I know that Axis camera API specific issue should be raised at axis developer community forum but the issue seems generic to http web access so trying to get some help here
I have Axis IP camera connected to local network. I am facing issue in accessing Camera API through wget/curl commands from BusyBox (Embedded Board in same local network)
When accessing Camera through its API from window cygwin's wget command, its giving me valid response:
admin@LAPTOP /cygdrive/c/axis $ wget -O imageformat.txt 'http://root:[email protected]/axis-cgi/param.cgi?action=list&group=Properties.Image.Format'

But when I try to achieve the same from wget/curl command from BusyBox shell its failing with 'error: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized' I am sure that camera credentials (username/password) are correct (as I am able to access the camera from browser and windows cygwin shell with same credentials):
root@admin:~# curl 'http://root:[email protected]/axis-cgi/param.cgi?action=list&group=Properties.Image.Format'

wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
What can be the issue? Am I missing any authentication/certificate parameters from busybox's wget?
