Re: Bing API Authentication in Perl

I think my syntax for passing the credentials in the request is correct.

Doesn't look like it to me :)

$mech->credentials( $username, $password )
  Provide credentials to be used for HTTP Basic authentication for all
  sites and realms until further notice.

I tried the method you have specified to use: `$mech->credentials('',$account_key);` however, it does not work either and gives the same error: "The authorization type you provided is not supported. Only Basic and OAuth are supported". I have even tried specifying a valid user agent, just in case they are performing User Agent Sniffing and it does not work. So, I set the user agent alias as follows: `$mech->agent_alias('Windows IE 6');` Again, I receive the same error for authentication.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
