IFTT and Blue Iris

[itm]

I've been trying to use IFTTT to change my Blue Iris profile, using IFTTT's Webhooks service to send the appropriate HTTP request to my BI server. If I fire off the HTTP request below from a web browser it corrrectly sets my BI profile to 3 (I have port 90 redirected to my BI server on my router). If I trigger it from IFTTT nothing happens. Has anyone here had any success using IFTT to switch BI profiles?

I’m hoping to do something similar. Anyone get this going?

I'd suspect that IFTT isn't authenticating correctly. You'll need to have "secure only" mode disabled on BI's web server settings and then get IFTT to use HTTP basic authentication.

How do you get IFTTT to use HTTP basic authentication?

The only way I could do it was embedding my login credentials in the URL, which isn't exactly secure - e.g.
http://bi-username:bi-password@mydyndns.ddns.net:90/admin?profile=3

I don't know. I know Blue Iris has some support for passing credentials in the URL for compatibility with systems that won't use HTTP basic auth. But I don't use it so I never remember the parameter names you need to use.
