Make sure you are sending the Authorization parameter as part of the header in the request.

HTTP 401 means Unauthorized

If you are using Apache http client, you can read more about Basic Auth here: http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/authentication.html

I had missed the tail part of the url /v1/question/{domain}. Its working now. However, if I try to execute it from on a standalone jave program, gets a response of 401.,I had missed out on the tail part of the url which is /v1/question/{domainname}
