Hi all

Looking for help in using Tokens for my Cloud provider

Curl works fine:

`curl -i -X POST https://api.madrid.gigas.com/token -d 'login=apiuser&password=apipswd' -H 'Accept: application/json'`

``

`curl -i -X GET https://api.miami.gigas.com/virtual_machines -H "Authorization: Gigas token=apitoken" -H 'Accept: application/json'`

method: POST  
body: “login=apiuser&password=apipassword”  
HEADER\_Content-Type: “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

Anyone any ideas
