WinHTTP problems

Show all headers | View raw

I have a *large* legacy program written in VB6,  Very successfull, 
works fine on all flavours of Windows up to and including 10

Now I need to communicate with a third party using TML Basic Auth and 
JSON.

SO far I have created some short code to test the communications:

Dim HttpReq As New WinHttp.WinHttpRequest

HttpReq.SetCredentials "<username>", "<password>", 0


 HttpReq.Open "PUT", "https://<API URL>", False
 
 
 HttpReq.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
 
 HttpReq.Send " "
 
 HttpReq.Send "GET https://<API URL>"
 
 Both the Send methods result in:
 {
    "status": "error",
    "code": 401,
    "message": "Access denied"
}


The sane credentials do work OK in Postman app.

What am I missing or doing wrong please?
