Accepted Answer

ummmm this is HTTPS.... require by Basic Authentication...

My result is following.

Piston/0.2.3rc1 (Django 1.6.3) crash report:

Thank you so much for your co-operation!!!

I had misunderstood the POST option. Bad command is following.

curl --user kazu_zamasu:passwd --request 'POST' 'https://mbed.org/api/v2/tasks/compiler/start/' --header 'platform="mbed-LPC1768", program="main"'

I change ｃURL option -d use. I resolve problem!

thank you TSUBOI-san, ARIGATOU(Japanese in the same sense as the English Thank you.)

regards, kazu
