -H "Authorization: basic <username:password>"

But still not getting through.

Thanks for your help and clarifying questions!
