Evertjan, 

Your correction is not what I posted and does not address the error as you stated. 
Your assuming I'm just throwing this out there without debugging ?  I'm reaching out because I have spent the last 20+ hours trying to get a simple curl one line into vbs.  

My problem was the base64 encoded string I created it had encoded the ":" and gave me 2 incorrect characters in the string.  I changed it to what I captured and the code now works but needs error checking.  
I tried getting and example I saw to dynamically encode but failed completely. 
Removed credentials from the open statement and using the encoded string only. 
xmlhttp.open "POST", url, false 
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "Basic ******encoded string****" 
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
xmlhttp.send(strJSONToSend)


Anyone have good working example of error condition checks ?  I've tried all the ones I found on Google.
