* Testing with postman to get the authentication setup [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/213006/how-to-use-oauth-authentication-with-rest-api-via-curl-commands/239873#239873](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/213006/how-to-use-oauth-authentication-with-rest-api-via-curl-commands/239873#239873)
I’m getting this error
* ```
401 Unauthorized
Unauthorized
This server could not verify that you
are authorized to access the document
requested. Either you supplied the wrong
credentials (e.g., bad password), or your
browser doesn't understand how to supply
the credentials required.
```
* The WordPress site I’m want to access is an http server not https
Has anyone
been able to successfully get this to work?
