hi, i'm trying to make a simple web api call to a server expecting a return of its status. Below is my code with the headers required by the server with rest api. My problem is that I always get http 403 error, asking for admin account even if i already passed the correct admin account. appreciate your help to check if i did something wrong in the coding. thanks. 

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use JSON;
use HTTP::Request;
use JSON::WebToken;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

my $token = "5335cc306eba9214b73ec0643c6a0656";

my $payload = {"iat :" => 1443857906, "email :" => "user\@mydomain.com
+", "password :" => "mypass"};

my $jwt_str = JSON::WebToken->encode($payload, $token);

my $url = "http://192.168.0.100:8081/api/elasticubes/servers/localhost
+/status";

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);

$req->header('content-type' => 'application/json');

$req->header('x-auth-token' => $jwt_str);

print "\n";

my $resp = $ua->request($req);
if ($resp->is_success) {
    my $message = $resp->decoded_content;
    print "Received reply: $message\n";
}
else 
{
    print "HTTP GET error code: ", $resp->code, "\n";
    print "HTTP GET error message: ", $resp->message, "\n";
}

print "\n";
