I can get the curl utility working without issues. Can someone please give an example of working VB.Net code(Preferably) or Java code that will bypass the self signed cert, authenticate and send the data please.

This is what I have currently:

Public Class Program
Public Shared Sub Main(args As String())

System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = Function(s, c, h, e) True
Dim request = TryCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create("https://192.168.0.85:8080/api/4/login/auth"), System.Net.HttpWebRequest)

request.Method = "POST"

request.ContentType = "application/json"

Using writer = New System.IO.StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream())
Dim byteArray As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("{
\""user\"": {
\""email\"": \""{{mail@email.com}}\"",
\""pwd\"": \""{{Password}}\"",
\""remember\"": true
}
}")

request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
writer.Write(byteArray)
writer.Close()

End Using

Dim responseContent As String
Using response = TryCast(request.GetResponse(), System.Net.HttpWebResponse)

Using reader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
responseContent = reader.ReadToEnd()

End Using
End Using

End Sub
End Class

  Or C# for that matter. Has anyone done this with anything other than using curl?

  You could also go plain http in your own network by using port 8081 instead of 8080 (which is https)
