 * The dev site I am working on is in my sites list. It has basic HTTP authentication.
   I have entered the username / password and verified it works in my browser. However,
   when I use it with Keyy I get a 401 error. What is causing this?

 * Hi Nigel,
 * On the sites that have basic http auth have you added the http auth username 
   and password to the Keyy app?
 * Can you also send the log files using the in app option?
 * Best Wishes,
 * Ashley
