Has anyone had success with using the Feature Reader to read JSON from an HTTPS call? I am trying to read a JSON string from an API into FME for processing. It works great when I use the "JSON Reader" (standalone reader). But I need to do some processing steps before it so trying to do the same thing using the Feature Reader transformer (reading JSON). I am having no success with the Feature Reader for reading any JSON strings. Every time I get the same error:

Received HTTP response header: 'HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized'

Configuration is the same in both the JSON reader and the Feature Reader transformer, including username/passwords, its using Basic authentication.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello @tris_w​ 

Do you have a workspace you could share with the URL + Credentials? If unable to share on the forums, I could create a case for this. As it would help us figure out if there is a difference in the request we are making between the FeatureReader and the JSON Reader.

Thanks Trent, yes I have found a different json source that I can share credentials with you. It uses an API key instead of user/password but its the same issue. The JSON reader works fine, but the exact same URL in the feature reader gives a 403 forbidden error. whats your email?

Update to this question: This does appear to be a bug, and as a result I have filed FMEENGINE-67411 to track this issue. I'll post an update here once this has been addressed!
