Sending a CURL command

Question

I know this is a bit obscure but I thought it would be pretty straightforward. The curl command I need to execute is
[my_user_name]:[my_password] -H "API-TOKEN: [api_token]" -H "API-VERSION: 0.1" https://domainOfInterest.com/api"
Given my very little curl experience, I came up with something along the lines of:
private var loader : HTTPURLLoader;
                    private var END_POINT : String = "[myDomainOfInterest]";
                    private var user : String = "[userName]";
                    private var password : String = "[myPassword]";
                    private var token: String = "[myToken";
  private function loadURL() : void {
                              var request : URLRequest = new URLRequest();
                              request.url = END_POINT;
                              var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
                              variables.user = userName;
                              variables.password = myPassword;
                              var myToken : URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader( "API-TOKEN", token );
                              request.requestHeaders.push( myToken );
                              var APIVersion : URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader( "API-VERSION", "0.1" );
                              request.requestHeaders.push( APIVersion );
                              request.data = variables;
                              try {
                                        loader.load( request );
                              } catch ( error : SecurityError ) {
                                        Logger.error( "A SecurityError has occurred." );
I am not receiving any bad info (like unauthorized, which I was for awhile) but the data coming back is empty. Is the general form of what I'm trying to do correct?

Answer 1

In case anyone runs into this, I was able to solve my problem by adding one more request header
var JSONHeader : URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader( "Accept", "application/json" );
BTW, since ActionScript doesn't support custom request headers with GET, I used
