Has anyone tried the Qlik REST connector against the github api? The URL I am using is:
https://api.github.com/repos/robwunderlich/qlikview-components/releases
In the Connect dialog, when I press "Test Connection" I get "Connection to server failed".
I'm using uid/password and have tried with Force Basic Auth on and off.
Anyone else have experience getting this to work? I'm using QV12 SR5.

I managed to solve my own problem.
1. I had some VPN/Proxy software installed that was interfering with the connection. I uninstalled that. On to #2.
2. With Fiddler, I determined that the next problem was a "403 Forbidden" response due to no User-Agent header. (http://developer.github.com/v3/#user-agent-required). I've used Fiddler to fake in a User-Agent header and can now connect.
I'm not sure what the long term solution will be but I'll close this thread.
