Re: [Handle-info] 14.6.3 Basic Access Authentication
The Handle server will ignore attempts to authenticate over plain http. Send your requests to https://...:8000/api/handles instead. If using curl, you will generally need to add the -k or --insecure command-line option to have curl accept the self-signed certificate from your handle server.
