Glad it work sorry I just saw this.

Typically I like to set CB_USERNAME and CB_PASSWORD as environment variables. I don’tlike putting credentials in the URL.

Then I use:

curl -v -u ${CB_USERNAME}:${CB_PASSWORD}
-GET http://10.10.10.10:8096/api/v1/status/sample_function

thanks, @jon.strabala - did the same.

off the topic, is there a way we can call these URLs on HTTPS over HTTP?

Yes http → https 8096 → 18096 and you may need a -k option

curl -k -v -u ${CB_USERNAME}:${CB_PASSWORD}
-GET https://10.10.10.10:18096/api/v1/status/sample_function
