QvRest Connector.exe and authorisation not working, Curl works

Hi

Im trying to connect to a REST api using the QvRest Connector.exe but Im struggeling to autheticate.

This works fine:

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Basic MyApiKey"  "https://Url_to_api"

Question is Can I manipulate the connect string in QlickView or how do I enter myAppKey and the url in the gui?

This does not authentcate me:

Im allowed to reach the index page of the api using the above with no uid/pw or APIKey and this connect string is generated:

CUSTOM CONNECT TO "Provider=QvRestConnector.exe;url=https://Url_to_api;timeout=30;method=GET;autoDetectResponseType=true;keyGenerationStrategy=0;useWind...";

adding https://Url_to_api/datapath and I need to Authenticate.

Your advice is much obliged
