Passing Creadentials and parameters through http headers

Hi all,

I want to Pass the credentials and the Post parameters in a request and need to get the response content.

I tried with the following approach. 

1) Credentials are getting passed correctly however am not getting the parameter passed. 

2) If am passing the credentials in the url it is working fine. I want to pass the credential in header

3) Getting 401 - AUTH_REQUIRED Message

Method I:

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use Data::Dumper;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';
$uri = 'https://url/goeshere';
$in = {'test1' => 'test'};
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $uri,Content => $in);
$req->authorization_basic($username, $password);
$req->header("Content-Type" => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
my $output=$ua->request($req)->content;
print Dumper $output;

Method II:

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use Data::Dumper;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$in = {'test1' => 'test'};
my $res = $ua->post('https://username:password@url/goeshere', $in);
print Dumper $res->content;

Method III:

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use Data::Dumper;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$url = "https://url/goeshere";
$in = {'test1' => 'test'};
$ua->credentials($url, 'TESTREALM', 'username' => 'password');
my $res = $ua->post($url, $in);
print Dumper $res->content;


Please guide me, 

I want to Pass both credentials and parameters through headers.

Thanks,
Prabu
