I appreciate the response, I tried that first via an http request but I believe I was being blocked by security. I have really enjoyed using the Selenium IDE so far so I would like to pursue this issue further. I'm just surprised that it works from the native command line, but not the exec node.

I actually have another forum post where I provide more details about my attempt using an http request if you are interested.

The "authentication" settings in the the http request node are only valid if the website is using basic authentication. We don't know this. There are many ways to implement security on websites and it all depends how they have set it up. Do they use basic auth, tokens, session cookies etc. The only way to figure this out is using the web inspector on the website you are trying…
